My wife and I stayed here for two days. It is simply a beautiful island of creativity and history rolled into one. We stayed in two rooms and both were delightful. We loved the Alpacas, ducks, hares, rabbits, friendly geese and the two Puli Dogs that were always up for a pat. The accommodation was spot on - rustic and... More

Beautifully restored stables, old farm feeling with animals and old homestead, great breakfast BUT.........since it was saved from demolition for a freeway the roadway literally surrounds it and the traffic is relentless all day all night, trucks, hoons in utes, etc. Spoiled the weekend, but not a lot they can do about it. No shops, no transport or even half... More

We were very lucky to snare a last minute room at Cleburne...the hosts were delightful, the breakfast immense, fresh, local & utterly memorable. The amazing, lovingly restored old stables (that we were in, there are other restored buildings with a range of accommodations) are cosy, soundproof & afford a solid sleep. Leave time for a leisurely breakfast on the massive... More

What a wonderful quaint homestead representing the true style of old-fashioned charm and elegance. We are so impressed with the homestead in every way from the impressive buildings; the amazing Alpaca's to the simple yet lovely geese. Their breakfasts were fabulous and their service was superb. Penelope and David are just terrific and delightful people and nothing was too much... More

We stayed here at the end of May and what a lovely place. Don't let the location put you off. Despite being surrounded by major roads you can't hear a thing once inside those thick stone walls. We had a little 2 storey cottage and everything was wonderful. David had the fire all ready to go when we arrived, and... More

Had a great weekend here with amazing hosts David and Penelope. Loved the contrast of the cosy stone walled rooms and vegetable garden with the cutting edge art collection. Great contrasting spaces to hang out in within the homestead and gardens More

Beautiful, rustic 19th century buildings and elegant, comfortable rooms - Cleburne Homestead is tucked away by the north end of the Bowen Bridge about 10kms from Hobart CBD, just across the river from the Derwent Entertainment Centre. It's a little oasis from the city's hustle and bustle. The hosts were charming, friendly and helpful; the breakfast was tasty; plus free... More

We loved Cleburne. Its location would be difficult if you don't have a car, but I would still recommend it. The rooms all had character, were extremely confortable and very clean. The continental breakfast was superb, with mulberries stright from the bush that morning, excellent bread and jam, and tasty homemade muesli. David and Penelope were superb hosts, giving us... More

Set in beautiful grounds with alpacas and geese for a rural touch. One of the oldest buildings in this area of Risdon Cove which was the orignal settlement, each room is different but the historical authenticity of the buildings has been retained. Some very interesting modern art (Penelope our hostess is an artist) decorates the rooms and the main house.... More
