the boat shed

"Great for weekend break and wonderful to be so close to the beach. Loved the little extras that you dont get in a hotel that made our stay so enjoyable. Jason & Garrett"

"If you need a place to just stop and escape from the real world, this is definitely the place! Quiet, secluded and comfortable, the Boat Shed offers the chance to stop the clock for a while. Close enough to town to not feel too disconnected, but far enough away from town that the only wildlife you will experience here are the turkeys, an opera of frogs at sunset and beautiful tropical butterflies! Oh, and the national park's resident echidna! If you like to fill your days with activity, you'll have no shortage of things to do here - from markets, to local artist performances, a range of sporting activities, great bars and restaurants, stunning beach and nature walks. Or if you wish to do nothing at all (like me) you can find many ways to do that too - meditate, read, practice yoga, swim, sunbathe, pamper at the day spa, watch the sunset from the beach, hone your photography skills... The hosts are very welcoming, and have made every effort to provide you with all the comforts of home. In fact, you may just feel so blissfully comfortable that you might never want to leave!"

"If you're looking to get away from everything and enjoy nature, a quiet atmosphere, some thinking time, a gorgeous beach on your doorstep and generally be part of the local vibe (rather than the tourist vibe), then the boat shed is a perfect place to be... The hosts are fabulous at understanding your needs and answering any questions you may have, from when the local markets are, to nearby yoga instructors. Think walks along Tallows Beach every morning, the native bush turkeys hanging out in the yard in the afternoon, retiring to the boat shed at night to read/write/research on the internet, listening to music, and generally having the space to just be...
