Boat Harbour Garden Cottages

The Lobster Ponds is a tourist and educational destination providing information about the endangered and threatened freshwater lobster, listed as the largest in the world. You will have a guided tour of the ponds which is set in amongst Tasmania's trees. Enjoy a coffee from our café, serving light refreshments overlooking the beautiful Flowerdale hills and valleys. Our current project involves constructing a bird aviary to house orange bellied parrots which like the lobster is critically endangered.

tunapri Patuyala, translated to "To understand Boat Harbour", is a 1.5hr cultural walk on-country, where we highlight the natural and cultural wonders of the northwest coast of Lutruwita, as well as allow all participants to get hands-on with a cultural craft activity.  Walk in the footsteps of the Old People and discover the wonders of Palawa (Tasmanian Aboriginal) cultural heritage.

Discover Mediterranean delights along with delicious wood-fired pizza at Appleby's Mediterraneo Bar & Grill on Bass Highway in Boat Harbour. Sit alfresco and sip a glass of wine while taking in lush country & ocean views, or head indoors where tantalizing aromas waft from the pizza oven and the air is alive with a lively buzz of conversation. Get things started with wood-fired freshly-baked herb focaccia and olive oil, then delve into gourmet pasta mains such as Seafood linguine with sautéed prawns, scallops, white fish, whole steamed blue swimmer crab, fresh chilli, garlic and spring onions.
