Basic

We did not appreciate that this was an historic property. Our room was very dark and not comfortable. It may be appealing to those who seek an historical setting.

Host was very friendly, we ate the meal (lamb & wallaby) - both were good Pleased we did order because on a Monday evening there were no other dining options in Bothwell. We arrived late because of flights into Hobart so missed 1st course, so suggestion would be to arrive by 7pm if you ordered the dinner Little cottages are cute and comfy.

Unique experience as this farm is also the oldest golf course ( since 1822) in Australia. We were greeted by the host personally and sat around the fire chatting with a glass of wine from the bar. They offer a lovely home cooked meal, dessert and cheese platter also. Great place to stay, highly recommended.

Best farm stay ever.

An amazing historical home farm stay in comfy converted farm buildings on a working farm and golf course. The rooms are cozy warm with a modern ensuite with heated floor. The staff were amazing and we had a fantastic night for New Year’s Eve. We learned the history of the area and the farm and the importance to Tasmania’s history. We fed chickens, sheep and the cows. We aren’t gold people but it looked nice for golfers as Australia’s oldest golf course. we wish we booked more than one night. Thank you for the hospitality.

Amazing stay

This was an amazing stay. The manager,Michael was very friendly and made you feel so welcome. We dined at the farm with ot her guests and the meal was beautiful. Michael has a vast knowledge of the history of the farm and the area. Our room was very comfortable and near a creek with lots of birdlife .

Outstanding accommodations for the price point will definitely be staying here again, the one and only down fall was the twin single beds joined to make one large bed, outside of this small drawback I could not fault our stay here!

Peaceful and comfortable

A beautiful setting and a very relaxed environment. The dinner was very nice and sitting with other guests provided an enjoyable night of sharing travel stories. The rooms were clean and comfortable and as we had sunny weather we enjoyed being outside sitting near the creek running through the property.
