It features a queen bedroom, ensuite bathroom with spa bath, its own fully equipped kitchen, dining area and comfortable lounge.



Step outside onto the private deck and enjoy your morning coffee while taking in the peaceful bush surrounds and views towards the Derwent River.



Having two separate living areas makes Treetops Retreat particularly well suited to extended families or groups, allowing everyone to holiday together while still having their own space.



Guest access

Parking is available on site for up to two vehicles, with access via a shared driveway.



The neighbourhood



Treetops Retreat is tucked away amongst the trees in peaceful Taroona, offering a wonderfully quiet setting while remaining within easy reach of Hobart.



Keep an eye out for Tasmania's native birds and wildlife around the property, or take a stroll down to beautiful Taroona Beach.



Hobart CBD, Salamanca, the waterfront, restaurants and major attractions are all within an easy drive, making this a great base for exploring southern Tasmania.



Guest Access:

Guests have exclusive access to the entire house, including all five bedrooms, three bathrooms, the kitchen, dining room, laundry room, and outdoor patio areas. Enjoy the garden and sea views from the comfort of your private space.



The Neighborhood:

The home is located in peaceful Taroona, a leafy riverside suburb just south of Hobart. Surrounded by native bushland, you'll enjoy a wonderful sense of escape while still being within easy reach of Hobart's restaurants, shopping, waterfront and many of southern Tasmania's most popular attractions.



Take a stroll down to Taroona Beach and the beautiful foreshore, where you can enjoy swimming, coastal walks, playground and BBQ facilities while taking in views across the Derwent River. The Taroona Foreshore Track winds along the coastline through native bushland and connects Taroona and Hinsby beaches.



Nearby you'll also find the historic Shot Tower, one of Taroona's best-known landmarks. Climb to the top for wonderful views across the Derwent River and surrounding coastline, then stop for a coffee or something sweet at the tearoom.
