Riverfront Estate adds heat and cold wellness experience in Huonville

Riverfront Estate, a restored 1800s homestead at 12 Short St, Huonville, in Tasmania's Huon Valley, has introduced a new heat and cold wellness experience. The new service was announced on 6 November and is offered to guests staying at the property. It brings together heat therapy, cold immersion and the Huon River setting in one place.

The wellness experience builds on the property's existing wood-fired outdoor hot tub, which sits just metres from the river and is heated slowly with local timber. Guests can now combine that soak with a sauna and a cold plunge bath, along with access to the river itself. The offering is aimed at couples and travellers who are looking for relaxation and time outdoors. Details are listed on the property's wellness centre page at https://riverfrontestate.com.au/en/5800750/wellness-centre-heat-cold-and-river

Riverfront Estate is a three-bedroom self-contained holiday house with two queen bedrooms with river views and a twin room that can be converted to a king on request. Guests can launch a kayak or rowboat from the front lawn, swim from the riverfront, pick seasonal fruit and vegetables from the garden, or use the bikes provided to explore orchards and riverside paths. The house is a short walk from cafes, shops and the Huonville town centre, and a short drive from wineries, the Tahune Airwalk and Hastings Caves. It was built in the late 1800s by sawmiller David Jolly, who lived there until his death in 1956, and it has stayed in the same family since.

Bookings and enquiries can be made through riverfrontestate.com.au, by email at info@riverfrontestate.com.au, or by phone on 0419 327 170. Events in the area that guests can plan a stay around include the Huon Show in November 2026, the Cygnet Folk Festival in January 2027, the Australian Wooden Boat Festival in February 2027 and Taste of the Huon in March 2027.
