Fickle Break Farm
10 sites · RVs, Tents28 acres · Sandford, TAS
Fickle Break Farm is a 28-acre coastal property on the doorstep of a world-class surf break, only 30 mins from Hobart. You can walk out the door with your surfboard, bike, or running shoes and jump in the ocean or onto several beautiful coastal walking and riding trails.
We are 10 minutes away from Lauderdale shops and 10 mins to the best surf beaches in Hobart on the South Arm Peninsula.
Pitch your tent or park your set up on our beautiful grassy hilltop campsite overlooking the South Arm Peninsula and Mt Wellington in the distance. You'll enjoy good access to Mays Point surf break and the Clarence Coastal Trail just a few mins away with walking tracks to Cremorne and Lauderdale along the coast.
The camping area has a communal fire pit, access to fresh water and power in our large shed if needed, and a table tennis table. We are on tank water, so please be mindful of this. And please drive slowly and be mindful of treading lightly on the land.
We also offer a 5m lotus belle stargazer tent, situated at the very top of the property, nestled amongst the native trees and with water views, it has a luxurious queen-sized bed with beautiful linens and is a short walk away from the walking tracks to the beach.
All guests have access to our well-maintained composting toilet with water views and a beautiful hot outdoor shower that is open to the sky.
Next door is a large sheep property, and on our land we have friendly chooks, peacocks, Guinea pigs, miniature goats, horses and a border collie. Guests and children are welcome to pat, feed and cuddle the chooks, Guinea pigs, horses and the miniature goats!
Dogs are welcome as long as they are friendly with other dogs and people, and can be trusted not to escape to the next-door sheep property (beware as farmers can be ruthless with dogs!). They will need to be supervised and restrained (tied up or placed in our closed-in yard at night so they don’t disturb wallabies and other wildlife).
We love meeting new people and are passionate about our beautiful property so we can’t wait to share it with you!

The Duck Hole at Farnese Olivo
6 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Hobart, TAS
Farnese Olivo is a family hobby farm set on 5 acres overlooking the Coal River Valley in Acton Park, just 15 minutes from Hobart CBD.
The Duck Hole is a historic farm dam offering a quiet rural experience.
COMPLIMENTARY INCLUSIONS:
All campers have free access to:
- potable drinking water
- shower (open air, cold only) - bring bathers. Great in summer, only for the brave in winter!
- rubbish bins
- fire pit
- firewood (provided for free, for use in the fire pit)
- cast iron bbq plate and skillets for cooking in the fire pit
- picnic table and chairs overlooking the dam
- dam side hammock
- portable cassette toilet (located outdoors)
The property was established in the early 1980s on the site of one of Hobarts oldest farms (the original house built in 1826 still stands as a beautiful family home 2 doors up on our street).
The old dairy still stands as visitor accomodation opposite the front of our property offering a glimpse of farm life from the past 200 years.
A tradition we maintain today with having a sustainable orchard with just over 100 trees. Seasonal Fresh produce is available to purchase.
We are home to friendly hand reared heritage british sheep (they love cuddles and food!), Ducks (Wild and Pet) and Chickens.
Overlooking the historic dam there is a shared fire pit with firewood supplied complimentary.
We ask that on days of total fire ban, this is respected.
We can only accept self-contained campers, so you will need to have your own camp toilet or use the cassette toilet provided. There is a dump point within 6km, located in Cambridge Park for those with their own toilet.
Public toilet and showers are located close by at Seven Mile Beach and Roches Beach (both about 5 mins drive)
Some minor leveling may be required. The sheep pen and duck hole sites are pretty much flat. The coal valley and ash sites require minor levelling.
As we have farm animals, you will get to hear our sheep and ducks enjoying their environment. However, it is very quiet of an evening/night.
We love meeting new people and are passionate about our property we can’t wait to share it with you and your family!

On request our guests can join us to meet the animals;
Our adorable fluffy Highland cows love a good brush and are always jostling for attention, some of them are also keen on treats of apple slices.
Our trio of Suri Alpacas are a wonderful blend of goofy and graceful. They will come and say hello and Thunder gives cute 'eskimo kisses'
Penelope Jane (PJ) and Duncan are our gorgeous mini donkeys, they are endless fun watching them play and wrestle. They both love a good scratch and cuddles and plenty of human company.
Our 3 mini goats Huckleberry, Dudley and Elfie are cheeky little chappies and what they lack in size, they make up for in character. They all like a good head scratch and pat
Wildlife Encounters:
We also share our 100 acre hobby farm with an array of Tasmanian native wildlife including wallabies, pademelons, possums, echidnas, bandicoots, wombats, quolls and even Tassie Devils. Wedge tail eagles and hawks soar the dams, native hens (turbo chooks!) rush around the paddocks and if you are lucky you may spot a tawny frogmouth sitting on the fence watching for his prey at night.
Nature enthusiasts and photographers will find plenty of opportunities to observe and capture the unique flora and fauna of Tasmania.
