Overview

Howden offers a quiet, nature‑focused lifestyle on the shoreline of North West Bay, just 21 km south of Hobart. The suburb sits between Kingston and Margate and is framed by bushland, with the Peter Murrell Conservation Area and nearby Dru Point Park providing easy access to walking trails and bird‑watching opportunities. Lapwings, seagulls, cockatoos and ducks are common, while the low‑tide foreshore along Wingara Road reveals rock pools teeming with Pacific oysters and shore crabs.

The housing stock is hilly yet predominantly suburban, giving residents a blend of spacious homes and scenic views. Families benefit from close proximity to Illawarra Primary School (2.1 km) and Channel Christian School (2.3 km), while the Margate Train shopping centre (2.4 km) and Villa Howden hotel (2.0 km) meet everyday needs. A short drive connects residents to Hobart’s centre, making commuting straightforward while preserving the suburb’s secluded charm.
