Cape Raoul, 7184
Suburb profile
Cape Raoul is a quieter smaller community in Tasman Council, where peace, space and a country-town pace still dominate. Distance from the metro area around Hobart is part of the appeal, with regional hubs closer to hand than the city. The community skews younger.
Weekends tend to revolve around local favourites: a café, a market run, a walk through town. Local shops are sparse, so a fuller set of amenities usually means travelling to a neighbouring town or regional hub. Local green pockets are modest, with bigger outdoor outings usually found in neighbouring areas.
Day-to-day life is more car-oriented here than in denser, more walkable pockets. Property prices are middling for the area: fair relative to what is nearby.
