There are a lot of restaurants, wineries, cider making and Distilling establishments, a sheeps cheese making property plus Bruny Island - very popular tourist spot is not far away. Beautiful waterways - popular yachting area with yacht club...members often keen to recruit a crew member. Lots of popular hiking areas around southern Tasmania.

    About us: We are non-smokers but don't mind a smoker lighting up outside the house. We enjoy wine, good food and meeting interesting people from around the world.

    If the workawayer does not have vehicle we are happy to pick them up from Cygnet, and they would be welcome to come with us when we are going further afield such as to Huonville, Kingston or Hobart, or if we go out for a days touring ourselves.
