Private beach Lisdillon Estate is one of the few lucky places in the world that has its very own private beach. Lisdillon's property extends to low tide mark so its boundaries grow bigger and smaller every second! Even though it is private and most of the time there won't be another person in sight you will occasionally come across other guests and people who rent shacks on the farm.
Private river Take a moment to breathe and unwind on a quick stroll to the nearby river.
A fisherman’s haven Trot down to the seafront of the Lisdillon Estate or rivulet and enjoy all the aquatic life on offer. We ask that all fish caught in the river and estuary are on a strictly catch and release basis (unless you are going to eat them) in order to preserve the environment of the river and estuary. Please only use lures, not bait hooks.
The sea out the front of our property offers bay flathead, salmon, squid cod, crayfish, and so much more. In the Lisdillon Rivulet, you’ll also find bream, oysters, brown trout, native galaxia and many other creatures.
- Private river with plenty of fish to catch (and release) - Private beaches (while the 5km coastline is owned by the Lisdillon Estate, you may see a few other guests from time to time) - If you have a boat you can take it out to sea in front of our property
You may not necessarily see us as we are quite busy on the farm, but we are quick to respond to any queries. Please message us if you have any questions or would like to purchase wine.
Lisdillon is a 6000-acre working sheep farm and vineyard. The estate includes three secluded beaches as well as the reef off the main beach and a rivulet and estuary. Featuring unrivalled views of The Hazzards, Freycinet National Park, and Maria Island.
Back in the day (1830), the land once housed a small but thriving township. The sheep farm, 19th-century cottages and sprawling native land are living reminders of Lisdillon’s rich history. Now home to an award-winning vineyard and boutique accommodation, Lisdillon is the perfect balance of past and present Tasmania.
Make the most of the expansive lands by walking, swimming, fishing or bringing your kayaks and exploring the river and coastline.
Or if you fancy a venture beyond the estate, eat at one of the local cafes or restaurants in Swansea, Triabunna or Orford (all within half an hour's drive). The award-winning restaurant Piermont is only a ten-minute drive. Other local adventures include whale watching, bike riding, quad bike touring, and more.
All in all, Lisdillon is the perfect escape for individual travellers, couples, families, or friends. In fact, many of our guests describe Lisdillon as one of the most beautiful places they have seen on their visit to Australia.
Though there is a bus, it is not always convenient and we do recommend that you drive yourselves.
Water consumption: We switch between the river and tank water, although both are filtered and safe to drink, some people still prefer to bring their own.
You are welcome to use the kitchen and cooking supplies (we will provide a more detailed list after booking). We advise guests to do their main grocery shopping before they get here as we are located 21km from the nearest town.
Please note: Due to the steep staircase, this house may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.
