Huon Bush Retreats

Caravan park in Ranelagh, Tasmania

Relax, explore and experience nature. Self-contained cabins, deluxe tipis and camping. We offer a peaceful and secluded retreat, where each cabin and tipi sits in its own forest clearing. No crowded hotel lobby here, just you and the native animals. Self-contained studio cabins for a romantic getaway, two-bedroom cabins for a family escape, or deluxe tipis for a glamping experience. Huon Bush Retreats is a multi-award-winning, carbon-positive retreat offering guests a choice of contemporary, self-contained cabins, deluxe tipis and private campsites against an inspiring backdrop of Tasmanian native forest. Each cabin is comfortably equipped with gas cooking facilities, fresh rainwater, solar-powered lights, an eco-friendly composting toilet, a cosy wood heater and a private outdoor bath. Relax by the fire with a glass of local wine, or take in the view from the deck surrounded by native birds and wildlife. A five-kilometre bush walking track network winds through rainforest, to a hidden waterfall or a mountaintop — you will not miss the internet or television here. You will be surrounded by wildlife of all sorts, including birds, mammals, arthropods and reptiles.
