Locality

Derwent Vista is set in a historic area with many old buildings including Austins Cottage, probably build around 1810.

The Derwent provides opportunities for white water canoeing or jetboating further upstream at the historic town of New Norfolk or enjoy a more relaxing time playing golf or bowling at local clubs.

Tasmania is endowed with every activity possible from jetboating to skiing, from mountain climbing to some of the best walking in the world. Snorkelling or surfing, fishing or just snoozing on a beach are all within an hour or so of Derwent Retreat. For those who like dining, nightclubing or gambling, Hobart’s inner suburbs of North Hobart and Salamanca are just a 15 minute drive away and Australia’s first licensed casino, Wrest Point is just a 20 minute drive away.

Salamanca market is a must on Saturday and Moorilla winery is very close to spend the afternoon listening to jazz and tasting their wares. Book a tour of the Cadbury chocolate factory and indulge in chocolates, visit Alpenrail. All are within easy reach of Derwent Vista
