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

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.
