Accommodation at Wheelhouse Luxury Apartments
These stunning, contemporary apartments offer unsurpassed views of the west coast of Tasmania. In fact, a clever design assures that the dramatic cliff-top vistas of Macquarie Harbour aren't just seen but rather are experienced as the physically thrilling centre piece of the building itself. Air conditioning means effortless comfort. Off-street parking and wheelchair access is available.

The lounge-rooms are cantilevered towards the cliff-top on elevated steel girders. At the front, huge glass windows lean outward at the top, giving the sense of being able to step right up to the cliff's edge, above the immense waterway.

Richly coloured and fossilised stone-work walls anchor this whole grand illusion to solid ground and green grass. Local timbers are featured, including Myrtle, Celery Top and Huon Pine. Wheelhouse Apartments’ designer-builder has also included some of his feature light-fittings and tables, completing a true labour of love.

The two fully self-contained units took over three years to build. The resulting attention to detail and fully realised aesthetic make the Wheelhouse Apartments a unique property.

The idea was to create sense of standing on the bridge of a huge ship, as though the apartments hovered high above the harbour itself. The maritime feel is subtly accentuated by polished timber floors, even pitch-caulking in places, uncluttered space, stanchion wire hand-rails and exterior cladding of open-sky blue.

The upstairs bedrooms don't just have spas... they have spas with more of the incredible views and also separate ensuites. The ever-present view is always absorbing but television sets cantilever off the walls, upstairs and down, for a hint of modernity. Downstairs, kitchen serving windows open onto 'yachtish' sun-decks... more of the floating flavour... and barbecues are provided.
