Moon River Retreat - Panoramic water views

Moon River Retreat is a spacious, luxurious semi-detached 2-bedroom villa just 45 minutes south of Hobart in the stunning Huon Valley, close to the village of Cygnet.

With spectacular, 180-degree views over the beautiful bay and the surrounding hills, Moon River has a sophisticated, relaxing interior, which makes it an ideal get-away for 1 or 2 couples travelling together

Enjoy sitting on the private terrace and watch the yacht regattas, Enjoy a glass of wine and be amazed at the myriad of stars on a clear night, or snuggle up in front of a cosy, log fire in the depth of winter. We cant promise snow, but who knows!

Enjoy a short drive to Peppermint Bay at Woodbridge or the Oyster Bay Inn at Kettering. Numerous cafes and craft shops await.

This is the second time we stayed at Moon River Retreat. The hosts, Mon and Matt, are lovely and the location is really nice. Everything is well set up and there’s a great collection of books about Tasmania to flick through. We highly recommend it.

Moon River Retreat- Gardner's Bay
We'd recommend Moon River Retreat. Our host, Mon, was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the cosy accommodation with log fire and beautiful views. Loved exploring the Huon Valley especially the Tahune Airwalk. Close to the amazing Bruny Island, too. Thank you! Irene & Mark Melbourne

Sublime
This property has all the comforts of home.A well equiped kitchen, top quality beds in the bedrooms and ample comfortable seating in the lounge. The outdoor deck has a bbq, table, chairs and potted fesh herbs to use.The living space has a fireplace for colder nights. The house looks out over the river towards the hills, absolutely stunning. Mon and Matt are gratious hosts, friendly and approachable. We had the most relaxing time. As a bonus we were spoiled with a generous welcome basket filled with Tasmanian products, 2 cheeses, biscuits, fresh strawberries, bottle of cider. I can highly recommend this property.

Stunning Location
Exceptionally well appointed accommodation with everything you could possibly need, immaculately clean and beautifully presented. We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 night stay exploring the lovely Huon Valley - great local wineries, Fat Pig Farm Long Lunch, friendly cafes, pubs and restaurants as well as the nearby Tahune Airwalk. We loved returning to the peace, tranquility and stunning views our accommodation offered after each day of touring. Thank you Mon & Matt for being such wonderful hosts.

Gardners Bay Moon River Retreat rocks!
Beautiful design, tasteful and comfortable furniture and floor plan layout, views to die for. Chauffeur service to and from Fat Pig Farm was an added bonus. Could not fault the experience if we were really trying. Just perfect!

Lovely, peaceful place to stay
Myself and a friend stayed at Moon River for 2 nights and it was a lovely break. Mon was very welcoming and even drove us to and from our lunch at the Fat Pig Farm so we could fully enjoy the day. The cottage contains everything you could need and is truly beautiful.

Peaceful and Relaxing
Wow was our response when we walked into our accommodation.... modern spacious and very homely ... Mon was the perfect host and super helpful. Best part was walking out onto the deck and seeing the amazing view. A perfect spot to relax and unwind. We both lead busy lives and to find this hidden gem just topped off the break we needed. We will be back!

Thank you Mon for making our stay very comfortable and enjoyable. All facilities within the house were great - everything you could think of. A great base to be in, to explore surrounding area. Views every evening on the balcony with a bottle of Tasmania cider were great. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

Beautiful Cygnet property
We had a fantastic stay at Moon River in January - it was a very comfortable home away from home for us. As a host Mon was very accommodating and communication was easy. Spectacular views and a comfortable, well-kitted house. Thoroughly recommend.

Relaxing, scenic and beautiful
We stayed at Moon River for 4 nights and found the property to be clean and well thought out in terms of what one may need during a stay. We loved using the fishing rods, enjoyed the serenity and the sometimes visits (which we encouraged), from the dogs next door! A must for us was good coffee which was also provided which was sipped on the balcony whilst taking in the breathtaking views. Mon the owner, made us feel right at home. A great base for exploring the South and close Hobart. We hope to be back soon :) Sally, Barry& Lachy
