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.

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

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.

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!
