Welcome to Essentially Tas, your gateway to exceptional holiday houses in the Huon Valley and Tasmania’s Far South.
Nestled among some of the state’s most breathtaking landscapes, our handpicked collection of homes is built for slowing down. They offer the perfect blend of comfort, style, and untouched wilderness. Think water views, wood fires, hot tubs, and the kind of tranquillity you won’t find in a hotel stay.
Whether you’re planning a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a peaceful retreat, our properties provide an unforgettable base to explore the pristine beauty of southern Tasmania.

Luxury Holiday Homes in Southern Tasmania
At Essentially Tas, we specialise in premium accommodation that goes far beyond standard holiday homes. Each property is thoughtfully chosen to deliver a high‑end experience, combining modern amenities with the charm of the Far South’s coastal, rural, and wilderness surroundings.
Expect self‑contained homes, modern interiors, panoramic water or valley views, and features like private decks, jacuzzis, fully equipped kitchens, and cosy living spaces. Many of our properties sit on the doorstep of the Far South, where ancient forests, wild coastlines, and quiet coves create a sense of seclusion you won’t find anywhere else.
Whether you prefer a contemporary apartment-style retreat or a secluded cottage immersed in nature, you’ll find accommodation that feels like a home away from home, only better.



Why Choose to Holiday in the Huon Valley and Far South?
The Huon Valley and Far South are among Tasmania’s most remarkable regions, known for rolling hills, orchards, rivers, and the dramatic landscapes that lead toward the edge of the world.
Staying in our holiday houses lets you settle into the region’s relaxed lifestyle and pristine wilderness.
Unlike hotels, our houses offer space, privacy, and flexibility. Wake up to sweeping views, prepare meals with fresh local produce, and unwind in your own private sanctuary.
There’s no wrong time to visit down here – each season delivers its own charm. Autumn is harvest time, when the orchards turn gold and the cider presses run.
July brings the Huon Valley Mid-Winter Festival, all bonfires and wassailing, and winter nights this far south are prime aurora watching.
With clear skies and barely any light pollution, you have a real chance of catching the southern lights from your own deck.
Summer stretches the daylight past nine and fills the roadside stalls with berries and stone fruit, while spring covers the valley in apple blossom.
The ideal way to experience Tasmania? At your own pace, especially in the Far South, where tranquillity and raw natural beauty are the star attractions.
