    This is a different experience which we really liked. Rathmore is run by a very dynamic and interesting woman who gave us the history and a tour of the grand old house and the refurbished out buildings she uses for functions including...

    Cally the owner was great. Not only did she make us very welcome but she also introduced us to Hercules the bull, Pom Pom and Marmaduke the sheep plus three horses. The location is stunning, seems remote yet is very handy to some beautiful...

    What I really love about this place is you can choose which ever level of pampering you choose. We elected to stay in the shearers quarters. ( You can stay in the homestead if you like.) We elected to cook for ourselves in the shearers kitchen....

Company info

My husband Richard & I enjoy sharing this special property with its special tranquillity & serenity. We grew up in Queensland on the land - Cally on a 7,000 acre sheep property on the western Darling Downs that was very FLAT & Richard with 40,000 chickens. Richard was an Engineering Surveyor. Cally ran a successful catering business, deli & student accommodation in Brisbane & worked in employment, telecommunications & finance.

Property info

We fell in love with the wonderful sandstone homestead convict built around 1828 Rathmore House, cocooned in the tranquil Central Highland hills in the stunning Derwent Valley. Just one hour from Hobart it feels like it is "almost off the edge of the world". Almost derelict outbuildings were revived for our large family of six children & their partners & our six grandchildren to visit. Being so comfortable & exuding country rustic chic, we decided they were too nice not to share. Having been owned by one family for 150 years & never open to the public, we opened in 2017. Rathmore residents currently include 4 ducks - Jemina, Jackie, Jerry & Jelly & 2 calves - Henry & Hercules. You are welcome to help with the feeding.

Neighborhood info

Guests are welcome to walk around Rathmore's 37 hectares (92acres) Ask about location of boundary fences. Dew Rivulet lake is fenced; please check gates are closed if you have children. Do not allow othem to go there unaccompanied by an adult. On a still day you may see platypus play as well as ducks & swans. Take the "Platypus Punt" on the Dew Rivulet. You are welcome to walk amongst the sheep & lambs & visit the Heritage listed Shearing Shed. You may be lucky to visit while there is sheep shearing or crutching so please check with us on this. Mt Field National Park & the stunning Russell Falls & Horsehoe Falls are a short drive & well worth visiting. Bothwell & Hamilton are interesting historic towns. Hamilton has great Coffee shops including Wild Fennel Cafe, Jackson's Emporium & Glen Clyde House cafe & Gallery . Ratho Farm Bothwell for Golf & Trout Fishing...ask Cally about booking this. Nant Whisky Distillery & Nant Mill tours are available Wed to Sunday 11am, 1.30 & 3pm. Nant has beautiful grounds and a cafe open 10am to 4pm.
