Crabtree House
With its combination of the luxurious comforts of the modern day and its nineteenth-century charm, this self-contained holiday home, about half an hour’s drive from Hobart, is a four-star luxury for couples or families with older children.
The two options at Crabtree House are The Heritage Apartments and The Loft Apartment, the latter with an age restriction of over 13, and both may be booked together as one. Heritage has a queen bed, while Loft has two – a queen and a king, with a two-way bathroom connecting the bedrooms.
In addition to central heating, top-quality bedding, free wireless internet, a television with a DVD player, a stereo, radio and collection of CDs, an iron, an ironing board, a hair dryer and both kitchen and dining facilities, there is also a barbecue set which guests are free to make use of on the large deck area with seating for six in The Loft, or on the veranda at The Heritage Apartment.
Both of the places you can stay at are exceptionally high standard. Heritage is for adults only and, in addition to having electric blankets on the bed, includes a lovely real fire you can warm yourself up in front of. Kitchen facilities include a convection microwave, a hotplate, a fridge and an electric frying pan. Whichever you go for, there are breakfast provisions such as local apple juice, coffee, tea and fresh bread, plus you have some port and chocolates. If you would like a good cooked breakfast with bacon and eggs, this is available for a surcharge.
Under ten minutes from Crabtree House there are restaurants and some of the Huon Valley’s wineries. The neighbouring mountain is known as Sleeping Beauty and guests will confirm that, once you see it, you’ll realise why. Also nearby are the Huon Apple and Heritage Museum, Hidden Falls (about twenty minutes by car), and the whole place is just three quarters of an hour from HBA Hobart International Airport.
Situated in a rural location, this cottage is within 3 mi (5 km) of Willie Smith’s Apple Shed, The Huon Apple and Heritage Museum, and Sherwood Hill Conservation Area. Home Hill Winery and Russell Ridge Conservation Area are also within 6 mi (10 km).
Along with a rooftop terrace, this smoke-free cottage has concierge services and tour/ticket assistance. Free continental breakfast, free WiFi in public areas, and free self parking are also provided. Additionally, a garden, barbecue grills, and a picnic area are onsite.
All 6 accommodations have plasma TVs with DVD players and feature kitchenettes with refrigerators, stovetops, and microwaves. Other amenities available to guests include free WiFi, balconies, and premium bedding. Limited housekeeping is available.
Very warm and cosy. Lovely calm atmosphere we loved it. Great hosts.
Thank you for taking us in on such short notice! This was the perfect place to escape the windy weather and relax. We loved the fire especially. Beautiful house and area, we have very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Garry & Anna.
