About Villa Howden
Villa Howden is a boutique hotel built in the style of a French château on Howden Road, on the shore of North West Bay, south of Hobart. Ten guest rooms sit around a Mediterranean-style courtyard and landscaped gardens, with views across the water. Weddings are the main event offer, and the setting suits a smaller guest list. Ceremonies can be held indoors or outdoors: in the Pavilion and Deck function room looking over the bay, on the lawn, or among the courtyard gardens. Receptions move into Bruni's Restaurant, a dining room with tall arched windows facing the garden. The menu and drinks package are designed around each couple, and the villa also hosts intimate celebrations and corporate events. Bruni's is open to the public as well as hotel guests, cooking a menu that changes with what local farms and fishers bring in. Dinner runs Wednesday to Saturday, with high tea and group bookings offered on weekends. Guests who want to stay can book rooms on site, and the villa has an indoor heated pool, a library and an open fire. Menus change often and can be adjusted for dietary needs with enough notice.
