In an extensive private nature reserve just 50 minutes drive south of Hobart. Accommodation includes self-contained Studio and two bedroom cabins, tipees and campground



Vistas of old apple orchards and pasture give way to swaths of protected native forest. Glimpses of deep gullies and wild mountain landscapes flash past as the sun shoots through the trees. This is the Mount Misery Habitat Reserve, a large private nature reserve in the hills of the Huon Valley. At its heart is Huon Bush Retreats.

Situated in the spectacular Huon Valley just 50km from Hobart Huon Bush Retreats is a true retreat. Your privacy is guaranteed by over 3km of winding gravel road.
Drive slowly as you ascend the road into this very-private hideaway. Pademelons, possums, quolls and even the giant Wedge Tailed Eagle, are known to frequent the road. In fact, nature is all around you: from the towering old-growth forests, moss-clad rainforest streams and abundant bird life, to the stunning panorama of radiant wattle blossom in spring. Try an invigorating bushwalk through giant majestic eucalyptus regnans, the largest flowering trees on earth or contemplate the gentle pace of existence by a hidden waterfall.
