Quirky yet functional, homey and comfortable. Quiet too.

A fully renovated historic apple shed in the Huon Valley, designed by Australian architect Sam Perversi-Brooks. Cosy up in front of the central fireplace with a glass of wine and a good book. Relax on the north facing deck, nestled amongst the tall open trees. Stay in bed, lounge or cook up a feast in the spacious surrounds. Bathe in the luxurious, open, light filled bathroom, or shower under the stars. With a wide-open uncluttered space, containing original 100-year-old hardwood flooring and a soaring cathedral ceiling, this bold conversion offers the discerning traveller a sophisticated and idyllic respite from city life.
We loved renovating our old farm shed together with Melbourne architect Sam Perversi-Brooks, respecting the story of the shed and the history of the beautiful Huon Valley. We are a Melbourne/Berlin couple, making books, art and writing. We choose to live in Tasmania - for its beauty, health, good food, closeness to nature and for its remoteness.
BIGSHEDHOUSE provides access to the best of Tasmania’s art, culture, food, wine, and natural beauty. - Tasmania’s Huon Valley is one of the most loved food and nature destinations in Australia with travellers flocking to the region from interstate and overseas. Only a kilometre away from all the conveniences of Huonville, the ‘capital’ of this famed apple, cherry and berry growing region, a mere 5, 10 or 15 minutes away from the villages of Ranelagh, Franklin and Cygnet, and a vast array of local wineries, quality food producers, providores, local bakeries, cafes, restaurants and farmers markets. Hobart, Australias smallest capital city (with some disproportionately big attractions), is a 35 minute drive away (the airport is approximately 50 to 60 minutes)
