Romantic Farm Cottage with Miniature Goats

Step into a time gone by, where the Hideaway Farmlet fills you with romance and charms your soul. Prepare to be enchanted by this unforgettable stay. Live out your farm dreams amongst friendly animals, ancient trees and wild birds. Whimsical discoveries await in your cosy cottage and the entertaining miniature goats will be the highlight of your trip. Old English gardens and farm buildings built in 1948 sets the scene for your getaway.

Your relaxing cottage is the ultimate escape for couples in need of a private and romantic getaway or tired travelers seeking comfort and a memorable stay. Hear the dawn chorus as you wake and ponder your plans for the day. Watch the baby goats frolic whilst you sip your coffee amongst free range ducks, chickens and guinea fowl. Feel cosy and warm as rain rolls in across the hillside. Pack a picnic, hike a mountain nearby, explore rock pools in town at low tide or make it an intimate date night of self discovery. Roll a dice, deal a card or simply watch films in bed... it's all yours for the taking. But before you call it a night, don't miss your chance to view the Milky Way like you've never seen it before.

If you're an early riser, you can join Brad each morning during your stay for a memorable and brief introduction to our friendly miniature goats at feeding time. If you're after a more relaxed experience to compliment your stay, we highly recommend booking a one hour experience or 90 minute sunset session to get up close and cuddly with our minis. During your unique sunset session, we offer farm produce tasting and local wine or whisky, depending on the season. More details are provided when you book your stay.

Hideaway Farmlet is ready for you to unwind, put your feet up and settle in. In your cottage, enjoy a queen bed with luxe bedding, extra blankets and hot water bottles. The small dining table can be extended to double as a work space. The tv is on a timber trolley with remote so you can position it for maximum relaxation in bed if you choose. A DVD player, including a great selection of movies are provided for you. If after dining out you've changed your mind on dessert, we've got you covered. Enjoy some downtime or rekindle a romance with our carefully chosen games, puzzles and books encouraging self discovery and delight.

Your kitchen/cooking facilities include a small outdoor bbq overlooking the paddocks and indoors you have access to a microwave convection oven, toaster and sandwich maker, kettle, fridge/freezer and crockery. A basic breakfast is provided for you which includes coffee, various teas, local full cream milk, juice, homemade organic muesli, organic oats, local bread, and fruit. Any available produce in harvest will be provided for you to sample. Seasonal farm preserves may also be available to purchase along with some homemade craft.

Hideaway Farmlet is central to all popular tourist destinations in the North West of Tasmania. Stay as long as you can, most of our overnight guests wish they stayed at least 2 nights. Be able to complete all your day trips whether it's Stanley to the far West (1hr 20min), Cradle Mountain to the South (1hr 10min), Launceston to the East (1hr 20min) or all the beautiful and unique towns in-between all under an hour's drive. The cottage is described by previous guests as an enchanting, romantic, cosy haven with lots of character... we can't wait to welcome you as our honoured guests to Hideaway Farmlet and know you'll be supporting your hosts to continue sustainable and regenerative practices.

You have access to a fenced area behind the cottage where you can enjoy views of the front paddocks and watch how the farm animals spend their day. Our family of Australian Miniature Goats will love to come up to the fence to say hi. Bucklings and doelings are due to be born September through to November which is an exciting time to stay. We also have a small herd of Wiltshire Horn sheep who rotate around the yard and cottage. Our chooks, ducks and guinea fowl roam free, sometimes quietly roosting near your cottage. Our beagles, Daisy-Moo and Orla, go between the homestead and yard during the day. They will greet you in their hound-dog way. A fire pit, picnic tables, a hammock and natural logs are provided for you to enjoy your surroundings and hillside views. Please advise us if you'd like to use the firepit during your stay and we will check local fire restrictions and prepare the best wood and kindling for your evening experience.

Our cosy farmlet consists of your cottage, our homestead and workshop, formed around a large turning circle. There is also an occupied tiny barn, tucked under the Blackwoods, set a little further away. We respect your privacy at all times and ensure you have ample space to park your vehicle alongside the cottage.

We respect your privacy and have provided an easy self check in and check out process. We are available at any time to accommodate your needs, simply walk over to the homestead or send us a message.

Hideaway Farmlet is located on rural acreage, close to Bass Hwy and Penguin Creek. Usual traffic noise is to be expected however you get to experience all the environmental benefits of living on the outskirts of town. The train passing through the main precinct each night before dawn will not wake you, it is thankfully just a quaint toot in the air. By day, lots of wild birds frequent our property and by night, Tasmanian Pademelons, Wallabies, Possums, Potteroos, Bandicoots and Rabbits visit our gardens from our bush reserve above Penguin Creek.
