About this property

Rural Getaway: Alpacas, Pool, Hot tub, Gym, Tennis

Private resort-style retreat 25 mins from Hobart. Exclusive use of indoor heated pool, hot tub, gym, tennis/pickleball court, BBQ kitchen & wood-fired pizza oven. Up to 8 guests enjoy alpacas, fresh eggs daily, and five acres of bushland near beaches and walking trails. All facilities included for a memorable getaway. For 7–8 guests, a detached converted studio is also included with queen bed, lounge, fridge & tea/coffee facilities. Perfect for group or family getaways.

Southfork is a charming country retreat with a warm, cosy feel, offering three comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms, thoughtfully styled throughout. Guests enjoy complete privacy, with owners living away from the main residence. The property has a shared driveway, separate gate and fencing for privacy. Home to five alpacas and chickens, it’s ideal for animal lovers. Perfect for bushwalking, mountain biking, tennis, surfing or simply relaxing, with trails and outdoor activities nearby. Pets are welcome, so bring your furry family members. For larger groups, the house comfortably sleeps 6 guests, with space for up to 8 guests total when the detached studio is included. The studio is located approx. 10 metres from the main house and features a queen bed, lounge and tea/coffee facilities (no running water or toilet). Guests using the studio share the main house bathrooms.

Guests enjoy exclusive use of all on-site amenities, including the indoor heated pool, hot tub, gym, tennis/pickleball court, wood-fired pizza oven, and outdoor kitchen.

We live on the property and can be contacted anytime.

If you are looking to get away for some much needed rest and relaxation this is it! Explore the trails that surround the property and wander along the shores of Mortimer Bay. There are numerous surf beaches within 5-10 minutes drive.
Enjoy a soak in the hot tub or a swim in the year round heated pool - both are magnesium/mineral treated. Challenge your friends or family to a game of tennis or pickleball on our newly constructed professional grade hard court surface.
Southfork really is your very own exclusive resort and retreat. Go on... spoil yourself!

We are situated approximately 30 minutes from the CBD of Hobart and 20 minutes from Hobart Airport. Southfork is a rural property with limited public transport options and the nearest shop/supermarket is approx 6km`s away. It’s best to have your own vehicle to get around.

While we reside on the property, we are away from the main residence, ensuring you enjoy private access to Southfork and its resort-style amenities.

As we are located in a rural setting, guests may occasionally encounter wildlife such as possums or small rodents in or around the home. Despite regular pest control and cleaning, this is part of the natural environment.

If you experience any issues during your stay, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we will assist promptly
