Taras Richmond Farmstay

Our children loved the close interaction with the farm animals. The host Sharron was a real animal lover, imparted great knowledge to our children to respect animals. We learnt a lot during the morning animal farm feeding (not easy to be a farmer).Cottage was clean and very well equipped, beds were comfortable. DVDs, books and Monopoly board games for the family.Daily breakfast prepared in a basket was interesting. We only had to cook our own eggs in the morning.Location is great. 5 mins to rustic Richmond town and less than 30mins to Hobart city.

We absolutely loved our farmstay. The cabin felt like brand new with modern decor, it was spacious, clean and had absolutely anything we could need. The hosts were kind and helpful, and you can tell the farmstay is a labour of love. The free range chickens wandered around outside the cabin to our children's delight, and there's a gorgeous creek at the back that you can walk to. A lovely touch is the breakfast basket delivered in the morning with freshly baked bread, homemade jam, eggs from the choices, cereals, coffee and yoghurts. Richmond is a lovely town with the plenty to do for adults and kids alike, and I'm so glad we stayed here.We paid extra to do the animal feeding with Sharron, and it was worth every cent. The animals were absolutely beautiful, and it was an experience that the kids and adults all loved. It comes with my highest recommendation!

My children enjoyed their stay there especially the animal feeding session where we can come up close to the animals. We manage to feed the sheep, 2 horses, an alpaca, and some hens. Hosts Sharon and Kim were friendly, and we enjoyed the morning piping warm toast for breakfast. There is a mini play area where the children jumped on a trampoline, slide across a mini zipline, and sat on the swings. Accommodation is well-maintained for a farm-cottage. Overall a good experience!

Brilliant breakfast service. Our 7 and 9 year old loved the feeding and the position is perfect for exploring the southern region of tazzie. Jim and Sharon were very accommodating and assistive. Highly recommended for families

Enjoyed our stay. The priorities for us were quiet location, comfortable beds and enough space to start our holiday. In these respects faultless.We appreciated the friendly hosts and breakfasts along with feeding the the farm animals. Highly recommend.

Just finishing up our weeks stay. Sharron and Kim the owners are excellent. If quiet is what you are looking for this is for you. Fresh hot bread and percolated coffee each morning with fresh fruit for breakfast is the way to start the day. We will return.

We had a wonderful stay at Kim and Sharon's farmstay in early April. Super welcome and service. Lovely cottage with everything needed and more. Terrific breakfast with fresh bread, home made jam, fresh eggs to cook how you like. Good location short drive to Richmond Village (bakery is fab) and good base for day tripping. A delightful haven to return to at the end of a day of adventures. Best place we stayed in Tassie, were sad to leave. We three Kiwis highly recommend.

Wonderful! Sharon and Kim were so lovely, the cottage was immaculate, the breakfast superb, and the animals had us and our children absolutely charmed. Could not fault a thing. Highly recommended!

Had a great relaxing few days here. Was well suited for our needs, and we were made to feel very velcome. Good job guys
