Hamlet Downs Country Accom is set on 36 acres of beautiful farmland in the Central Highlands of Tasmania. It was originally established as a Hops Farm with the homestead being built in 1926. Curated into Country Farmstay/Farmhouse style accommodation in 1994 and it has been a popular destination for travellers the world over for the past 28 years. Today Hamlet Downs is not only a country accommodation facility but also a working operational farm and guests are most welcome to take a farm tour and get 'hands on' in the daily feeding of the animals - The Alpacas, Pigs, Ducks and Chooks alike will be happy for you to feed them or just observe them frolicking about. There is a well marked walking track from the homestead to the 3 dams on the property which are home to a community of Platypus, which can be observed in the early hours of the morning or late afternoon as they forage for fodder. There are several options for guest meals that are available from ala carte breakfasts and signature dinner options, also a pre-prepared frozen Heat In Your Suite option, and of course self catering. Trish and Steve welcome you to be our guests at Hamlet Downs Country Accom
