From here it is only a short stroll down to the shores of the Huon River past the apple trees that blossom with fragrance and a sea of pink in the springtime. Then retreat back to the entertaining deck for a glass of wine as you watch the setting sun bath the views with a golden light. Did I mention the amazing views from here?
