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 two friendly hand reared 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. 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.
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!
Check in MUST be between 12pm and 8pm due to safety.
