The Neighborhood

Bordering the Kanamaluka/River Tamar, Hillwood offers a tranquil, rural-style suburb for those who seek a peaceful getaway. The homes sit amongst serene native bushland and rolling hills, with many sitting on generous sized blocks, providing space and privacy. Hillwood is the perfect base for travellers, situated right in the middle of the City of Launceston and a popular beachside town, George Town. Hillwood offers many renowned attractions and places to visit right at your doorstep. Make sure to stop by the Hillwood Berry Farmgate. Here you can visit the tasty cafe where you can enjoy a beautiful berry ice-cream or purchase some lovely jams or fruit wines made from the freshly picked produce. Enjoy a Tassie must-do experience, and pick-your-own berries. Get your hands dirty and fill your bellies whilst picking your own punnets of berries whilst in season! Take a stroll down by the calm river, visit the Egg Island Point reserve, or warm your soul with a delicious coffee with a view at the beautiful Hillwood Coffee Shop. Looking for a local boutique vineyard experience? Make sure to visit the lovely Hinton Bay Vineyard. With the vineyard serving up some of the most divine cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir options in the state, you won't want to miss this one! Take a short drive to George Town, where you can visit the historical Maritime Museum, feast your eyes on the stunning Low Head Lighthouse, or take a guided tour while spotting some adorable fairy penguins that reside on the shores of Low Head. For those thrill seekers out there, the iconic George Town Mountain Bike Trails are just a stone's throw away, providing guests with an extensive range of mountain bike networks to tackle, at all skill levels. Launceston is only a 30 minute drive away, which showcases a variety of shops, delectable cafes and restaurants, as well as the City Park which is known for its beautiful oak tree gardens, playground for the children, plant-filled conservatory and cheeky snow monkeys. Whilst in the CBD, make sure to visit the Cataract Gorge. A spectacular natural formation where you can enjoy long and short walks, fresh water swimming basins, the world's longest single-span chairlift and vibrant peacocks! An additional, unique way to experience this attraction is via the Tamar Cruise vessel, which cruises through the waters that carve between the rocky formations.
