Surroundings & things to do

Here is but a handful of things you may encounter during a stay in the Huon Valley.

  • Discover fantastic little tucked-away restaurants;
  • Go bush walking, fishing, mountain climbing or simply relax and enjoy the healthy fresh air in a beautiful environment;
  • Visit nearby Cygnet with its vibrant village ambience, iconic restaurants, pubs, and cafes;
  • Sample the seasonal fresh fruits in sweet abundance: cherries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches and apples;
  • Watch the yachts and beautiful wooden boats at Port Cygnet that was once a busy port servicing the apple industry, but is now just an ideal place to mess about in boats;
  • Visit beautiful Bruny Island, accessed by car ferry that is only a 20minute drive away;
  • Visit the local wineries of Panorama and Hartzview;
  • Immerse yourself in the skills of a bygone era at the Franklin Wooden Boat Centre; and
  • Do the antique shops full of Tasmanian history.
