Enjoy an extensive private habitat reserve, only 50 minutes south of Hobart, in beautiful Tasmania country. We offer everything from viewing wildlife without cages to 5km bushwalking tracks to a rainforest, waterfall, and mountaintop. Our studio cabins are self-contained, separate, and private. We also offer tent sites, and campervan sites, complete with composting toilets, along with private tipis. Perfect for a stand-alone visit, or as part of a road trip, we have everything you need for a memorable stay.

Hillside retreat
Tent · With kids ·
This was a lovely spot on the hill with reasonable privacy from other campers. Check in was easy with directions to your site easily collected at the reception building. Road up is steep and narrow. Normally there would be hot showers and option for bath (paid extra) but they had lost all their water supply the day before we arrived. Was a shame for us.

Beware Dangerous Driveway In
Dangerous driveway Beware and not true photos of sites. The steep rd and and extremely steep driveway in was a very traumatic experience. It doesn’t say in the About (blurb) description thats written up, but is mentioned once you book to drive up In 1st gear and use 4wd if you have it and also don’t stop. I hate to think what happens if you meet someone driving out. I arrived very stressed out and traumatised from the drive up to the property. I had booked site 2 car accessible (the one opposite the kitchen, apparently) which by the way looks absolutely nothing like the photos). When I got to my campsite it was very small and lumpy, not level and it was also exposed to the camp kitchen (not private) I knew we would not be in any way comfortable so I went back to the office in tears and said to Michael I didn’t think we were the right fit for the place, as the drive in and out was too stressful and the site was uneven and lumpy and I wouldn’t be able to sleep. He offered me a refund. (In hind sight I think he offered this just get rid of me as the refund never arrived back in my bank account! ) I also messaged Michael to see if he had given the refund and he never replied to my message.

Amazing location and total privacy
This is the best site, so close to ammenities but far enough away for complete privacy. On a side note be prepared for furry visitors and keep food and cooking stuff packed away. Pademelons were friendly but the possums a little aggressive. If you pack everything away they soon move on. Highly recommend Old Growth Forest Walk, beautiful.

This was my second time staying at Huon Bush Retreats. It's still one of the most magical campgrounds I've stayed at. Very quiet, great facilities, plenty of privacy. I will definitely be back again.
