We had a wonderful stay at Crabtree Cottages. The area is absolutely beautiful and tranquil. We would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in a beautiful, quiet location. The home was beautifully presented and the view of the babbling brook from the deck was gorgeous!

The cabin is beautifully appointed and comfortable. The location is just serene. The river is peaceful and we did manage to see a platypus. Location wise is great base for the Huon valley.
We loved our stay and would love to return

Loved the sound of the river running right next to the cottage. Loved the dorma windows and how the sun filled the rooms in the afternoon. Unfortunately the gas ran out and we weren't able to have a shower one morning but thankfully the host attended to the issue quickly. A well appointed cottage outside of the hustle and bustle of Hobart.

It was lovely and peaceful .............................................
Amazing place to stay and the host was very helpful before and during our visit. There isn’t much in the area open past 8pm so bear that in mind. Great place to relax!
We were so happy to stay at this gorgeous cottage. Perfect spot to relax & recharge our batteries. Loved the woodheater, the spa bath, the extra little touches, the chockies, the port, the breakfast, the river running by & the friendliness of the owner to name a few of it’s attractions
