28 Gates Luxury Farmstay and Fishery

From the moment you arrive at this charming property on the historic “Bloomfield” grazing estate, you’re greeted with genuine warmth and hospitality — often from hosts themselves as well as the friendly farm animals! Guests consistently highlight the welcoming atmosphere and personal touches that make this place feel special. Visions of cosy evenings by the fire with fresh-baked bread and local wine set the tone for a relaxing stay.

From the moment we arrived at 28 Gates we were welcomed with genuine warmth and hospitality from Susie and Ronnie and of course Bert the pig and the many dogs 😊 The rooms were spotless, tastefully decorated and the beds were so soft and comfy. We enjoyed Susie's homemade bread and cookies by the toasty fire and spent many hours at the lake peacefully enjoying the view with a glass of wine. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a beautiful, relaxing escape with all the comforts of home and the warmth of true hospitality.

We had a wonderful 2 nights at Michael and Susie's beautifully renovated farmhouse. There is plenty of room to breathe and just be. A delightful greeting of homemade bread and biscuits awaited us. Susie gave us a tour of the property and some ground rules for safety, quick history lessons, and introduction to some of the animals. They are such charming characters. David utilised the blacksmithing workshop sessions and put his creative skill to the test. We highly recommend that you take the time to check out 28 gates' farm stay.

28 Gates Luxury Farmstay is set in a beautiful hidden valley, off the beaten track, about an hour north west of Hobart. The house for guests was wonderfully comfortable, simply and elegantly furnished. We booked a two course meal for our first night, which Susie delivered to the door. It was tasty and generous in portion size such that we had enough for dinner again the following evening, which made an initially somewhat expensive option, affordable, and a treat. The dessert was scrumptious! The trout fishing was a lure (!) for my partner and he was rewarded for his effort. And I used the opportunity to do final corrections to my (now published) novel, so the memories are special. Treat yourself, enjoy the peace and quiet, and the relaxing surroundings.

Dear Susie, Thank you for the amazing stay, it was lovely, the kids enjoyed the fishing, the night visit on your beautiful farm ( the pademelons, the possums and the wombats!!) ,, your adorable dogs and the most amazing and friendliest pig eveeeer :) and I was going to forget your horse who thinks he’s a sheep or maybe it’s the 4 sheeps who felt they were horses ! What a beautiful place, thank you for sharing the experience, such an eye opener. Looking forward to come again once you’ve built the second guests house next to the lake !
