The Cornelian Bay Boathouse

The Cornelian Bay Boathouse
The Restaurant overlooks sailing boats in the bay, the Tasman Bridge and the charming heritage listed boat sheds. This elegant and contemporary venue has an open plan design with two walls of glass doors opening onto the lawns. The design is split-level, this enables all guests to have a view of the spectacular Derwent River.Since opening in November 1999, The Boat House has earned an excellent reputation for exceptional food and first class service. The Cornelian Bay Boathouse is located in Cornelian Bay, Tasmania.

We started our holiday with lunch at the Boat House resturand and ended it there with a celebration lunch for my 60th birthday.



Some of the friendly locals greet us outside the resturant.
Launceston is a city in the north of the state of Tasmania, Australia, with a population (greater urban and statistical sub division) of 99,675, located at the juncture of the North Esk, South Esk, and Tamar rivers. It is the second largest city in Tasmania after the state capital Hobart. Settled by Europeans in March 1806, Launceston is one of Australia's oldest cities and is home to the largest selection of 19th century buildings in Australia. Like many Australian places, it was named after a town in the United Kingdom — in this case, Launceston, Cornwall. Launceston has also been home to several firsts such as the first use of anesthetic in the Southern Hemisphere, the first Australian city to have underground sewers and the first Australian city to be lit by hydroelectricity.
