United Kingdom3 ReviewsExceptionalMy partner and I had a short but very sweet stay with Rod and Kim. Guests have a whole cottage to themselves which caters for everything you might need, including breakfast items, heating and plenty of cosy blankets. There were many booklets and local pamphlets on what Port Arthur has to offer, and Rod kindly recommended a pub for dinner which was superb. Aside from the stunning and peaceful scenery, my absolute highlight was Rod’s tour of the farm in which we brushed adorable highland cattle and were given some super interesting facts and anecdotes by Rod of Port Arthur. I truly hope we are able to visit Tasmania again and we’d love to stay at Ruby’s Farm Stay if we do!

Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Rod was a very friendly host and we really enjoyed our walk to meet the similarly friendly cattle. A cosy stay in a basic farmstay cottage that doesn't pretend to be anything else.

Fantastic Hosts - Kim and Rod were friendly and very accommodating. Took us for a farm tour and made us feel very welcome. Beautiful property and location. Farm animals were very friendly, chickens let you pat them. During our tour, we brushed the highland cows and got to see a brand new calf. Beds were very comfortable and we had everything we needed in the cottage.

Australia8 ReviewsVery GoodVery small space for in-door cooking and dining. Only one side of the dual portable cooktop was functional. Only half roll of toilet paper was supplied, and we couldn't find any tissue and paper towel so it was a bit hard to clean up after cooking. One of the bedrooms was a bit too small for a couple but would be good enough for one person
Cozy cottage. Super friendly dog, you'd love him if you're a dog lover. Rod showed us around the farm, was a great experience brushing and petting farm animals.
