Curringa Farm

You can relax in front of a warm fireplace, with a private bathroom (featuring a separate bath and shower), a kitchenette with a full-size fridge-freezer as well as tea and coffee-making equipment, watch television (complete with a DVD player) and enjoy the outdoors on the balcony or patio. The management at Curringa Farm have made sure to include an iron and ironing board as well as a hair-dryer, so less for you to pack in your luggage. Air conditioning and laundry facilities complete the picture.

Curringa Farm itself is a non-smokers’ property, and with the exception of guide dogs or similar service animals does not permit pets. Parking is free, as is the wireless internet, and the front desk, where English and Chinese are spoken, is open from eight in the morning until six in the evening. You can also make use of barbecue equipment (one type of smoking no one objects to, but then, who would?).

Naturally you wouldn’t expect a farm to be slap-bang in the middle of a city, so not all of the external attractions are going to be right on the doorstep. However, St. Peter’s Church is less than five kilometres away, and Mount Field National Park is less than twenty. The forty-kilometre trip to Meadowbank Lake or Mount Field National Park are also well worth it.

The farm itself sells items including lanolin hand and face lotion, woollen clothing, native Tasmanian timber crafts, chutney, jam and their Royal Danish Sweetheart Cake, something which has won international acclaim.
