5 Seaview Kangaroo Mt Rumney Escapes

Welcome to Mt Rumney Escapes – `Kangaroo House`
Escape to a peaceful retreat perched on top of Mount Rumney, surrounded by Tasmania’s stunning bushland. `Kangaroo House` is a fully self-contained 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home, set on a 150-acre off-grid property with breathtaking views of Seven Mile Beach, the rolling hills of Hobart, and beyond.

Why Choose Kangaroo House?
Rural Bushland Setting
Your adventure begins with a scenic drive up Mt Rumney, transitioning from smooth bitumen to a short gravel road winding through tranquil bushland. While the road is suitable for all vehicle types, please drive carefully as there are no streetlights, and wildlife is often active at night.

Modern Comforts in Nature
Enjoy the best of both worlds—cozy accommodation with modern conveniences in a peaceful, off-grid setting.
• 2 Bedrooms: Each room features king beds (or can be configured as two king singles upon request).
• Lounge Room: Includes a queen sofa bed and heating for year-round comfort.
• FREE Wi-Fi & Netflix: Stay entertained while surrounded by nature.
Unforgettable Views & Starry Nights
Soak in breathtaking sunrises and sunsets from your private deck. With no streetlights nearby, the night sky is perfect for stargazing—on clear nights, you might even catch the Aurora Australis lighting up the night sky.

Embrace Nature & Wildlife
As this is a true bushland retreat, expect to encounter insects, bugs, and native wildlife such as wallabies, echidnas, and blue-tongue lizards. You’ll also find friendly farm animals on the property. Bushwalking trails are available for those who love to explore the outdoors.

What to Expect During Your Stay
• Off-Grid Living: The property runs on tank water, a greywater system, generators, solar panels, and gas. Water and power are precious resources here, so we encourage mindful usage.
• Self-Check-In: Instructions on how to find us and access your keys will be provided a few days before arrival.
• Ample Parking: Plenty of space for cars, caravans, vans, or trailers.
• Peace & Privacy: While we may not always be available at check-in, we’re just a text or call away for any assistance.

Convenient Location for Exploring Tasmania
While secluded and tranquil, Kangaroo House is centrally located for exploring Hobart and beyond:
• Hobart CBD – 14km (15-minute drive)
• Hobart Airport – 13km (13-minute drive)
• Nearby attractions include:
o Richmond Village
o MONA Museum
o Salamanca Market
o Port Arthur
o Hastings Caves
o Tahune Airwalk

Perfect for Groups & Special Events
With six unique houses on the property, Mt Rumney Escapes can host up to 43 guests across various accommodations:
• Pet-friendly and disability-friendly options
• Larger houses with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms
• Smaller, fully self-contained 2-bedroom houses

Our property is ideal for group bookings, families, sporting groups, wedding parties, and more. We also welcome bookings for photoshoots, video projects, or work meetings.

Your Eco-Friendly Retreat
As an off-grid property, we prioritize sustainability through:
• Solar power and rainwater systems
• Waste management and recycling

Guests are asked to respect our environment and house rules during their stay. Create Lasting Memories
Mt Rumney Escapes is more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience. From stunning views and peaceful bushland settings to wildlife encounters and nearby attractions, Kangaroo House offers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
