28 gates is a fantastic farm stay, The hosts Susie and Michael are wonderful and very welcoming. The house is very comfortable with everything you could want. We stayed 8 nights and it was such a great experience. We learned a great deal about farming and the Tasmanian way of life. The animals on the farm were very friendly, our kids loved hanging with the dogs. It is just under an hour to Hobart and 15 - 20 minutes to historic New Norfolk. We went to Hobart 4 times in the 8 days (Taste of Tasmania was on) and we loved the different ways you could drive there following the Derwent River. There is also so much to do in the area surrounding 28 gates. Mount Field National Park has beautiful walks and waterfalls and for the more adventurous, there is Maydena mountain bike park. That plus all the lovely produce direct for farm gates makes the Devent Valley a fabulous place to visit.
