Rod and Fly Tasmania

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.

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!
