Great experience - right from booking, Kim contacted us to recommend booking a restaurant for dinner early (they book up quickly) and gave names and contacts for the restaurants. We arrived easily due to clear instructions on where to go and park and how to access house. We were greeted by the friendly chickens which was so fun. Rod offered to take us on a tour of the farm and to meet their highland cows and it was amazing, Rod very funny and accommodating, and the cows were beautiful! In the night, it felt like you could see every star in the sky. In the morning, the continental breakky was so easy and greatly appreciated. We just wish we could have stayed longer than 1 night!!

We stayed at Rubys Cottage while doing a road trip around Tasmania. We were looking for accommodation a bit different to the hotel/motel and we found it! Such a quiet peaceful location with stunning views. The cottage had everything we needed and we especially enjoyed the log fire, farm tour and meeting our hosts. Such a lovely spot.

We liked the idea staying on the farm- chickens, cows ! Rod let us comb the big gorgeous longhorn cows. It was cosy for our group of 3. There are not many places to eat in port arthur, so we made a stew on the hotplate, and had a fire . Theres no dining table, so we were ok eating from bowls on the coffee table. You need a car to get here, its very close to port arthur site.

No complaints but for bed in main room a bit squeaky 🙂

Cute cottage with everything we needed for a lovely stay. The fire pit had a grill for a bbq which we used for warmth and dinner🙂 Rod took us to meet the animals on the farm and the views were amazing.

Quiet location, set on a working farm. We arrived late in the afternoon, tired and footsore from four days of walking. We dined at the Fox and Hound Hotel on the other side of Port Arthur....great steak! A morning stroll and a chat with Rod saw us admiring stunning views over Isle of the Dead and Denman's Bay followed by patting and brushing highland cattle.

The cows and hospitality

Plenty of breakfast options in the fridge & pantry, very friendly and helpful owners and the option to go on a walk around the paddock to see the views of the bay & meet and brush the highland cattle. A few board games, heaps of books, and a fireplace with plenty of wood made it a very relaxing stay.

Beautiful location, friendly hosts, amazing views. Rod gave us a tour of the property before we checked out and we were able to see the highland cows up close and give them a brush.

Great location, close to Remarkable Cave, Port Arthur Historical Site. The walk with Rod was wonderful to get a view of the Isle of the Dead and more remarkably brush Snowy, one of the cattle. Our children had a great time with the dogs and chickens too. Just a great spot.

Enjoyed the tour of the farm -brushing the Highland cows was a highlight

Caw farm but the milk in the fridge was from a supermarket. I would suggest offering local milk and eggs as well as jams.

Familiar atmosphere. Opportunity to see and pet farm animals.

Stayed in December 2024

The breakfast was very basic, consisting of cereal, toast and jam only.

The hosts were lovely and welcoming, and we were given a tour of the farm got to meet their very friendly cows.
