Beautiful space in a lovely rural location. The owners made us feel very welcome and provided very cost effective and tasty family dinners.

quiet farm environment, spacious accommodation and lovely Burmese feast provided by welcoming hosts.

Our Queen-sized accommodation was a small self-contained cottage. (A fridge, kettle, toaster, crockery and cutlery, but no oven etc.) It was very comfortable and attractively decorated. The bed was great, the shower was hot, we had a lovely stroll around the farm and we went on some fantastic walks in nearby Mt Field National Park. We also took advantage of Trish and Steve’s offer to have our dinner cooked and delivered to our door……delicious!! I would definitely recommend Hamlet Downs to others who are heading to this part of Tasmania.

Steve and Trish
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
Hamlet Downs is idyllically located in Fentonbury, just an hour north of Hobart, on The Western Wilds route. We are a mere 12 minutes drive from Mt.Fields National Park and Russel Falls and 25 minutes to the ski fields.
