Triabunna Barracks

Amazing Hosts, very knowledgeable of local sights and history and made sure we were looked after well. Great to see the building saved and brought back to life

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the barracks. John & Kim have done an amazing job with the renovation. We love that everything in the building has been locally and sustainably sourced.Our room was really well sized with a super comfy bed and a big free standing bath!We were greeted with a platter and drinks on arrival. In the morning, they cooked up a feast of a breakfast for us. They were more than happy to cater for my partners gluten intolerance too!Safe to say we will be back very soon.

We stayed at the Barracks on our last visit to Tasmania. Our stay was fabulous. The Barracks are charming and beautiful and Kim and John were excellent hosts. Everything was perfect and fabulous

My partner and I stayed here in early August, John and Kim are so lovely and so passionate for their beautiful piece of restored colonial history. Beautiful breakfasts, great conversations. The area is ready to explore, wineries, convict history and a warm welcoming pub right next door. Highly recommended, try to fit in more than one night. Love Téa.

One, if not the best Bed and Breakfast we have stayed in. A truly sympathetic heritage restoration with contemporary features and facilities. The hosts Kim and John go out of their way to ensure your stay with them is memorable. Will definitely be planning a second stay.

Exceeded our expectations and great place to stay when visiting Maria Island. John and Kim are wonderful hosts.

Absolutely stunning accommodation and sensational hospitality. Excellent eco credentials on this relatively new renovation, and a real Grand Designs experience. Like other reviewers have said, we have never experienced bed and breakfast accommodation like it. It would be an amazing place to go with some other couples, as there are three fabulous rooms and a communal dining/lounge area, complete with a well-stocked bar and wine rack (it’s an honesty system and all very reasonable prices). Next door is a local pub with a fire, welcoming locals, and apparently great for a meal. We went with the fresh fish and chips from the van so we could make the most of the fire back at the Barracks. Will definitely be back to stay, including to see Maria Island which was shut for a few weeks when we were there.

My partner and I stayed here after a day out at Maria Island. If you want genuine sustainable tourism then this is where it's at. John and Kim have restored the old stables (mostly by hand) leaving you with beautiful, historical buildings crossed with seamless modern technology. The attention to detail is unmatched. Kim and John make the food and condiments themselves and the pub is just next door. We loved it here and would stay again! The hospitality is unmatched!

Lovely stay, building has been beautifully restored and exudes luxury and comfort through a combination of modern refurbishments whilst retaining its heritage elements. Kim spoilt us with a delicious pre-prepared home made breakfast and a cheese platter on our arrival. We will definitely be back when weather permits a visit to Maria Island.

Our night at The Barracks was a special gift, and what a wonderful gift that turned out to be! From the moment we arrived Kim and John made us feel like honoured guests; welcome and totally at ease. The welcome drinks and platter of local treats, lovely conversation and delicious homecooked breakfast next morning all helped us relax and were greatly enjoyed and appreciated. The restoration of two old sandstone buildings with fascinating histories is worthy of Grand Designs or Restoration Australia, having been completed with skill, dedication and deep passion. The finished results are stunning, with special touches everywhere. The bed was heavenly and the bath totally luxurious.We arrived tired and jaded on a wet and blustery day and left feeling refreshed and energised anew by our night of kind indulgence.If you're ready for a treat I suggest you book now. And don't forget to ask John about the gin in the well - it's a fantastic tale!
