About Lymington

Lymington is a rural residential locality in Tasmania's Huon Valley, situated within the Huon Valley Council local government area approximately 25 kilometres south of Huonville and around 70 kilometres south of Hobart. With a 2021 Census population of 319 across about 17 square kilometres, it is a quiet, sparsely settled community set amid the scenic apple orchard country and dense forests that define the Huon Valley's southern reaches. The median household income reflects a modest rural demographic typical of this part of southern Tasmania.

Lymington offers a peaceful rural lifestyle in one of Tasmania's most picturesque agricultural valleys, with the Huon River and surrounding countryside providing a scenic backdrop for residents. The locality is within the broader Cygnet district, and the charming town of Cygnet — known for its arts community, cafes, and the annual Folk Festival — is the closest service centre. Drip Beach near Lymington provides a unique natural attraction, while the wider Huon Valley is renowned for its apple orchards, berry farms, and cellar doors. A car is essential, but the unhurried pace of life and proximity to both wilderness and the Hobart metro area via the Huon Highway make Lymington appealing to those seeking a true tree-change.

Lymington falls under postcode 7109 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Lyons (Derwent) electorate.
