Outstanding accommodations for the price point will definitely be staying here again, the one and only down fall was the twin single beds joined to make one large bed, outside of this small drawback I could not fault our stay here!

Basic
We did not appreciate that this was an historic property. Our room was very dark and not comfortable. It may be appealing to those who seek an historical setting.

Amazing stay
This was an amazing stay. The manager,Michael was very friendly and made you feel so welcome.
We dined at the farm with ot
her guests and the meal was beautiful. Michael has a vast knowledge of the history of the farm and the area.
Our room was very comfortable and near a creek with lots of birdlife .

I liked the casual hospitality that was shown by the manager. A very friendly, personal yet professional welcome.
Guests were invited to join up and share a table for dinner. This also included an informative introduction to the history of Ratho Farm.
Beautiful country homestead.

Best farm stay ever.
An amazing historical home farm stay in comfy converted farm buildings on a working farm and golf course. The rooms are cozy warm with a modern ensuite with heated floor. The staff were amazing and we had a fantastic night for New Year’s Eve. We learned the history of the area and the farm and the importance to Tasmania’s history. We fed chickens, sheep and the cows. We aren’t gold people but it looked nice for golfers as Australia’s oldest golf course. we wish we booked more than one night. Thank you for the hospitality.

Peaceful and comfortable
A beautiful setting and a very relaxed environment. The dinner was very nice and sitting with other guests provided an enjoyable night of sharing travel stories. The rooms were clean and comfortable and as we had sunny weather we enjoyed being outside sitting near the creek running through the property.

I felt I was part of the family! Our whole stay was amazing.
Greg certainly has a passion for the family property and I loved listening to him reading from the farm chronicles.
Dinner was fantastic and our stay in “the bakery” was extremely comfortable.

Well maintained historic site is both relaxing and interesting on its merits. Meals allow for some extrovert time, otherwise a very private spot.There were a couple of hiccups around dining, but they were one offs.

My family loved the fact that it was a working farm and had Australia’s first ever golf course. Our daughter fed the highland cattle and loved the baby chickens. The home cooked dinner was amazing.

Interesting place. A lot of history.
Enjoyed the mixed dining setting and getting to know some of the other guests.
The owner manager is a bit of a strange one. He offered us 2 glasses of port when we were sitting around the fire after the other dinner guests left and then billed us for them upon leaving. I was dumbstruck.
