Description from owner

Description

Moon River is a large, modern, luxurious, 2-bedroom semi-detached villa in the gorgeous Gardners Bay area, close to Cygnet. You’ll find us just 45 minutes south of Hobart, nestled in the Huon Valley.

Our fully-furnished, well-appointed home away from home has 2 spacious bedrooms with a queen-sized bed in the Master and queen-sized bed in the guest room and a large, bright shower bathroom and separate toilet. It is set in three acres of land with panoramic 180-degree views over the bay to Adamsons Peak, the stunning Hartz Mountain range and the surrounding countryside.

Moon River’s private rural location makes it the perfect luxurious retreat for couples. In the summer, relax on the private terrace and take in the spectacular sunsets. Stay cosy on winter nights by snuggling up in front of the roaring log fire.

At all times of the year, you can relax in style, take in the amazing view and catch a glimpse of pademelons, wallabies and possums in the grounds.

LOCATION

You’ll find us just 4km from Cygnet

Amateur fishing equipment is available for guest use.
