We made the best memories, will hold these memories for ever. Thank you so much.
GreeceLoved the cottage, location, breakfast and open fire...
AustraliaThe site is world heritage listed and a working farm. The cottage I stayed in had glimpses of how it would have been 100 years ago. Sitting on the back porch sipping a wine in quietness with noise only coming from birds and animals.
Australiamet expectations and a nice variety. we had bought milk on the day and had brought bread and promite in case we needed something in the afternoon so you will note that we didn't use the milk or jam or fruit. but eggs, bread and coffee and tea summed up the ambiance.
AustraliaEverything about it was gorgeous. We absolutely adored staying there. The history was very interesting as well. For an early settler experience I highly recommend it.
AustraliaLocation and animals were awesome... the resident pig and goat walking past the verandah were a bonus..
United KingdomI stayed in the beautifully restored "Gardner's cottage" on this historic colonial farm. The colours at sunrise and the atmosphere were amazing. Everything you need including breakfast is in the cosy cottage. Louise is a great host and also gave me a tour of the grounds. How lucky we are to have this property preserved and cared for by the original family. The stay was a highlight of my visit to Tasmania.
AustraliaA traditional cottage brings us back to history! We spotted wallaby at night.
AustraliaExcellent experience staying on the world heritage site. The gardeners cottage is quaint and very private. It has a great outlook over gorgeous hills. Had some cute wallabies in our garden one morning and some frogs living in a little pond outside. The provided breakfast of fresh bread, eggs, peaches, milk, juice, butter, jams etc were excellent. Feeding the animals was also a great experience. We walked down to the jetty and had a lovely picnic one afternoon too.
AustraliaThe setting was amazing, it was a 1841 gardeners cottage. It had all amenities but was set up as a heritage accommodation site. The breakfast was well set out and quite large. The heritage garden at the main house was well worth a walk around.

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.
