Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape. Heimat Farmstay is an animal and nature lovers paradise. Tours can be arranged at weekends to meet our gorgeous fluffy Highand Cows, mini donkeys, mini goats and alpacas They are all friendly and waiting to meet you. Our guest area offers 2 powered ensuite sites suitable for a caravan, motorhome or camper van; a communal BBQ shelter with dining facilities and our rustic bushman's hut. The bushman's hut is full of country charm and is the perfect spot to gather in the evening for dinner or a game of cards and a nightcap. Set on a hillside in Black Hills overlooking New Norfolk and the Derwent Valley, Heimat Farmstay offers breathtaking panaromic countryside and mountain views. Mount Wellington, the Sleeping beauty range and mountains of Mount Field national park can all be seen from the property. Outdoor Experience: Step outside and immerse yourself in the serenity of our 100-acre hobby farm. Wander through the woodland and let the beauty of native wildlife capture your imagination. The expansive views of the Derwent Valley, combined with sightings of local fauna, create a tranquil and unforgettable experience. Animal Interactions: Farm tours can be arranged at weekends for guests to 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.

Thanks to Gemma and Ben. Really enjoyed 5 nights at Heimat Farm stay. We had an ensuite powered site. We made a damper one night in the rustic camp kitchen.... To annoyance of resident possum. So much to see around area as well. A lunch at Derwent Estate "Shed" restaurant should be mentioned in particular. Also enjoyed a couple of walks around property and the various farm and native animals. O/ Can recommend a stay at Heimat!

What a wonderful place to stay. Well done to Ben and Gemma for providing such a tranquil setting. They make you very welcome to come and interact with them when feeding all their farm animals, we especially loved brushing their Highland Coos and spoiling them with apples and feeding their Alpacas. They have a very unique hut where we spent a wonderful warm few hours in front of the fire. Highly recommend.
