Riverfront Estate

You'll find Lost Captain Restaurant and Taphouse along the banks of the peaceful Huon River. Lost Captain breathes life into the stunning heritage builidng that was once the Huon Manor. In Winter, think toasty log fires, mulled local cider and heated outdoor spaces. In Summer, think ice cold Tassie beers on tap and outdoor dining in a stunning garden by the Huon River with plenty of space for young familes. Partnering with small farms, wine, beer and spirit producers in the Huon Valley, a visit to Lost Captain is the true taste of The Huon.

The Huon Valley Studio Art Trail runs over two or three days after Hobart Show holiday in October each year. We provide an opportunity for practising artists and makers (including vignerons, distillers and cider makers) to showcase their creative processes, engage new audiences, and to discuss and sell their work and wares. The event organisers seek not just to raise the profile of the creative sector within the Huon Valley and Far South, but to share a valley-wide cultural experience.

Experience the fun of riding gentle rapids contrasted with the reflections of Huon pine saplings in still water on a 35-minute scenic jet boat ride. Life jackets are supplied, but bring a sweater and your camera. At least one person, and at most 24 for a ride. Group and family rates are available.
