Farm Stay in the Tamar Valley, Tasmania

With the rise of interest in the food and wine of our lovely island, there's no better way to get a taste of rural life than at a Farm Stay in Tasmania. Stay in the guest rooms at Langdale Farm, and you're in the heart of the Tamar Valley, close to all the wineries, and still near Launceston. It's the ideal place from which to explore. 

You'll find a fridge stocked with provisions including our own English style pork sausages and Suffolk style bacon, both made on the farm. 

If you're a wine lover looking for accommodation and keen to explore the Tamar Valley's premium wines, you're in the perfect spot. We are on the Tamar Valley Wine Route, situated close to many wineries. An easy and delightful day's driving will see you visiting many. Your host Fiona Stocker works with the wine route and can recommend the cellar doors to suit your taste, and the wines to suit your palate.  In our guest rooms, we stock a small range of Tamar wines for you to purchase, just in case you haven't made it to a cellar door before your arrival. 

Farm owner and host Oliver Stocker is the resident gourmet farmer. He raises our free range, rare breed pigs - Berkshires and Saddlebacks. From their meat he produces a small range of delicious pork products including traditional English style sausages, and nitrate-free bacon, which is smoked here on the farm. We sell our product at the award winning farmers' market Harvest Launceston, fortnightly. 

Breakfast provisions and a barbecue pack of our product are included in your stay, and further product is usually available to buy. 

​The farm offers tranquillity and a warm welcome and we are delighted to received consistent five star reviews on AirBnB and Bookings.com. We are also pet friendly so you are welcome to bring your dog. We ask only that it be on a leash or with you at all times, and not eat our chickens. Our own farm dog Alice can be counted on to play with dogs who enjoy company. 

​Our Farm Stay in Tasmanian is ideally placed for exploring.

• Around 45 minutes from both Launceston Airport and the Spirit of Tasmania Ferry at Devonport. 
• On the Tamar Valley Wine Route in one of the world's top wine regions. We know many of the wineries and their owners personally and stock a small range of their wines. 
• Our guest rooms are spacious, private and comfortable and located in one wing of our house, yours for the duration of your stay. 
• A farm tour is included in your stay. Chat to Oliver and Fiona about rural life, and running a farm and food business. If it's a production week, you may get to see the smokers in action!

"Staying in the the guest wing of Fiona and Oliver’s farmhouse was fantastic. It is spacious, clean and private, but they are on hand if you need anything at all It is in a beautiful part of northern Tasmania and a great place to relax. Restaurants and other amenities are about 25 min drive away. Fiona has compiled a useful folder full of tips about the local places. I’d recommend taking up the offer of a tour round the farm and the breakfast pack, which was good fun to barbecue in the morning- and delicious. We stayed for a night, but I’d recommend staying for 2 or more. There’s plenty to fill the days with."
