Overview

Howden offers a relaxed coastal lifestyle just five minutes’ walk from the sandy stretches of Stinkpot Bay and North West Bay. The hilly, suburban‑styled streets are framed by bushland and the Peter Murrell Conservation Area, where lapwings, black‑and‑white cockatoos and ducks abound. At low tide the foreshore at the end of Wingara Road opens to rock‑pools teeming with Pacific oysters and shore crabs, making casual beachcombing and bird‑watching a daily pastime.

Located 21 km south of Hobart, Howden sits between the growing township of Kingston and the smaller community of Margate, providing easy road links to the capital. Families benefit from nearby schools such as Illawarra Primary (2.1 km) and Channel Christian School (2.3 km), while the Margate Train shopping centre (2.4 km) and Dru Point Park (1.9 km) supply retail and recreation options. The suburb’s mix of hilly lots and modest homes caters to those seeking a peaceful, nature‑rich setting within commuting distance of urban amenities.
