Villa Howden has an extensive range of onsite activities that can be adapted to make your stay both memorable and to exceed your expectations.

Guests are invited to relax in front of the lounge fireplace or in the light filled sunroom to enjoy a quiet drink with friends. With complimentary broadband internet access, the library is the perfect spot for reading, writing,  or challenging your partner to a wide selection of board games. For music lovers, our Piano Bar offers an upbeat atmosphere to enjoy a delicious cocktail and the sounds of visiting artists.

A large indoor heated pool occupies its own building with full-length windows opening onto the courtyards and overlooking the bay. The expansive outdoor terrace which can also be enclosed and heated provides an alternative outdoor dining facility with superb views across the courtyard and private gardens.

Villa Howden’s landscaped gardens are the perfect backdrop for the gentle art of petanque, lawn croquet or star gazing at night through Villa Howden’s telescope. For those wanting to enjoy the estate at a slower pace, the terraces and courtyards offer peaceful spots to relax and enjoy a drink, soak up some sun, dine, the best high tea or simply enjoy the views.

Located on the edge of the Huon Valley tourist route, Villa Howden is an ideal base from which to discover the magnificent views from Mount Wellington and all that Hobart and the Huon Valley have to offer.
