About this house rental
Welcome to Mt Rumney Escapes – Kangaroo House
Escape to a peaceful bushland retreat high on Mount Rumney. Kangaroo House is a fully self-contained 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home set within 150 acres of beautiful Tasmanian bushland, offering stunning views towards Seven Mile Beach and Hobart.
🏡 Comfortable & Self-Contained
• 2 bedrooms with king beds, configurable as king singles on request
• Queen sofa bed in the lounge
• Heating for year-round comfort
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Private bathroom and laundry
• Comfortable lounge and dining areas
• Free Wi-Fi & Netflix
• Private deck
• Ample parking for cars, vans, caravans and trailers
🌄 Views & Stargazing
Relax on your private deck and enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets across the surrounding landscape. With no streetlights, Kangaroo House is a wonderful place to enjoy the night sky and stargaze. On clear nights, you may even have the opportunity to see the Aurora Australis.
🐾 Wildlife & Bushland
This is a genuine Tasmanian bushland experience. Wallabies, echidnas, native birds, blue-tongue lizards and other wildlife may be seen around the property. You may also encounter farm animals and insects — all part of staying in a natural rural environment.
Walking trails around the property provide opportunities to explore the surrounding bushland.
🌱 Off-Grid Living
Kangaroo House operates using solar power, generators, tank water, gas and a greywater system. Guests are asked to be mindful of water and energy use during their stay.

A car is strongly recommended as there is no regular public transport to the property. Taxis and Uber may be available.
