Stay in the Huon Valley & Channel Region
The Huon Valley and D'Entrecasteaux Channel area is one of Southern Tasmania's most rewarding regions to explore — famous for its apple orchards, cider houses, artisan food producers, and stunning natural beauty. The Cottage at Flowerpot puts you right in the middle of it all, on a private working farm overlooking the Channel.
With Cygnet just 15 minutes away, Woodbridge five minutes down the road, and the Bruny Island ferry at Kettering a 10-minute drive, you'll never run out of things to see and do. But with a cottage this comfortable — four bedrooms, central heating, sauna, and outdoor bath — you might not want to leave.

Flowerpot: Tasmania's Hidden Gem
Flowerpot is a tiny rural hamlet that most visitors to Tasmania never discover. That's precisely its appeal. Nestled between farmland and the Channel, it offers the kind of peace and beauty that's becoming increasingly rare — without being remote or inconvenient.
Hobart is just 40 minutes to the north, making it easy to combine a city day with the tranquillity of the Huon Valley. Most guests find they spend far more time exploring the local area than they planned — there's always another cellar door, another waterfall, another stunning viewpoint to discover.
