Overview

Taranna is a quiet hamlet on the Tasman Peninsula, positioned about 16 km north‑east of Nubeena and bordered by the waters of Norfolk Bay. Residents enjoy a relaxed coastal lifestyle with easy access to natural spots such as Newmans Beach, Sympathy Hills and the nearby Cascades and Newman Creeks. Local amenities include a historic Presbyterian church beside the Federation Chocolate Factory and the Unzoo Tasmanian devil park, while Little Norfolk Bay Events and Chalets offers boutique accommodation for visitors.

The Arthur Highway (Route A9) runs straight through the centre of Taranna, providing convenient north‑south travel to the rest of the peninsula. Historically the settlement was the first stop on the convict tramway to Port Arthur, adding a touch of heritage to the area. Housing ranges from traditional rural homes to newer chalet‑style dwellings that complement the surrounding landscape, catering to both permanent residents and holiday seekers.
