About this property

Country charm meets laid-back luxury, where time slows and hairy moos roam

  • Nestled among the rolling hills of the Huon Valley, just two minutes from the charming township of Cygnet, the Barn is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect.

    Set on 40 peaceful acres, this relaxed country escape invites you to step away from the rush of everyday life and settle into a gentler rhythm — where long lunches, fresh air, and simple moments take centre stage.

    At the heart of your stay is our beautifully restored 1935 apple barn, thoughtfully transformed into a warm and welcoming retreat for up to nine guests. Full of character and comfort, the Barn offers four spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms (including a waterfall shower), and a fully equipped kitchen for enjoying the incredible local produce the Huon Valley is known for.

    Step outside and you’ll discover our outdoor kitchen — a special place to gather. Start your day with coffee in the fresh country air, or wind down in the evening sharing a meal as the sun sets over the paddocks.

    Once a working apple orchard, the land has gently returned to a more natural rhythm. Today, the farm is home to a wild orchard, productive gardens, open paddocks, and a friendly mix of farm animals.

    Guests are warmly invited to join our daily afternoon feeding tours — a simple and memorable way to experience farm life up close.

    We also craft our own raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and small-batch artisan cider right here on the farm — a true taste of the region.

    Take your time wandering the property, watching the light shift across the hills, and keeping an eye out for native wildlife. If you’re lucky, you may even spot our resident platypus in one of the dams.

    Explore the Huon Valley
    Perfectly located, the Barn is an ideal base to explore the very best of southern Tasmania. Discover nearby beaches and fishing spots (rods available on request), or take a day trip to the Tahune Airwalk, Hastings Caves, Bruny Island, or the Salamanca Markets.

    The region is also renowned for its vineyards, cafes, and restaurants — or visit local farm gates and bring home fresh produce to enjoy in your own kitchen.

    Discover Cygnet
    Just minutes away, Cygnet is a vibrant country town known for its creative spirit and beautiful setting along Port Cygnet Bay.
    Popular with artists and musicians, it offers a mix of galleries, studios, and welcoming cafes. Enjoy a relaxed coffee or lunch at local favourites like the Red Velvet Lounge or the Port Hole Café, or head to the Red Velvet Lounge on Friday evenings for live music and delicious food.

    Cygnet also has a bakery, supermarkets, butcher, and fresh produce store, along with local pubs for an easy meal.

    On the first and third Sunday of each month, the farmers market (10am–3pm) is a lovely way to experience the region’s produce and community.

    For a peaceful outing, Burton’s Reserve by the water is perfect for a picnic, stroll, or time with the kids.
