Being country people, who have enjoyed camping holidays all our lives, the description provided by Huon Bush Retreat of their property and facilities resonated with us. But….. all is not as described. Great location but not value for money. The cabin was approximately $380pn and the shower was cold. (Another guest told us her shower was cold, also.) Polite phone and text requests to address this were ignored. Be aware there are no power points, only two usb charging points. The composting toilet, while conforming to the eco ethos of the place, would be better built into a separate room, perhaps on the verandah, rather than integrated into bathroom area. It had a pervasive, cloying smell. When we saw campsites set out on steep slopes that would have been hopeless for putting up a tent, we were glad our plans to camp there had changed. The walks were beautiful, but no more so than many national parks offer. The only native animals we encountered were half tame ones around our cabin that had been fed by the owner. This gave one an impression of being immersed in the bush, but the only ones we saw were around the camping area - quite the opposite of what one would expect of wild animals. In fact we saw more wildlife walking in the bush on top of Mt Nelson, Hobart. There had obviously been a safety system in place at some time, whereby walks had to be registered at the start of the walk. this had been let lapse, as there was no paper in the folder where we could register our names etc to show that we were somewhere in the bush. Overall, lack of transparency about things like cold showers and being expected to thoroughly clean the place; ‘every ten minutes the cleaner spends cleaning your cabin, you will be charged $20 left us feeling ripped off and glad to get away.

We absolutely loved this B&B what beautiful accommodation. Our room was magnificent it had a balcony with the most breathtaking views across to Bruny Island and a magnificent bathroom and a beautiful big deep bathtub. The wildlife came out and we loved watching them going about their routine oblivious to us. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful and the setting was perfect. Our host Leonie and husband Tim thank you for making our stay memorable. We have made a winter reservation so we can’t wait to to see you again.

Very perfect living experience, only 15 minutes drive from Hobart city, but you can get an unparalleled experience, it is great, I will stay again next time. It is suitable for children and the hotel service is very considerate. We booked the villa suite with a double sofa bed. It is very comfortable to stay with two children. The hotel also provided two additional children's breakfast. Elegant environment with Chinese service. The only drawback is the two black spiders found on the room curtains, but the old house is inevitable

Great location in bush setting. All informatiin sent in email before stay was helpful, so access was easy. Self contained cabin,with all you need, included. Great for short, or longer stays. Not far from city centre

I can be very verbose at times; but please do yourself a favour this is by far the best experience we have had on our 7th trip to Tasmania . On arrival our host Annie greeted us and showed us to our chalet which she had warmed and supplied us with milk, bottles of water, scuffs, chocolates on the pillows and the cleanest chalet EVER ! You have both your own bbq and cooking supplies with basic needs supplied and I haven’t even begun with the serenity yet ! You are in the middle of nowhere with only the chirping of birds to accompany you . Hubby and I will never forget this stay and would like to thank Annie and Guy for their hard work supplying such paradise !
