This place was great to visit with the guide who was full of information and made the tour worth while and very informative. it would have been good to see all the roses in bloom but you can't have it all. The place has been kept well. The tour was the only way to go and well worth it

We came across Woolmers almost by accident, but I'm glad we did. We visited several estates in Tasmania - what separates Woolmers is the period furniture and possessions. Our guide was terrific - she knew the house, it's contents, and the family history well. Some of the old toys scattered throughout the house were wonderful. I'm not an expert, but... More

When enquiring about the tour versus self-tour, we advised that we possibly lacked the time to join a guided tour (didn't want to have to exit a guided tour early) and that we probably only had time to investigate the house and servants quarters (our main purpose for the visit); the garden and outbuildings would have to wait until our...

What a fantastic site. Had been unaware of the size and quality of this large colonial site before my visit. The tour of the home itself was well worth the money. The furnishings and fittings are absolutely wonderful and the guide was informative and interesting. After touring the home we took some time and visited all of the buildings as... More

Like brickendon this estate has so much history. It was so interesting to view the buildings still as they were and to hear about the history of the site. We were fortunate that our guide was one of the elder members of the archer family and he was wonderful explaining the history with a few funny little stories thrown in... More

Woolmers impressed us in the nineties so this was a follow up visit. We had 2 nights which was essential to also cover off Brickendon Estate across the valley. Theres a nice walk between the two and a fun little swing bridge at the Woolmers end over the river. I've reviewed the cottage accommodation elsewhere, but ours was adequate but... More

Woolmers is an important part ofTasmanian colonial life and due to what seems an eccentric family it has been amazingly left in a time capsule. There is almost 200 years of history in these grounds and it seems the Archer family kept everything through this time. The tour through the property is well worth it.

We stayed at Woolmers in their lovely guest cottages for a night and did the house tour. This is a lovely time capsule dating back to 1819 with 6 generations of ownership in the Archer family. An amazing history and a site of great historical importance. The house is just outside of Longford. If you like historical homes don't miss... More

The historic buildings at Woolmers are truly unique and well worth visiting, The old homestead is a step back in time to the challenging days of the early settlers and the wonderful historic woolshed, built in 1819 but in excellent condition, must be one of the oldest buildings in Australia. The cafe provided an excellent afternoon tea after a walk... More
