SLOW STAYS

Set amongst paddocks and wooded hills in Tasmania’s Huon Valley, you’ll feel far away from the hustle and bustle of the normal everyday in the beautifully appointed timber-clad cottage. Sleeping up to four people – and with plenty of books, DVDs and board games, its the perfect getaway for those wanting to slow down. Turn off your emails and curl up by the wood fire, watch the fairy wrens dance outside and take in the huge skies and towering eucalyptus trees. Wander outside and pat the goats or toast marshmallows at the fire pit and gaze at the Milky Way overhead at night. All this is less than an hour from Hobart and 10 minutes from the picturesque town of Cygnet.
