The ethos of Tasmanian elegance is captured in each cabin at 'Just Down the Road.' Local timbers and materials are fashioned into sophisticated retreats that have let the cabins age and blend with their natural surroundings beautifully. The interiors are a demonstration of tasteful design, featuring exposed timber cladding, custom joinery, and expansive windows that immerse guests in the scenic vistas of the adjacent Hops Farm. 

Designed and built with a keen eye for detail by J&N Developments, each cabin is a haven of comfort. The king-size beds, adorned with plush linen, promise a restful sleep. The cabins’ charm is further enhanced by indoor wood fires and a selection of records, creating a cosy, nostalgic atmosphere. The modern kitchens, complete with essential amenities, and the opulent bathrooms with underfloor heating and walk-in showers, add a touch of luxury to the rustic setting.
