Barrenjoey Farm is a large 30-acre private estate in the heart of historic Richmond, just 20 minutes from Hobart’s CBD. We’re located metres from town, the local caravan park, and some of Tasmania’s best vineyards. Hobart Airport is just ten minutes away. Our farmstay is the ideal base to explore Hobart, the Tasman Peninsula, and the gateway to Freycinet. With secure pin-code gated entry, you can choose from a variety of sites in the back paddock or a powered site near our equestrian arena. The property offers great access for all vehicle types but all setups must be self-contained as there are no onsite facilities. You’re welcome to interact with our sweet alpaca family and our two Swiss Blacknose sheep Shawn and Timmy (a breed known as the cutest sheep in the world!). Well-behaved pets are welcome but must be secured at all times to protect our farm animals. The closest water and dump points are just ten minutes away in Sorell and Cambridge. Our farm is perfect for families and travelers seeking a peaceful escape from the crowds and noise of busy caravan parks. ........... About Us: We’ve made a home at Barrenjoey Farm, along with our four wild and wonderful kids. The farm is built on land cared for by the Palawa people for tens of thousands of years. A place to exist in tune with the seasons, grow food, raise animals, and let the kids run barefoot. We love sharing Barrenjoey Farm with others … especially people from the city who come here and remember what it’s like to slow down. For more pics follow us on IG: @barrenjoeyfarm.

Roger’s place has been fantastic. The block is sheer wilderness—rugged nature at its best, surrounded by chirping birds, wallabies hopping through the landscape, and an open fire crackling beneath a sky full of stars. Pure serenity.

Awesome camp spot. Peaceful, private and quiet which is rare to find on Bruny. Roger was incredibly generous with firewood and the site was level, well maintained and absolutely beautiful. The native Birdlife is stunning and will definitely be back.
