Overview

Huonville is a town of 3,002 residents (2021 census) on the Huon River, 38 km south of Hobart. It is the Huon Valley’s administrative centre and a gateway to wilderness, offering hiking, kayaking and fishing. The economy mixes historic apple orchards, salmon farms and growing tourism centred on artisan food, boutique cider and the Mid‑Winter Festival. Local amenities include Huonville Primary and High Schools and Apex Park.

Transport revolves around the Huon Highway, which runs through town and connects it to Hobart and nearby settlements; a 1959 steel‑concrete bridge provides the only major river crossing. Tassielink Transit and Calows Coaches run regular buses to Hobart, and a council‑backed plan proposes a shared pathway to Franklin. Housing is largely owner‑occupied and affordable, attracting families, retirees and commuters seeking a rural lifestyle within easy reach of the capital.
