Nestled in the serene Huon Valley region of South-east Tasmania, Lucaston is a charming rural locality just 30 minutes south of Hobart and an hour from Hobart Airport. It’s the perfect blend of natural beauty and country living. Lucaston Park Orchards is the heart of the area, renowned for its lush raspberries, cherries, plums, and apples. The scenery is simply picturesque, with roadside stalls offering freshly picked apples and just-pressed apple juice—perfect for a refreshing treat as you explore the countryside. Just a 10-minute drive away, you’ll find the iconic Willie Smith’s Apple Shed—a must-visit converted barn that now serves as a cider house, eatery, and mini apple museum. The rustic restaurant showcases the freshest produce from the Huon Valley and hosts live music every Friday night and a vibrant Artisan Market every Saturday morning. Be sure to indulge in their famous apple pie, signature ciders, and unique apple tea! For everyday conveniences, the nearby townships of Ranelagh and Huonville offer all essential services, including grocery stores, bars, cafes, and restaurants, ensuring you have everything you need while enjoying the tranquility of rural life.

As Lucaston is a rural area, there’s no public transportation nearby, so you’ll need to hire a car for your stay. Please note that part of the road leading to the property is gravel. If you’re not familiar with driving on gravel, take it slow and steady to ensure a safe and smooth journey.

Guests have access to the whole home and its comforts with the exception of a few locked cupboards for the owners storage.
