About this property

Gather around refresh and reconnect in our renovated barn

Discover country life on an organic apple orchard and yet be only 10 min away from beautiful local beaches. Your accommodation is a beautiful renovated apple barn ( sleeps 9 )- that is fully equipped for your comfort and tranquility, set on a 40 acre working organic apple orchard in Cygnet part of the Huon Valley. It's a great place to start exploring from.

Explore the farm: meet our animals the goats, alpaca's, Highland cattle, sheep and heritage chickens. We also have four dams in which platypus reside, pademelon, possums, quolls at your doorstep and eagles soaring over the orchard. You can be as much involved with life on the farm as you like, feed the animals, take a tour around the orchard, have a look for some fossils, explore the polly tunnel or just keep to your selves as we give you all the privacy you want. To follow our life on the farm visit our facebook page.

We are in the middle of the Huon Valley and close to great beaches and fishing spots, we have rods available on request. Also close are The Tahune Airwalk, Hastings Caves, Bruny Island and the Salamanca markets just to name a few. A special mention of all the of great Vineyards and restaurants is in place or get your hands on our fresh local produce and cook up a storm in your own kitchen.

About Cygnet ( we're 2 minutes out of Cygnet centre )

Cygnet is a small town of approximately 1000 people, situated in the Huon Valley 45 minutes southwest of Hobart and 12 minutes out of Huonville. Cygnet is in the heart of the Huon Valley, an apple, cherry and berry growing district. Over the past thirty years it has successfully mixed alternative lifestyle and visitors activities such as woodturning, shops with interesting local crafts, lovely cafes and diners and holiday cottage accommodation with more traditional dairy cattle, orchards, mixed farming and sawmilling. It is an area of such richness that the recent SBS cooking/lifestyle series Gourmet Farmer showcased both the area and its presenter, Matthew Evans's, love of local fresh produce and cuisine designed to make enthusiastic foodies go weak with delight. Matthew Evans set up his Fat Pig Farm just on the out skirts of Cygnet and his lunches and cooking classes are real popular.
Every second weekend of January Cygnet hosts the famous Cygnet Folk Festival a real drawcard for any music lover, we host visitors from all over that attend this festival yearly.
Cygnet also started a French Inspired weekend once a year, due to the French connections with admiral Bruni D'Entrecasteaux naming the bay that runs up to Cygnet Port des Cygnets noir due to the high amount of black swans that reside in this area.

Your accommodation is warm and inviting.

The barn is an original apple barn that has been lovingly restored with an eclectic colonial interior.
There are 4 spacious beautiful bedrooms ( sleeps 9), both master bedrooms have lux comfortable king size ensembles , the other two bedrooms both have two single ensembles. There is plenty of room for cots or a fold out bed if needed. All beds have electric blankets.
The barn has 2 bathrooms one with waterfall shower and one with normal shower and a full kitchen to create some magic with all the local produce from the area.

It's a great place to stay in for the day with a good book on the couch, watch one of our up to date movies or play a nice board game. We have all of these available and keep them updated. There is an enclosed garden area with small playground, BBQ facilities, out door games and dad has not been forgotten we got fishing rods and plenty of good fishing spots ready for you.

We supply a welcome parcel of breakfast provisions to start of your stay.

Tranquility in Cygnet
The Barn is a fabulous place to stay whether you are a party of 2 or 10. It exceeded all expectations, generously equipped kitchen ,funky bathrooms, spacious living room and bedrooms, sun drenched terrace with stunning views across cherry & apple orchards. We made friends with the goats (especially the kid escapee) & hens - no sightings of platypus this time but plenty more to distract you on a stroll to the dams. Cygnet & surrounding area is such a wonderful place to visit - kayaking, wine tasting, Cygnet Bakery, shopping are only a few things we got up to! Highly recommend, we will be back!

Why they chose this property

Cygnet is a lovely town on the water, it's big enough to have all you need as in shops, galeries and cafes but small enough to still create that intimate atmosphere. We are surrounded by mountains which get covered by snow in winter and the scenery is breath taking.

What makes this property unique

our accommodation is a renovated Barn from c1935. We have created a warm welcoming luxurious space with lots of space for the whole family or all your friends.
