What Is the Tahune Airwalk and Is It Worth Visiting in 2026
The Tahune AirWalk is a 600-metre steel canopy walkway in southern Tasmania's Huon Valley, and yes, it's absolutely worth visiting for the 50-metre cantilever over the Huon River. If you combine it with Hastings Caves and a riverside stay, it becomes one of the smartest day trips you can do in the south. I've walked it plenty of times, and the verdict hasn't changed. The AirWalk works because it gives you a forest experience without asking you to be a bushwalker, then finishes with a river view that feels properly dramatic rather than mildly scenic. If you're deciding whether to drive out from Hobart, or whether to build a Huon…

Self Catering Holiday Homes in Tasmania: A Smart Guide
You've got the car packed, the kids are arguing over who gets the window seat, and you're already thinking about whether the place you booked will have enough pantry space for breakfast, wine, and the leftovers you're bringing from home. That's the true test of self catering holiday homes, not glossy photos or a pretty view. In the Huon Valley, the right house makes the trip easier, calmer, and a lot more enjoyable. For a family, a couple, or a group of friends, a self-catering stay means one thing above all, control. You cook when you want, you eat what you want, and you're not built around someone else's timetable.…

Cider Houses in Huon Valley: A Local’s Guide to Tastings
You can tell when the Huon Valley is in its sweet spot. The river sits low and calm, the orchards look heavy, and by late afternoon the better cider houses are filling up with people who've already had a proper lunch and don't need convincing that apple country is worth the drive. If you're staying at Riverfront Estate, this is the easiest kind of day out to do well, because the cider circuit is close, compact, and tied to the valley's real farming base, not a tourist gimmick.

Riversdale Estate Cottages: Your Huon Valley Guide
You've booked a stay at Riversdale Estate Cottages and now you're doing the sensible thing, working out what sort of trip you've bought. If you want a polished hotel room, this isn't it.

Markets in the Huon Valley: A Local’s 2026 Guide
You can roll into the Huon Valley on a Friday night thinking you've missed the action if the “main market” isn't on. That's not how this place works. The valley runs on a staggered market rhythm, with weekly, fortnightly, monthly, and seasonal markets spread across small towns, so a good weekend is usually about timing, not luck. For visitors, that changes the whole trip. A self-contained base in Huonville lets you catch more than one market, eat well, and still have room for a river walk, a winery stop, or a long lunch. The markets in the Huon Valley aren't a single event you tick off. They're a circuit, and…
