A cosy getaway you won't want to leave
Casita Rica offers a cosy 1 bedroom retreat with spectacular views of the Huon River and beyond, located a 30min drive south of Huonville. A light filled open living/dining/full kitchen with sweeping views of the tree line and water provides a warm, winter hideaway. Enjoy your early morning cuppa out on the deck while chatting with the local birdlife - really, its up to you. 15-20 mins from local towns of Geeveston and Dover. Easy day trips to Cockle Bay, the Tahune, Hobart, Bruny Island and Hartz Mountain National Park, Idyllic beaches, bushwalking, plentiful local produce and weekend Markets. Or kick back in front of our fire, while playing cards, board games or just reading from our library of books.

A lovely location with an elevated view over the trees and bay beyond, Casita Rica is a well designed, well appointed and private location. The building is quiet and solid in the face of some strong winds during our stay, and the windows provide a light and bright space. Wood fire is nice and toasty, the bathroom is excellent and the kitchen has everything we needed.
Great spot for getting away from it all, relaxing in privacy. Host was quick to respond with any queries. Easy to find, well supplied kitchen (no dishwasher). We read books and lounged on the sofa it is a good place to relax. Host was quick to respond with any queries. Easy to find. Best mobile internet speed we could get was 3 Mbps, we gave up on the wifi.
A beautiful place to get away from the bustle of city life - the only shame was that we didn't get to stay longer!

Very warm and welcoming. Beautiful atmosphere and convenient that water and butter and jam were in the fridge so you don’t have to bring EVERYTHING. I would definitely stay again.
It was so difficult to leave Casita Rica. The tranquil setting, immaculate abode and warm hospitality made our few days exploring the Huon Valley without a doubt one of our most favourite getaways.
Casita Rica is lovely. The owners created something quite special in this little cabin. Lots of nice touches, the layout is great and well appointed, the view is to die for, it's very private and the area is simply stunning. One of the nicest little holiday houses we've stayed in, in a long time. I'm sure we'll be back at some stage
Casita Rica is a well designed, beautifully presented cabin nestled in a lovely spot amongst the trees over looking the water.
Everything you need for your stay is provided and every little detail has been well thought out by the host.
Communication with the host was easy and prompt, she was super friendly and provided lots of information on things to do in the area.
We only wished we had booked to stay longer as like the listing says you won't want to leave.
We cannot wait to return.
Its so cos
