You can't get any closer to the water. This extremely well appointed floating house boat is berthed in beautiful Kettering. Use it as a base to explore Bruny Island and the channel. Enjoy a comfy retreat in a magical setting. “We are so happy we stumbled upon this gem” ~ recent guest. Wake up to the gentle swell of the ocean. Fish from your front patio. Meet the local black swans on their rounds. Your floating boat house is strongly tethered to pontoons. You can walk straight onto it from land. Custom built by a master shipwright - one of a kind! An experience unmatched in Tasmania.
