We made the best memories, will hold these memories for ever. Thank you so much.

Loved the cottage, location, breakfast and open fire...

Unique farm stay. There’s a good reason it’s UNESCO World Heritage listed.

The cottage is absolutely gorgeous, and to our young children it was like staying in a fairytale, they loved it. Could only imagine this place would be more cosy in winter in front of an open fire (we stayed in summer).

You just can’t compare Brickendon to other accomodation. It’s like climbing into the Tardis and going back 200 years but taking all the mod cons with you. Everything has been so meticulously and sympathetically restored retaining the simplicity of life in the 1830’s on a property that has been in the same family for may generations. We felt really privileged to stay there. Total serenity and privacy with the most affable and welcoming of hosts. Thank you all at Brickendon for such a soul enhancing experience. In these difficult times it is fortuitous to be reminded that is the simple things in life that bring true happiness.

We went from this rustic 1830s cottage one night to an ultra modern architect designed ocean view studio the next, and the contrast just made the experience all the more fabulous. The grounds are lovely and the history of the place is alive. Country hospitality at its best.

Beautiful setting - wonderful garden and interesting heritage farm buildings

Ambience, peace, nature, friendly farm animals, friendly staff, the bed.

Loved the unique accommodation, breakfast and privacy.

Fabulous little cottage, friendly staff & animals. Interesting history, sites & informations. Great place for kids & they were so excited about all the animals & getting to feed them. Highly recommended ☺️

Richard and Louise Archer
Brickendon has been in our family since 1824 being one of Australia's oldest family farming properties. Our children are the 7th generation to grow up on Brickendon and we currently have three generations sharing the Main Homestead. The original property was established by convict labour and we were recognised by UNESCO in 2010 along with Woolmers Estate by being one of the eleven "Australian Convict Sites" . Tthe property has an original convict built farm village, beautiful heritage listed gardens, a convict walk to Woolmers and plenty of friendly farm animals so there is lots to do while staying with us.
Richard and I are both 6th generation Tasmanian and are passionate about our family history and our connection to the land. We operate our farm along with our son Will, producing a range of grass seeds, cereals, poppies and vegetables along with cattle and sheep. Our tourism operation has been running for nearly 30 years with accommodation in restored convict built cottages and more recently built rustic farm cottages and we now offer a beautiful site for intimate weddings and celebrations. We are owner operators and would very much enjoy meeting you during your stay with us.
Longford is set in the Norfolk Plains which takes it name from the original settlers from Norfolk Island. Rolling hills, hawthorn hedgerows and many historic sites gives an impression of a mini England. Longford is known for its historic buildings, car and horse racing and is located in the centre of Tasmania's rich farming countryside. We are only 20 minutes drive from the Launceston Airport and 25 minutes drive to Launceston and the Tamar Valley wine route. To our West is the delightful drive to Deloraine and Latrobe where you will find many stops for delicious food and antiques wares. Ben Lomond National Park is a little over a hours drive while Hobart and the East Coast will take around two hours.
