Cycling the Huon Valley - Discovered Southern Tasmania rich cycle touring territory

There are many cycling opportunities in the Huon Valley, depending on your skill level or requirements. The Huon Valley nestles under the reclining profile of Sleeping Beauty, the poetic name of the bordering mountain range. So it’s appropriate that the valley has been known for its apples and now its boutique cider houses: Willie Smiths near Huonville, Franks out of Franklin and Pagan Cider in Cygnet. Willie Smiths is on this route and hosts local entertainment on Friday nights and monthly on Sundays. The local ciders all use apples, pears and cherries but are quite different.

You can set out from Riverfront Estate in the morning and do a very relaxing ride of approximately 28klm Riding up to Summer Kitchen bakery and café in Ranelagh for breakfast and a coffee, then continue up the river, noticing the dark flow of the Huon River with tannins, making any amount of reflective photo opportunities on a still day. You can arrive at Judbury and cross the Huon River and then head back down the river, via Glen Huon back into Huonville for a simple lunch at The Block Steak House.

Fish & Chips in Huonville

Tangaroa Kai -Strictly Seafood - I have had fish and chips a few times from these lovey ladies, they park just down from the Globe Hotel on the Esplanade in Huonville. They have fresh fish from Dover Wharf. They are only there until 7:00pm and only on Thursday, Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays. They have a web page Strictly Seafood . Keep an eye out if you want some really nice fish and chips. Makes a nice meal to take back to your accommodation at Riverfront Estate .

Why Is the Huon River such a great spot to fish

That's easy, the Huon River. This is a spring afternoon on the banks of the Huon River. This shot shows why its such a great river to fish in the summer This afternoon the white bait, a small bait fish were running up and down the river banks. This could mean its likely to be a great trout season with this sort of early movements of bait fish. So if you are looking for some accommodation in the Huon Valley as a base for you fishing holiday in consider booking Riverfront Estate over the Xmas or New Year period.
