    Southfork really is your very own exclusive resort and retreat. Go on... spoil yourself!

    We are situated approximately 30 minutes from the CBD of Hobart and 20 minutes from Hobart Airport. Southfork is a rural property with limited public transport options and the nearest shop/supermarket is approx 6km`s away. It’s best to have your own vehicle to get around.

    While we reside on the property, we are away from the main residence, ensuring you enjoy private access to Southfork and its resort-style amenities.

    As we are located in a rural setting, guests may occasionally encounter wildlife such as possums or small rodents in or around the home. Despite regular pest control and cleaning, this is part of the natural environment.
