Sunny Hills Country Retreat - peaceful picturesque | House in Glen Huon

Perfectly located in Tasmania's Huon Valley, Sunny Hills Country Retreat is a perfect base for enjoying the culinary delights and natural attraction of the Huon Valley Region. All year round enjoyment can be had snuggled into the lounge in front of the wood-heater or enjoying a wine and a chat around the outdoor fire-pit. Wander the beautiful gardens or just enjoy the sheep meandering across the hillside. Or enjoy our socking in the bath in our Tasmanian made natural bath salts. Equally as peaceful and picturesque you will feel a million miles from any where whilst in reality being only 30 mins from Hobart and only 10mins to the village of Huonville. The Huon valley is a beacon of natural produce where the apples have become cider, and fine wine pours from its vineyards, and fresh produce can be easily found at roadside stalls and valley eateries. Add to the mix the Huon Valley’s natural assets and you have a compelling combination – the peaks of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area run along the valley’s western edge, while the namesake Huon River winds gently through before pouring into the D’Entrecasteaux Channel. On your way from Hobart you must call into Willie Smith's Apple Shed and grab some locally made apple cider to enjoy by the inside wood heater or down at the outdoor fire pit. Pulling up to the house under cover parking is provided. Then walk down the steps around to the front door. Upon entering the house you will be greeted by the lovely pink blush of the first living area which then opens to the dining area and kitchen. The kitchen is the perfect hub for preparing food with modern appliances and a walk in pantry. Off the second living is the main living area complete with the woodheater and the most plush lounge where you can sit back and take in the view of the surrounding hills, watch TV or just be mesmorised by the flickering flames of the fire. Through the lounge is the master suite with king size bed and private ensuite and walk in robe. At the other end of the house you will find three bedrooms each with a queensize bed. The main bathroom is also located at this end of the house. The bath is deep and inviting and the bath salts are just devine. Seperate laundry facilities are available including a seperate washer and dryer. The outdoor dining table is perfect for enjoying meal in the freshest air your will ever breathe whilst having your breath taken away my the changing hues of the surrounding hills, valleys and mountains. A stay at Sunny Hills Country Retreat will leave your relax and restored. Sunny Hills Country Retreat is located 30 minutes north-east of Hobart CBD in the beautiful Huon Valley region.

I am not always unable to personally check the house before your arrival. I am heavily reliant on my housekeeper and I need to know as soon as possible if you and therefore I have been let down in any way by the presentation of Sunny Hills Country Retreat With a reputation founded on food, this region remains an enticing one for gourmands. At Fat Pig Farm, Gourmet Farmer Matthew Evans and Sadie Chrestman take what’s great from the garden and paddocks of their Huon Valley farm and turn it into long lunches, with guided walks around the farm between courses. Filling a former apple canning factory in Cygnet, the Port Cygnet Cannery delivers a menu filled with produce from its own farm at nearby Gardners Bay. Cook up your own storm at a class at the Farmhouse Kitchen, with options ranging from traditional pasta masterclasses to winter warmers and tiramisu. The Huon Valley’s apple heritage lives on, in liquid form, across a range of cideries. Get to the core at Willie Smith’s Apple Shed (also home to the Charles Oates Distillery, producing fine apple spirits), Frank’s Cider House and Pagan Cider. Winery cellar doors in the region include Home Hill Winery, Kate Hill Wines and Mewstone Wines, which opened in late 2021 with a lofty outlook across the D’Entrecasteaux Channel and Bruny Island. Head to Dover to find Bakehouse Distillery, making the world’s first sassafras spirit. The Huon Valley celebrates life in fine style. A Taste of the Huon is a festival, held in March, framed around the area’s food, wine and arts and crafts. The Huon Valley Mid-Winter Fest, held in July, embraces the southern winter – wassail at the apple trees, banging pots and pans to scare off evil spirits and awakening the trees with song, and listen to a host of music talent. Go as far south as you can get on the walk to South Cape Bay, where the Southern Ocean thunders ashore and Australia’s southernmost point – South East Cape – is almost in reach. The walk (4hr return, 15.4km) forms the eastern end of the week-long South Coast Track. Scale one of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area’s most accessible mountains on the walk (3-5hr return, 7.4km) to the summit of Hartz Peak, or head to different heights on Tahune Airwalk. This 600m canopy walk hovers high above the forest floor, with a cantilevered platform hanging 50m above the Huon River. Discover the rich beauty beneath the earth on a guided ranger tour through Newdegate Cave, Australia’s largest dolomite tourist cave. The temperature inside the cave, which is naturally furnished with an array of stalactites and stalagmites, is a constant nine degrees. Warm up in the 28-degree waters of the reserve’s mineral-rich thermal pool, or follow the 10min walk behind the pool for a chance to spot an elusive platypus. Take a 45min tour through the workshop of this centre that preserves the ancient art of handcrafting timber boats. Inspired by what you see? The centre, which sits on the bank of the Huon River in Franklin, is the only school in Australia teaching traditional wooden-boat construction. It runs a series of boat-building courses that run as short as five days, making timber oars and spars or a skin-on-frame kayak. Please read and respect the house rules.
