    The hosts were wonderful. There was an abundance of space. The room was large, and there was space upstairs and downstairs for guests. Wallabies are frequent visitors to the property.

Dominating the hill on the expansive 90 hectare bush-land estate this stately stone-house is nestled within a magnificent rural setting only 30 minutes from the Hobart airport and 45 minutes from Hobart earthy architecture is in keeping with the raw Australian landscape in which the great house sits. The house has a relaxed, spacious feel with soaring ceilings and free flowing living areas. Grand en-suite bedrooms crafted from locally milled timber suspended on the top level of the great house offers our guests luxury accommodation. The floor to ceiling windows have plenty of natural light framing the bush land and rural settings. From these windows the wallabies and other natural wildlife can be spotted. A comfortable guest lounge room with a fireplace gives a sense of cosiness. Complimentary limited WiFi is available based on a rural connection. The house observes key green principles with minimum disturbances to the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, we also utilize fresh rain water, bottle water is offered .We welcome our guest to this pristine location.
Jayne lives within the property and is on call to welcome you personally and be of service during your stay
What a great area to base yourself to explore the south east of Tasmania . No matter which direction you choose to venture, there are many activities on offer to our guests from Arts and Culture, Food and Drink, heritage and wild life. Of particular interest is the Coal River Valley wine region, only 20 mins from The Great House. .Most of the vineyards are cited on the north east slopes in the valley to get the most of the sun. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay,Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc are the classic varieties grown here ,but many other varieties are grown as well Most vineyards have cellar doors and offer tastings ,cafes and restaurants ( basically between the hours of 10am to 4pm) The region includes the historic town of Richmond. A day trip to Hobart is an easy 50 minute from drive from The Great House and the airport a comfortable 40 minutes . Port Arthur is another great day out and is around 1.45 hour drive
