Weddings | Huon Bush Retreats

Hold your wedding or commitment ceremony in nature

Huon Bush Retreats is within a large private nature reserve in the hills of the Huon Valley. At its heart is an innovative eco-village where you’ll be enveloped by the stunning forests as you celebrate your special day outdoors with family and friends.

As soon as you head off the meandering back roads of the Huon Valley and venture up into the forested hills surrounding Huon Bush Retreats you’ll know you have found somewhere truly inspiring to begin your new life. A secluded honeymoon suite means there is room for everyone and you can relax knowing your guests are safe with all other cabins in walking distance from the outdoor entertainment area. Huon Bush Retreats can cater for up to 60 guests.

Link

We live up to our name as a bush retreat. End of valley privacy is protected by 4km winding gravel road, steep in sections. You do not need 4WD but you do need to be comfortable driving on gravel roads.

Eco-friendly facilities include carbon neutral wood heating, natural water and composting toilets.

Electricity is 12-volt solar, there is no 240 volt electricity. There are USB outlets for charging small devices. Laptops and cameras can sometimes be charged at reception, with limited availability, or we can sometimes provide an invertor that makes small quantities of 240volt electricity.

A CD player and radio is provided. Rooms are free from technology such as TV, WiFi, phones, aircon, electric blankets, microwaves and hairdryers. Most Telstra and Optus mobile phones work fine.

Water comes from natural sources. We do not add any chemicals. The water might be tannin stained. Each cabin and the camp kitchen are equipped with sub-micron filters that the manufacturers say remove 99.99% of all known organisms.

You will be surrounded by wildlife of all sorts, including birds, mammals, arthropods and reptiles. Animals do sometimes enter the cabins and tipees (Arachnophobes and Allergics might prefer a city hotel).
