We are a family of four and we visited from Sydney for a week in April 2015.

We had a wonderful stay. Robyne and Ian were warm, friendly, extremely helpful hosts, who went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and memorable. We were greeted upon arrival with a loaf of freshly baked bread and home made blackberry jam - yum! Our hosts let the children feed, wake and put to bed the four friendly roosters in the paddock near the house every day. They also took us to meet and feed all their horses that live nearby.

The farm itself is in the perfect location for travellers wishing to experience "country" farm life but yet be just a short distance from Hobart and all the sights of the region. The property is absolutely beautiful. You can take a walk up to the dam at the top of the farm, stopping along the way to say hello to the chickens and baby chicks feeding happily in the long grass. The friendly frisky goat is fun to visit too. At night, you can see pademelons and possums in the garden. There is an amazing tree house with pole and slide for the kids to explore, as well as a tyre swing on the old tree outside the kitchen window.

Soren (4 years old) liked the tyre swing, the chickens, the dam and all of the toys. Rose (2 years old) liked the trees, the goat and the chickens.

The house is warm, comfortable and full of character - perfect for families or groups of travellers. There are beautiful views from most windows out to the farm and countryside. The kitchen has everything you need to cook home meals, and the bathtub was used by the kids every night for hot baths before bed.

We would recommend Robyn and Ian's place as a comfortable, friendly affordable place for families to stay in Hobart who want to experience country "farm" life while exploring the region.
