D'entrecasteaux

D’Entrecasteaux is a small luxury hotel located in Howden just 15 minutes south of Hobart. It is nestled on the shores of the picturesque D’Entrecasteaux Channel and offers private function and conference facilities. Beamed ceilings and shuttered windows add rustic charm to the French provincial style building. The marble staircase winds up to 10 individually styled en suite rooms, including the tower suite with a claw foot bath. Most enjoy water views and private balconies. All feature liquid crystal display cable televisions, mini bars, king or queen sized beds and custom made or antique furniture.The licensed bar adjoins the dining conservatory where sumptuous meals are served, highlighting seasonal foods of the region and excellent local and imported wines. The tall arched windows open onto the terrace and beyond to the courtyard and gardens. D’Entrecasteaux is the perfect escape where guests can relax in the sitting room by the fire, enjoy a swim in the indoor heated pool or a game of French petanque or croquet, launch the canoe on the bay or explore the local area on the electric push bikes. Guests may also wish to venture further afield to Hobart, Salamanca Place and Sullivans Cove.
