A peaceful river at sunrise with sailboats docked, surrounded by hills and trees, and a calm body of water reflecting the scene.

Welcome

The Bowmont is a mellow country house in the scenic village of Franklin — a generous two-bedroom apartment on the banks of the Huon River, ideal for discerning couples travelling together or those seeking a spacious getaway for two.

Mornings here are for brewing coffee in the cosy kitchen then curling up on the window seat to watch the mist lift slowly from the river below. The apartment is personal, lived-in, and not quite perfect. Dress down, pour yourself a drink and make yourself at home.

“A truly exceptional place to stay. It is incredibly rare to stay somewhere so carefully and thoroughly curated.”

  • Two generous bedrooms - one king bed and one queen bed.

    Please Note: Our standard listed rate is for two guests sharing the same bedroom.

    If you are two guests wishing to use both bedrooms, there is an additional $50 per night charge. Please book for 3 guests to ensure this process is completed correctly. We can accommodate a total of 4 guests at The Bowmont.

  • The kitchen is equipped for simple self-catering, featuring a plug-in induction plate, a small fridge, toaster, and all the necessary essentials. You’ll find local tips in the house manual for where to shop, or better yet, where to eat out.

  • One glorious bathroom complete with a walk-in shower, underfloor heating, and a huge tub.

  • Self-check-in details are provided before arrival.

    We have off-street parking for two cars. There’s no outdoor space for guests, but on your doorstep is the expansive Huon River waterfront. There are picnic spots, walking tracks, and places to sit and ponder aplenty, so get out into it.

    Your hosts live on the ground floor at the rear of the large building and are available if you need them, but as a rule, they will leave you to enjoy your own company.

  • Ducted air-conditioning and underfloor heating in the bathroom

  • Parking is available for two cars. Sing out if you have more than two cars and we can sort you out.

  • Cancellation Policy

    Full payment is required at the time of booking to secure your stay.

    Cancellations made more than 5 days prior to arrival will receive a 50% refund of the total booking amount. Cancellations within 5 days of arrival are non-refundable.

    As The Bowmont is a small independently run stay, late cancellations can be difficult to refill, and we appreciate your understanding.

  • The apartment occupies the upper floor of a heritage building and is reached by two flights of stairs. There is no lift.
