Wheelhouse Apartments; contemporary with unsurpassed views over Macquarie Harbour at Strahan, on Tasmania's west coast.

A clever design assures that the dramatic cliff-top vistas aren't just seen but are experienced as the physically thrilling centrepiece of the building itself.

Guests can choose between the apartment with its separate dining room, or for those Upstairs spa bedroom - with views!needing extra space, the other has a second bedroom for families or two couples travelling together.

The two self-contained units took over three years to build. The resulting attention to detail and fully realised aesthetic make 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.

Whichever apartment you choose, the spacious upstairs bedroom with corner spa shares in the harbour views and offers another vantage point to spot dolphins, boats and seaplanes as they come and go.

The upstairs bedrooms have spas with more of the incredible views. Downstairs, kitchen serving-windows open onto sun decks and barbecues are provided. Local timbers are featured, including myrtle, celery top and huon pine.

Air-conditioning, off-street parking, wheelchair access, and continental breakfast are provided.
