Willie Smith's Apple Shed

Crabtree River Cottages are located on the banks of the Crabtree River in the beautiful Huon Valley at Grove, just a 25-minute drive from Hobart and a seven-minute drive to the centre of Huonville. The property sits on the banks of the Crabtree River and overlooks ‘Sleeping Beauty’ mountain. We offer two private and comfortable federation-style self-contained cottages named Emily and Eliza. Both cottages have a kitchenette, very high vaulted ceilings, en-suite with two-person spa plus separate shower, romantic bedroom, large decks with barbecue and verandahs overlooking Crabtree River. The river is an active playground for platypus and trout, and the pastures beyond are home to wallabies and the odd Tasmanian devil. Relax by the wood heater in winter or watch the river roll by whilst relaxing on the deck during summer. Crabtree River Cottages provides an ideal base to stay whilst in the Huon Valley with its many wineries and tourist attractions. Tahune Air Walk, Cockle Creek, Hastings Caves and the Willie Smith's Apple shed are all on your doorstep.

Surrounded by orchards, farms and just minutes from shops and services, DashWu Steading is a spacious 120m2 luxury accommodation and private courtyard for two adults in the Huon Valley, Tasmania. From the open plan living and dining enhanced by works of local artists, step into the north-facing courtyard to soak up the sun, enjoy a glass of local wine or relax in the evening twilight. The king-size bed ensures peaceful rest after exploring wilderness adventures in the pristine south, gourmet food, wine or boating experiences at nearby villages such as Franklin, Cygnet, Geeveston and Woodbridge. For those who absolutely have to work, there is a desk and free WiFi. The bathroom/laundry facilities include a combo washer/dryer. The fully-equipped kitchen includes a stovetop, oven, microwave, full fridge, dishwasher and all the utensils and equipment needed if you choose to cook in. DashWu Steading has universal electric vehicle charging so you will be powered up each day to visit restaurants, wineries, cider houses, bakeries and artisan studios or to venture a little further afield to Southport, Dover, Hastings Caves, Tahune Airwalk, Cockle Creek, Bruny Island and the D’Entrecasteaux Channel. An ideal base, DashWu Steading offers a sanctuary to call home during your stay.

Valley Campground is in the Huon valley situated on the Crabtree Rivulet just 25 minutes drive south of Hobart. Campsites are comprised of varying sized private alcoves bordered by native shrubs. Tasmanian wildlife is in abundance including a platypus in the river, resident echidna, quolls, bandicoots, wallabies and padymelons. Wedge-tailed eagles often fly down the valley, goshawks, sulphur-crested black cockatoos, Tasmanian thornbills, fairy-wrens, pardalotes and many more small birds frequent the surrounding forest. Valley Campground is the perfect stepping stone for visitors exploring the pristine Tasmanian south. Whilst suited to self contained campers and motor homes with powered sites available, there are also unpowered sites for cycling travellers and those in tents. Imagine istening to the river run by, cuddled up by a fire pot under a star filled sky planning the next days' adventure in beautiful Southern Tasmania!
