Fickle Break Farm

8 sites · RVs, Tents28 acres · Sandford, TAS
Fickle Break Farm is a 28-acre coastal property on the doorstep of a world-class surf break, only 30 mins from Hobart. You can walk out the door with your surfboard, bike, or running shoes and jump in the ocean or onto several beautiful coastal walking and riding trails. We are 10 minutes away from Lauderdale shops and 10 mins to the best surf beaches in Hobart on the South Arm Peninsula. Pitch your tent or park your set up on our beautiful grassy hilltop campsite overlooking the South Arm Peninsula and Mt Wellington in the distance. You'll enjoy good access to Mays Point surf break and the Clarence Coastal Trail just a few mins away with walking tracks to Cremorne and Lauderdale along the coast. The camping area has a communal fire pit, access to fresh water and power in our large shed if needed, and a table tennis table. We are on tank water, so please be mindful of this. And please drive slowly and be mindful of treading lightly on the land. We also offer a 5m lotus belle stargazer tent, situated at the very top of the property, nestled amongst the native trees and with water views, it has a luxurious queen-sized bed with beautiful linens and is a short walk away from the walking tracks to the beach. All guests have access to our well-maintained composting toilet with water views and a beautiful hot outdoor shower that is open to the sky. Next door is a large sheep property, and on our land we have friendly chooks, peacocks, Guinea pigs, miniature goats, horses and a border collie. Guests and children are welcome to pat, feed and cuddle the chooks, Guinea pigs, horses and the miniature goats! Dogs are welcome as long as they are friendly with other dogs and people, and can be trusted not to escape to the next-door sheep property (beware as farmers can be ruthless with dogs!). They will need to be supervised and restrained (tied up or placed in our closed-in yard at night so they don’t disturb wallabies and other wildlife). We love meeting new people and are passionate about our beautiful property so we can’t wait to share it with you!

The best camping near Hartz Mountains National Park guide

Overview

About

Venture into the heart of Tasmania's wilderness at Hartz Mountains National Park, where ancient glaciers have sculpted a landscape of dramatic peaks and serene lakes. Here, adventurers can embark on a journey through alpine herbfields, gaze upon the stunning red blooms of the Tasmanian waratah, and spot a diverse array of wildlife. With a range of walks from leisurely strolls to challenging treks, the park offers an unforgettable experience for every kind of explorer.

When to go

The best time to visit Hartz Mountains National Park is during the warmer months, from October to April, when the park's flora is in full bloom and the weather is more conducive to hiking. Winter brings its own stark beauty, but be prepared for snow, which can limit access and make trails more challenging.

Know before you go

  • Always check the weather forecast and be prepared for sudden changes, especially in alpine areas.
  • Ensure you have a valid parks pass before entering the park.
  • Register your walk at the booth beside the main car park for safety.
  • Remember, this is a Fuel Stove Only Area; fires are prohibited to protect the environment.
  • Accessible facilities are available, including toilets and shelters designed for disabled access.
