A fantastic place where they have thought of everything

Absolutely loved our stay at the Barn. The accommodation is super spacious, very comfortable beds and every little personal touch to make it feel like home. Our hosts Yolanda and Malcolm gave us a tour of their lovely farm and it was a real bonus being able to feed the animals each day we were there. Cannot recommend highly enough - we will definitely be back!

Had a great time here. Very well furnished and laid out. Provisions were excellent and the hosts could not have been friendlier. Meeting the animals was a bonus. Only let down was lack of water pressure to the shower, but that was a minor inconvenience when put against all the pluses. Thanks for making a great holiday even more special.

Beautiful accommodation in rural setting.

We had a wonderful stay and loved the house. It's so well renovated and thoughtfully designed. It was also so warm and cosy with a real log fire and heating for the chilly mornings. We especially loved the animals and farm tour, thank you so much. The breakfast food and nibbles were greatly appreciated too. You couldn't have done more. :)

Eden is wonderful, along with the hosts Jo, Matthew & Megan. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, and our 4 year old loved helping to feed the animals. He also loved the toys, books & dvds provided! Everything you could want is here, along with scrupmtious breakfast provisions & other treats. We based ourselves here to visit the Tahune Airwalk which is awesome, and the Huon Valley is just beautiful. Buy some apples & farm fresh eggs at the farm gate before you leave!

Comfortable Farmstay!

Overall a very nice Farmstay with lots of animals for both adults and children to see and feed. Both Jo and Matt are good hosts. We rented both houses for a group of 12 persons. Excellent bedrooms. Only inconvenience is that there are only 1 bathroom and 1 toilet in each house, so that would require some queuing time for a big group in the morning and evening. .:)

Friendly Farmstay

Our stay at the farm was simply lovely. Jo and Matt are such friendly hosts. Accommodation was very comfortable and had everything we needed including breakfast supplies. Fresh eggs were a great bonus. Lovely surroundings. 2 min drive into Cygnet village. Central to exploring Huon Valley. Our 11 year old LOVED the stay - especially having Pancakes the rabbit living in her yard and getting to feed all the animals. The animals are all close by and it is lovely to wander around the property. I would highly recommend Eden Farmstay.

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!

Wonderful, Peaceful and comfortable.

The property was everything and more than described and in photos. Jolande and Matthew were incredibly friendly and helpful. The barn had everything you could want. The animals were adorable. There were 2 couples and 1 single adult and we loved everything available to us. This was a most interesting barn, warm and full of wonderful fixtures and furnishings. The beds were so comfortable. We loved the small town of Cygnet too and would highly recommend the area of wineries and apple cider cellar doors.

A fantastic getaway in the countryside!

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Farmhouse at Eden Orchard. The house is very good for a large family and has all the necessities you need, including a cosy fireplace and lots of toys and games for the kids. This is a great place to stay for up to a week because it is so spacious and you can easily hang around the farm for a couple of days and just relax and pat the animals. Matt & Jo are so friendly and they really welcomed us to their farm. The kids (and we) loved to join Matt when he was feeding the animals and we had a really good time doing that. We stayed here in the end of May and I can only imagine how fantastic it is here in the spring, summer and early autumn. I wish we could have stayed longer! We highly recommend a stay at Eden Orchard & Farmstay!

This was honestly the best farm stay we have ever experienced in Tasmania. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming and incredibly peaceful. The setting is absolutely beautiful – rolling countryside, fresh air, and the kind of quiet that makes you instantly relax.The farm itself was such a highlight. Our kids absolutely loved meeting the animals, especially Basil the goat, who quickly became the star of the trip. They are still talking about him! Seeing the children so excited and engaged with the animals made the experience really special.The accommodation was spotless, comfortable and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed. There was lots of special touches and attention to detail that we appreciated. Waking up to the views of the apple orchard and the sounds of the farm was magical and such a lovely way to start the day.What really made the stay exceptional though was the hospitality. Yolanda and Matthew were incredibly kind and generous, and you can tell how much care they put into the farm and the experience they create for guests.We left feeling refreshed, happy and already talking about when we can come back. If you are looking for a peaceful getaway and a genuine farm experience in Tasmania, this place is absolutely perfect. Highly, highly recommend!

A wonderful short family farm stay

Matt and Jo are wonderful and very helpful hosts. The location of the farm was great, only a short drive to Cygnet, 20 mins to Kettering and 10mins to Huonville, and just across the road from Pagan Cider cellar doors (and by the way, we highly recommend their cherry cider... yum!) We have 3 kids, ages 10, 12 and 14. All 3 absolutely enjoyed their stays and time with the animals. And yes, there were heaps of animals to feed and play with. From hairy highland cows (and a very friendly bull), sheep, goats, pigs, gorgeous alpacas, ducks, and fluffy hens. There is also a platypus or two, but we did not get a chance to see it in our stay. would highly recommend the stay to any family with kids who love animals. we'll definitely try to make it back next time we are in Tassie.
