Alpaca Farm Tours with Toffeemont

Immerse yourself in the ultimate nature experience as you unwind at ‘The Croft’ at Arden Retreat. Arden Retreat is on the outskirts of the historic village of Richmond in the Coal River Valley wine region, 30 minutes from Hobart in southern Tasmania. It is part family farm and part a preservation of Tasmanian bush. The Peppermint and Blue Gums provide habitat to many native animals, including a wedge-tailed eagle nest which is home to two striking "wedgies". The Croft at Arden is an exquisitely appointed two-bedroom cabin set amongst the gumtrees. The design, craftsmanship and interiors draw the built and natural environments together. The Blue Gum cladding is felled from the property. The glass frontage draws in natural light and warmth in abundance and the generous deck leads to a woodfired hot tub & fire pit. The architecturally designed space adjusts perfectly to accommodate singles, couples or a family. The primary pavilion consists of a separate main bedroom with king bed, open plan living, kitchen and bathroom. The second bedroom is linked via the atrium-style entrance. The Croft provides complete seclusion yet is located only 5 minutes from the cafes, shops and historic sites of Richmond.

Hatchers Manor Richmond offers self-contained accommodation on a working farm, just a stone's throw away from Richmond. Hatchers Manor is on a 100-acre farm and apricot orchard on the Coal River, a 25-minute drive from Hobart. Built in the gothic revival style, you'll be entranced by the sight of the round tower, steeply pitched roof, hand-painted decor and mullioned windows. Sleep in a four-poster king or queen-size bed in one of our rooms which all have ensuite facilities, spa baths, and antique furnishings. The self-contained two-bedroom cottage has full cooking facilities and accommodates up to five people. Start your day with a hearty country breakfast in our own coffee shop then perhaps stroll through the orchard and pastures, and meet the farm animals. Hatchers Richmond Manor is also an animal wildlife refuge, so you can also meet the wildlife. Hatchers Richmond Manor is within walking distance of Australia's finest Georgian village, Richmond, with its fine Georgian cottages, Australia's oldest working bridge, and a convict jail that predates Port Arthur. Our coffee shop/restaurant also offers cream teas in the afternoon and delicious home-cooked dinners in the evening. We also offer free Wi-Fi to all of our guests.
