Spent our last night on Tasmania at a tent site at Huon Bush Retreats - and loved every minute of our stay. From the cheeky possums trying to outsmart us in the kitchen shelter to a sunrise walk through the forest up to Flat Rock. And thank you for the extra treat of showing us the 4 month old orphan...

Yes, it is possible to enjoy luxury in the bush! Not if you expect a tv to entertain you, but if you try to escape the daily rat race and rejuvenate in the nature in a first class accommodation. If you are not coming by helicopter and landing on the helipad, you will have to drive up a steep hill,... More

Have just returned from a fantastic stay. The location is wonderful, close to all the Huon valley has to offer.Yet once you turn up their driveway you are in a different world. One where there is no white noise in your ears, one filled with birdsong and wildlife and beautiful flora. The accommodation is situated beautifully. Our cabin had the... More

So glad you enjoyed your visit :) It seems that you were seeking the values that Huon Bush Retreats offers, so you had a great stay. As you noticed, our 4km of winding gravel road is part of what protects our tranquillity and privacy. Yes – The birdlife here is amazing. You just need to sit quietly for a few... More

Unfortunately our stay at H.B.R was only two nights,,, we both wish it was much longer. The environment has been given a very high priority by the owners, subsequently resulting in a simple, peaceful and beautiful retreat experience. We are normally accustomed to more active holidays, but we found the retreat fostered a stillness and a magic that we were... More

Just could not stay in such substandard accommodation and was very disappointed as on the web page it certainly does not let the traveller be aware of the service, and standard of accommodation. For $250 per night this is disgusting and the Tasmanian Tourist Department should be aware of this badly appointed accommodation for this price. Consequenty my husband and... More

Interesting to read such a venomous attack. Interesting on several points: • This reviewer has posted just this one review. They have no information in their profile. • This review was posted within hours of us declining to refund to some guests who had arrived and then changed their mind. One of that party said, “There is nothing wrong with... More

Huon Bush Retreats impresses as a destination of quintessential Tasmanian culture to those who know a bit about Tassie. Not afraid to extend the environmental habits of human beings to be a bit more earth friendly, one gets the sense that you are participating in a project that was born of vision before it was the thing to do.

My partner and I have stayed here twice - December 2009 and December 2011 - camping with our tent in the Car Camp South site. Our experience in 2009 was so good that we jumped at the chance to return this Christmas for another, longer stay. We were attracted originally by the availability of wheelchair accessible bathroom facilities, but the... More

It is always nice when people return to us at Huon Bush Retreats. About 1/3rd of our guests are either repeat or word of mouth referrals. So thank you for your two visits (so far...). Also glad that you found the wheelchair facilities suitable. During the design stage, we struggled with the dilemma of making the site completely wheelchair accessible... More

We headed off from Hobart after a week of work and got exactly what we wanted. A very comfortable modern cabin nestled very privately in the trees. A great potbelly fire that we needed one cold morning and nice walks in the fresh air of the forest.

We felt a little ripped off, after arriving for a nights accommodation. Charged $175 for the night, in September. Normally I ask to view accommodation, before committing, but unfortunately relied on the brochures. No one else booked in any of the cabins that we knew of. Overpriced for this time of the year. Can imagine paying that in peak season!... More
