Set on the shores of North West Bay in Southern Tasmania, Villa Howden offers waterfront views, boutique accommodation and a refined European-inspired setting just 15 minutes from Hobart.
Surrounded by beautifully maintained gardens and overlooking the bay, the property combines the intimacy of a private estate with the convenience of a full-service venue. The grounds provide a number of picturesque ceremony locations, while the courtyard, lawns and interiors allow celebrations to flow seamlessly from one part of the day to the next.
Villa Howden is particularly well suited to couples seeking a timeless and sophisticated wedding experience. The venue's European architecture, waterfront outlook and boutique accommodation create a romantic backdrop for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations, with many couples choosing to extend the experience across an entire weekend with family and friends.
