休恩布什靜養酒店(Huon Bush Retreats)

The best thing is nature. Gorgeous walks with plenty of pademelons. Quiet. If you don't have a car it is a problem. It is around 12 or more km from the bus stop to Hobart. The shower was cold. I found it expensive, but worth the experience.

Absolutely brilliant. The most peaceful place to stay with nature and wildlife right there on the doorstep. This is not a 5 star hotel with room service and in-house movies, this is a place to reconnect with your loved ones and the environment. No TV makes you talk to each other without any distractions. My wife and I laughed about how long it had been since we sat down and ate together with no background noise. We absolutely loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone that likes the simple things in life. Well worth the money!

Kitchen amenities did not work well and utensils were diety. Several lizards were living in the bed of our accommodation.

Being country people, who have enjoyed camping holidays all our lives, the description provided by Huon Bush Retreat of their property and facilities resonated with us. But….. all is not as described. Great location but not value for money. The cabin was approximately $380pn and the shower was cold. (Another guest told us her shower was cold, also.) Polite phone and text requests to address this were ignored. Be aware there are no power points, only two usb charging points. The composting toilet, while conforming to the eco ethos of the place, would be better built into a separate room, perhaps on the verandah, rather than integrated into bathroom area. It had a pervasive, cloying smell. When we saw campsites set out on steep slopes that would have been hopeless for putting up a tent, we were glad our plans to camp there had changed. The walks were beautiful, but no more so than many national parks offer. The only native animals we encountered were half tame ones around our cabin that had been fed by the owner. This gave one an impression of being immersed in the bush, but the only ones we saw were around the camping area - quite the opposite of what one would expect of wild animals. In fact we saw more wildlife walking in the bush on top of Mt Nelson, Hobart. There had obviously been a safety system in place at some time, whereby walks had to be registered at the start of the walk. this had been let lapse, as there was no paper in the folder where we could register our names etc to show that we were somewhere in the bush. Overall, lack of transparency about things like cold showers and being expected to thoroughly clean the place; ‘every ten minutes the cleaner spends cleaning your cabin, you will be charged $20 left us feeling ripped off and glad to get away.

Could not complain, I loved the beautiful outside bath.... up a scenic bush track. Play ground for my 3 year old and the community kitchen was the best!!! My 3 year old toasted marshmallow with her new friends while us parents cooked dinner and enjoyed a wine... than we went back to our tee-pee with heaps of wood and snuggled up in the double bed until we woke too the sunrise. Absolute magic!!!! Owners were also welcoming and helpful.

Enjoyed the campgrounds, facilities were all nice, outdoor bath under the stars was a real treat. The cabins looked amazing, maybe we'll stau in one of those next trip. Bush and rainforest walks are great. The owners are very friendly and helpful. The last section of the road up is very steep. My 2WD Sprinter van msde it up there ok. 🙂

This is my favourite place to go for a little escape from the world for a few days. The campsites are private. The toilets, showers, bushwalks, and camp kitchen are well maintained, there’s a sheltered social fire pit and an outdoor bath, there’s hammocks too! And only 40 minutes from Hobart. Not to mention the lyre bird calls I got to enjoy whilst sitting by my own little camp fire last night! Absolute bliss.

Best trip and stay of our life. Thank you for making it so memorable. Perfect place to stay with amazing ambience… true flavour of organic nature and habitat. Extremely courteous and hospitable staff. Always there to help and assist. 5/5 Stars.

Peaceful, private campsites with a big camp kitchen with everything you might need! Lovely informative walks great for all ages and fitness levels. Bathrooms are clean but no door for the shower, only a curtain. Nice stay either way 👍
