Overview

Howden is a quiet enclave on the shore of North West Bay, just 21 km south of Hobart and nestled between the growing township of Kingston and the smaller coastal village of Margate. The suburb offers a coastal lifestyle with the Stinkpot Bay and North West Bay waterfronts a five‑minute walk away, and the Peter Murrell Conservation Area nearby, where lapwings, seagulls, black‑and‑white cockatoos and ducks thrive among rocky intertidal pools that reveal Pacific oysters and shore crabs at low tide.

The hilly terrain is dotted with suburban‑style housing, providing a blend of relaxed living and easy access to amenities. Families benefit from the close proximity of Illawarra Primary School (2.1 km) and Channel Christian School (2.3 km), while the Margate Train shopping centre and Dru Point Park lie within a short drive, linking residents to everyday services and recreation.
