The Doctor‘s - Luxury lakefront container chalet

Imagine waking up to this view – rising sun glistening on the water, surrounded by eucalypts with the sound of waves and currawongs. Step out on to the sundrenched deck, maybe take a refreshing morning swim off your own private jetty – bliss.

The Doctor’s is a magical place to escape to and forget about your busy life for a while. It is just what the Doctor ordered – the perfect tonic to relax, reboot and reset.

The Doctor's is more than just a stay. This adults-only retreat is a wonderful experience, where you want to spend the days lazing on the deck or the mezzanine just marveling at the views moving with the sun and the elements. Each time you look out the window over the lake there is an ever-changing landscape that embeds itself into your mind.

The perfect getaway to fall in love with. Ever thought of popping that question to that certain someone? This jewel in a perfect setting creates memories that will last a lifetime.

Experience the serenity of the lake, feel the movement of water as you paddle the shores to discover the amazing natural surrounds.

Within a stones-throw of the water, this stunning adults-only retreat has everything you'd want in a home away from home. The place is welcoming, warm and filled with light.

There are lots of living spaces in- and outdoors and two queen bedrooms with spectacular water views. Cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen - you'll find everything for the hobby chef to shine, including a basic pantry. The bathroom with its walk-in shower is a delight. And the cosy mezzanine floor offers amazing views over the lakes whilst the wood heater is a great place to curl up in front of on a rainy day.

Grab one of the many books or entertain yourselves with board games, listen to music or simply just watch the beauty of the outside.

This house is as much about its beautifully unique architecture and cosy feel as it is about the outdoors. The large deck, private jetty, outdoor fire-pit and extensive lawn are great areas for play and relaxation. No matter what the weather throws at you, there is plenty to do.

Situated between Lake Sorell and Lake Crescent, there are several boat ramps in the area and trout fishers will love it. The Interlaken Lakeside Reserve, literally across the road from The Doctor's, is listed as a Ramsar wetlands site and a paradise for bird watchers.

And why not take one of our kayaks out and explore the shoreline of Lake Sorell? There is an abundance of wildlife in the area and you will regularly see wallabies, possums, wombats, echidnas, eagles and occasionally Tasmanian devils.
