Fat Pig Farm in the Huon Valley

We often have people staying and going to Fat Pig Farm. Fat Pig Farm is home to Matthew, Sadie and Hedley. Together they run at 70+acre family farm in the beautiful Huon Valley, south of Hobart, where they live and nurture food from the soil to turn into great meals for the farmhouse table. Since 2011 we have been busy turning the one-time apple orchard into a mixed farm. Along with our namesake Wessex Saddleback pigs, the farm is home to chooks, a beef herd and a market garden. They also also milk a pair of full cream cows, harvest apples from our heritage orchard and have planted an olive grove that will supply all of our olive needs (in about a decade’s time!). Matthew used to be seen on SBS TV showing off all his cooking, and can also be found at the Salamanca Markets. This is us at Fat Pig Farm, just having consumed the Rhubarb cordial with a splash of local gin. Fat Pig Farm is at Glaziers Bay between Huonville and Cygnet.

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 .

We have finished our Deck and Louvered roof project at RiverFront Estate. You can now sit on the deck in all weather with our Louvered roof providing cover and Zipscreen blinds able to lower and provide privacy. Louvered roof supplied by Taylor and Stirling
