This estate has accommodation in cottages on the estate, however we just did the tour of the house and gardens. Everything in the house is authentic and has always belonged in the house. The dining room is a real step back in time and the guide , Judee has extensive knowledge of the family history to share, the good and... More

Working in heritage, I was pleasantly surprised with the fit out of the cottages. Loved the 3 nights spent at this treasured estate. The rose garden was delightful ... The only issue I had was very poor internet connection ... The staff where incredibly friendly and helpful.... I had the notion that as a winter romantic get-away Woolmers would fit... More

We spotted the signs for Woolmers on the main road to Hobart and decided to call in. What a great place. It details the history of the estate very well and it is a credit that the restoration is keeping the place in reasonable condition. The best way to appreciate anywhere is to take the guided tour, which we did.... More

We had 2 nights in the quaint little Rose Gardener's cottage at the end of the property. It was an interesting way to finish a great Tassie trip and having the 2 nights meant we could do the historic tour of Woolmers (excellent guide Judy) and the neighbouring Brickendon Estate (theres a great TV clip on the Archer family) Reasonably...

We stayed in a restored cottage - Oak Cottage - on the estate. It was pleasant and well-restored, athough the upstairs bedroom might be very hot in hot weather. The estate setting is interesting - it oddly reminded us of slave-based estates from the US South. Woolmers is heavily dependent on volunteer labour, and this left us feeling that we... More

We stayed at the Gardener's cottage. It no luxury BUT with such a reasonable price we could have the whole cottage and experience the 18th century life~ The rose garden is beautiful and it's like we were owning the whole area as each cottage were far from one another. We spent three nights there. It's a bit too much though.... More

Every Aussie should visit these spectacular, world hertiage listed sights to learn where we all came from and the events which shaped our national identity. The two sites have much in common but the subtle differences are enough to help you decide which one to visit or stay at- if you have to choose. Woolmers and Brickendon are both Archer... More

My family and I stayed at Woolmers Estate on 8 September 2012. This is history at its finest. We stayed in the three bedroom cottage with open fireplaces and stone walls. Quite a unique experience to be had. Very comfortable beds and total quite. The grounds contain numerous convict built structures which you can enter free of charge. Vintage automobiles... More

On a recent trip to Tasmania, we stayed at Woolmers Estate. Our accommodation was an updated cottage built well over a century ago. Although we stayed one night, this would be a good rental for a few days as it was a cottage and had a kitchen, up-to-date bathroom and laundry facilities, sitting room, and loft bedroom. The bird song... More
