Hobart Aquatic Centre

The Rathmore House is a 92-acre estate nestled on a rolling hill in the central highlands region of Tasmania. The peaceful and tranquil surrounding of the property was all we needed to pace ourselves after two weeks of manic road travel from our Hunter Valley home in New South Wales. Staying in this historic site for two nights had a bucolic and rural touch that made us feel more at home than transient tourists hopping from one hotel to another. The beautiful and elegant homestead consists of tasteful and stylish rooms in the main Rathmore House, a fully equipped and self-catering cottage, and a shearers quarter decked with bespoke rooms styled in rustic perfection and suited for all types of travellers. Room amenities are eco-friendly and gentle to the environment. We slept like a log during our two-night stay here proving this property to be a comfortable and safe place to be. Above all, staying in the Rathmore will not break the bank because the cost of accommodation is relatively affordable. The Rathmore offers quality and clean rooms that are the best value for your money. A day or more here is absolutely a surreal experience unique to Tasmania. You will have a moment of a lifetime spotting resident platypus in the lake as well as feeding and patting horses, named Tim Tam and Emily, a bullock named Hercules, and three alpacas. Our hosts, Cally and Richard, helped us create memories we will never forget.

Charming retreat close to everything. We had a great short stay here and would definitely come again. The room was very comfortable (especially the heated tiles in the ensuite) and the whole building itself and the grounds were beautiful. Lovely breakfast including their in-house apricot jam.

Clean room and nice place
