All main rooms have wonderful views of the Derwent River and Mount Direction. It has a large riverside garden dominated by an ancient bhutan cyprus hedge and a very old elm planted by Lady Franklin.
The property is bordered to the east by water and by parks on the west side of Harbinger Lane. The local Yacht club and launching ramp are close by and shops and public transport on the old main road are both a short walk away and easily accessed by vehicle.
Derwent Vista is an ideal base for business or pleasure as it is close to major businesses and tourist attractions and the Brooker highway which is the main route to Tasmania's west and north from Hobart. To get to the property you actually drive past the corner of historic James Austin Park where the first ferry in Tasmania and second oldest building in Tasmania are located.
On or adjacent to the property is swimming in the Derwent, boating or just walking in the parks. Within two km are golf and bowls clubs. If you bring a bike you can use it! The Derwent provides opportunities for white water canoeing or jetboating further upstream at the historic town of New Norfolk or enjoy a more relaxing time playing golf or bowling at local clubs.
Tasmania is endowed with every activity possible from jetboating to skiing, from mountain climbing to some of the best walking in the world. Snorkelling or surfing, fishing or just snoozing on a beach are all within an hour or so of Derwent Retreat. For those who like dining, nightclubing or gambling, Hobart and Salamanca are just a 15 minute drive away and Australia's first licensed casino, Wrest Point is just a 20 minute drive away.
Salamanca market is a must on Saturday and Moorilla winery is very close to spend the afternoon listening to jazz and tasting their wares. Book a tour of the Cadbury chocolate factory and indulge in chocolates, visit Alpenrail, Moorilla or Bonorong Wildlife park. All are within easy reach of Derwent retreat.
