28 Gates Farm Stay, Tasmania
Welcome to your Luxury Farm Stay Accommodation in Tasmania.
28 gates is a luxury farmstay just one hour from Hobart, nestled between Tasmania’s Derwent Valley and Central Highlands. Set on a seventh-generation sheep farm dating back to 1862, the beautifully restored homestead blends rich heritage with comfort and style. Once stables and grain lofts, later shearers quarters after the 1967 fires, it now offers a peaceful escape surrounded by rolling hills and fresh country air.
Guests can unwind by the fire, soak in the bath overlooking the fields, enjoy fishing, bush walks, wildlife, farm experiences, local food and wine, or explore the properties history through museums and blacksmithing workshops. A place to slow down, reconnect and experience authentic Tasmanian farm life.

Nature & Tasmanian Wildlife on your Doorstep
Whilst we offer a number of activities here at 28 gates, we are very well known for a strong Fly Fishing culture with three lakes where you can find Wild Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout and Tiger Trout. To date, the largest fish caught weighed a delightful 10 pounds, with the average weight being around 4 pounds. We have found that a woolly worm or a shrek fly is a winner with these fish and the bonus of fishing at 28 gates is that you do not need a license. Another benefit of indulging in farm stay luxury is you can fish all year round in complete privacy!
Staying on a working farm means a variety of unique experiences are right on your doorstep. Explore the walking tracks, feed the farm animals, go on a property tour , emerge yourself in our working shearing shed or head out on a guided 'native night tour' on dusk to see the native Tasmanian wildlife...a must experience for all ages.
We are also fast becoming a targeted destination for bird watchers. We have over 90 noted species of birds on the property. We are known to have at least 7 of the 12 endemic birds which are only found in Tasmania: Yellow-throated Honeyeater, Yellow Wattlebird, Tasmanian Native Hen, Black Currawong, Green Rosella, Tasmanian Scrub wren, and the Tasmanian Thornbill.
