Boobyalla is the perfect rural getaway. Within an hours comfortable drive from Hobart you will find yourself in a secluded valley with a small constantly flowing creek and protected by hills on three sides giving both shelter and an amazing sense of being secluded from the rest of the world. The very old settlers cottage of Boobyalla is positioned almost in the centre of the 45 acre property, without running water or power, almost as it was in those long ago days. Though this ancient building is not now considered a residence it has been lovingly brought back to a romantic life as a hideaway for a busy family from the city. Lined in Baltic pine and floored with ancient timbers, a wood fire for those cold winter nights, you will never want to camp again.
The land offers adventure and fun to both the grownups and the littlies with acres to explore, wildlife abounding, frog filled water holes and never-ending views.
Take that drive from the City and see for yourself!
