Protected and peaceful creek-side camping, directly across the road from the stunning ocean beach. Explore the rock pools, stroll the pristine beach or walk to the top of the property for incredible panoramic views across to the Tasman Peninsula. In summer, graze on fresh berries and orchard fruits. Excellent value and location for families and groups holidaying together.

Mountain River is a rural valley under the kunanyi/Wellington Range, in the Huon Valley, just half an hour from Hobart. Mountain River itself is a small river flowing from the back of kunanyi and joining the Huon River near Huonville. There are swimming holes in the river for the brave… it’s very cold!
Campsites are located on the riverbank, near the home or further afield.
Caravans and large Motorhomes cannot be accommodated. Rental vans - Apollo /Maui etc, are fine.
This is a great base for exploring the entire Huon area, from the nearby mountains to the Hartz Mountains, Hastings Caves, the Tahune AirWalk, and even the end of the road in Australia at Cockle Creek. All of these are possible as day trips.

60 acres surrounded by bush and mountains, with a creek running through where happy duckies quack. At night you might spot possums, quolls, pademelons, wombats, and echidnas, while by day the property comes alive with an array of birdlife.
Only 25 minutes to New Norfolk and an hour to Hobart—yet you’ll feel a million miles away from civilization.

A beautiful, peaceful spot. Kath and Alex were super welcoming and really easygoing. They even encouraged us to wander through their apple orchard and pick what we liked, which was such a nice touch.
We loved the walk across the property to the beach and another one out the back where there was another lovely view. The whole place felt really private and relaxing.
We’d definitely stay again - highly recommend!

Kathryn and Alex have a beautiful property. The camp sites are nicely tucked into lush green private nooks. We enjoyed the little forest-y trails along the stream to the beach directly opposite their place. Kathryn was a delight to talk to, and even gifted us a jar of her jam and some nashi pears.

This was our first ever Hipcamp stay and it was the perfect experience. The property is absolutely stunning. The camp site was very flat with lovely green grass and surrounds, a creek, a swing, a large picnic table, fire pit and dog friendly. Kathryn is a gorgeous human - so kind, warm and friendly. She told us everything we needed to know, provided fire wood with fire lighters and matches, as well as delivered a warm jar of homemade jam that made Sunday breakfast extra special. We didn’t want to leave and my boys are already asking when we can go back. Thank you so much for having us Kathryn and Alex and for sharing your little piece of paradise with us.

Kath and Alex have created a truly wonderful site. We loved our 2 night camp. Super peaceful and private, we fell asleep to the sound of the waves across the road. Enough room for the dog and toddler to have a good play and we loved walking through and picking the last of the berries! Kath and Alex were lovely and really accommodating. They’ve taken great care an ensured there’s really easy access to the beach too.
We’re already planning to come back with friends!

We had a wonderful stay with Kath & Alex – one of the best places we’ve ever stayed. Beforehand, we received detailed information, which made it easy to find the farm without any trouble. Kath welcomed us with a jar of homemade jam (so delicious and perfect for breakfast the next morning) and showed us our camping spot.
The paddock is very spacious and set in a beautifully peaceful natural environment. Our kids absolutely loved the swing and the small adventure trail down to the beach. In the evening, we were able to use the cosy fire pit and picnic area for dinner.
The next day there were no new guests arriving, so we were able to stay longer and enjoy a relaxed start to the day. We would have loved to stay longer, but unfortunately we already had another place booked that we couldn’t cancel.
We can highly recommend Woodleigh – the perfect place to stay on Bruny Island – and we’re very grateful for the lovely time we spent there.
