They say some places have the wow factor - well this is certainly one of them! From the moment you enter and see the spectacular ceiling and stained glass windows you know you are in for something special. Richard and Berlinda are two real entrepreneurs, building the farm (including farm house) and cafe in Hobart from scratch. But they are lovely down-to-earth, engaging people who make you feel welcome.
You need a car to make the most of your stay but that enables you to exploit the fabulous location to visit Hobart, Richmond and MONA (if that's your thing) but do reserve time to get out to Mount Field and enjoy the rugged beauty Tasmania has to offer. Just driving in Tasmania is a pleasure with excellent roads and hardly any traffic (once you're out of Hobart)!
When you get back to the farm after a day out you are greeted by Heston the super-friendly collie and many ducks and ducklings. The bbq is splendid and did a great job on the venison sausages and wallaby burgers we picked up from Tandara Game Meats.
Do have a look round the farm - the 20 acres are an oasis with olive orchards, peonies and a variety of livestock from rare-breed chickens to saddleback pigs and sheep.
The accomodation is really modern, chic and comfortable (it even has a surround sound multi-media centre!) - if you are staying in this area, I doubt you will find anything to beat Weston Farm.
