Description

Our River House, affectionately known as Marli ( Aboriginal for Black Swan) is situated on a quiet bend of the Carlton River, 15 mins walk from the beach, the water is crystal clear and both marine and bird life abound.
Absolute waterfront, absolute peace and quiet. You can relax in our quirky Boat shed, nap on the daybed or strike up a fire in the Mariners kettle to poach oysters, collected from the shore on the private beach, a step down from the jetty. If action is your style we have a purpose built volley ball / badminton court in the yard to keep you fit. The house is set up for relaxation with cosy nooks and a view from every room. Spending time @ The River House is sure to rejuvenate and inspire well being. Carlton River is a natural location, unspoilt with over development, this is the perfect possie for your friends and family. Sleeping 5, there is room for 2 couples or a family.

Positioned beautifully for enjoying the Tasman peninsula and East Coast

Carlton River is a 20 min drive for Hobart Airport.
Approx 40 mins from Hobart CBD.
Less than one Hour drive to Port Arthur and the Tasman Peninsular.
From Your nautical abode, you will find a short cut to the Tasman peninsula and Port Arthur. This road cuts travelling by 20 mins and provides you with magnificent scenery as you skirt alongside Fredrick Henry Bay.
Close to Marion Bay and the location of the famous Falls festival, this is an excellent choice for making a base to enjoy what the East coast has to offer. Fantastic walks, notable natural wonders, serenity and peace. Ah the quiet lap of the river @ your doorstep, there is nothing to disturb, bar the native birds and a few friendly possums @ night.

BBQ and relax right on the water

We love to share our quirky boat shed with friends and family, No doubt you will do the same. Even in winter you will enjoy being right on the water. A spot of fishing or simply a quiet drink or two by candlelight, this definitely is a place to unwind and enjoy the romance of being together in a beautiful location.

  • "We would recommend this to anyone looking for a home away from home, in the most beautiful location by the river. The house is a beautiful beach house with lots of attention to detail. We spent a lot of time at the boat house on the river reading and relaxing. We thank the owners for a perfect few days away relaxing, and hope to stay again some day."

  • "The River House was the perfect place to stay with my family who were visiting from over seas. We all loved it and enjoyed being right on the water, fishing, bird watching and just relaxing! We would love to come again! Thank you so much for sharing it with us."

  • "Perfect!Perfect!Perfect!!! What a awesome time our family had staying @ 'The River House'. Even though the weather was not that kind during our stay, we have many fond memories that will last a life time. With 3 young boys aged 9,8 and 5 there was plenty of things available to keep them occupied. They loved playing volleyball, badminton, collecting oysters and mussels, having bbq's with that great view of the river, relaxing on the jetty and being warmed by the fireplace. We thoroughly recommend this accomodation to any couple/family that is looking for something special and has it all. Definatley a place that we would return too."

  • "We took family from overseas to the River House. It is a memory that will be treasured by us all. This place is an amazing piece of paradise, the finishing touches in the house made our holiday filled with pleasant surprises. Can't wait to go back there and share with more of our friends. This place is a credit to the owners. Thank you so much. Mary and Family"

Alan and Wendy Oliver, Masterton N.Z. Thanks for providing a house in such an amazing location. We were really happy we decided to stay 3 nights instead of two! We created some new family memories and our daughter was lucky to spend her first birthday here. My husband did manage to catch a fish. Several others jumped off his line!! We would love to come back. Carl, Natasha and Willow Oliver. "

  • ""Marli" is a beautiful place for two weary 'Melburnians' to escape and relax. We really enjoyed our time here. We had Oysters from under the jetty!! They were very nice. Thank you for your care and attention to our comfort and welfare. All much appreciated. Fond memories. Nikki"

  • "What a delight this Riverside House is!. We loved the location directly on the water. The natural environment was such a treat. We were entertained by a massive seal chasing schools of fish, right under the Jetty!! A sight to behold only meters away. The local oysters were a complete bonus, enjoyed Natural and Kilpatrick in the BBQ. We were thrilled at the resident blue wrens courting at this time of year. A joy to watch. Comfortable, well appointed and full of character. We will be back to enjoy this riverside Property again in the future."
