About Cygnet ( we're 2 minutes out of Cygnet centre )

Cygnet is a small town of approximately 1000 people, situated in the Huon Valley 45 minutes southwest of Hobart and 12 minutes out of Huonville. Cygnet is in the heart of the Huon Valley, an apple, cherry and berry growing district. Over the past thirty years it has successfully mixed alternative lifestyle and visitors activities such as woodturning, shops with interesting local crafts, lovely cafes and diners and holiday cottage accommodation with more traditional dairy cattle, orchards, mixed farming and sawmilling. It is an area of such richness that the recent SBS cooking/lifestyle series Gourmet Farmer showcased both the area and its presenter, Matthew Evans's, love of local fresh produce and cuisine designed to make enthusiastic foodies go weak with delight. Matthew Evans set up his Fat Pig Farm just on the out skirts of Cygnet and his lunches and cooking classes are real popular.
Every second weekend of January Cygnet hosts the famous Cygnet Folk Festival a real drawcard for any music lover, we host visitors from all over that attend this festival yearly.
Cygnet also started a French Inspired weekend once a year, due to the French connections with admiral Bruni D'Entrecasteaux naming the bay that runs up to Cygnet Port des Cygnets noir due to the high amount of black swans that reside in this area.

Your accommodation is warm and inviting.

The barn is an original apple barn that has been lovingly restored with an eclectic colonial interior.
There are 4 spacious beautiful bedrooms ( sleeps 9), both master bedrooms have lux comfortable king size ensembles , the other two bedrooms both have two single ensembles. There is plenty of room for cots or a fold out bed if needed. All beds have electric blankets.
The barn has 2 bathrooms one with waterfall shower and one with normal shower and a full kitchen to create some magic with all the local produce from the area.

It's a great place to stay in for the day with a good book on the couch, watch one of our up to date movies or play a nice board game. We have all of these available and keep them updated. There is an enclosed garden area with small playground, BBQ facilities, out door games and dad has not been forgotten we got fishing rods and plenty of good fishing spots ready for you.

We had a wonderful stay and loved the house. It's so well renovated and thoughtfully designed. It was also so warm and cosy with a real log fire and heating for the chilly mornings. We especially loved the animals and farm tour, thank you so much. The breakfast food and nibbles were greatly appreciated too. You couldn't have done more. :)

The property was everything and more than described and in photos. Jolande and Matthew were incredibly friendly and helpful. The barn had everything you could want. The animals were adorable. There were 2 couples and 1 single adult and we loved everything available to us. This was a most interesting barn, warm and full of wonderful fixtures and furnishings. The beds were so comfortable. We loved the small town of Cygnet too and would highly recommend the area of wineries and apple cider cellar doors.

The Barn is a fabulous place to stay whether you are a party of 2 or 10. It exceeded all expectations, generously equipped kitchen ,funky bathrooms, spacious living room and bedrooms, sun drenched terrace with stunning views across cherry & apple orchards. We made friends with the goats (especially the kid escapee) & hens - no sightings of platypus this time but plenty more to distract you on a stroll to the dams. Cygnet & surrounding area is such a wonderful place to visit - kayaking, wine tasting, Cygnet Bakery, shopping are only a few things we got up to! Highly recommend, we will be back!

A wonderful short family farm stay
A wonderful short family farm stay
Matt and Jo are wonderful and very helpful hosts. The location of the farm was great, only a short drive to Cygnet, 20 mins to Kettering and 10mins to Huonville, and just across the road from Pagan Cider cellar doors (and by the way, we highly recommend their cherry cider... yum!) We have 3 kids, ages 10, 12 and 14. All 3 absolutely enjoyed their stays and time with the animals. And yes, there were heaps of animals to feed and play with. From hairy highland cows (and a very friendly bull), sheep, goats, pigs, gorgeous alpacas, ducks, and fluffy hens. There is also a platypus or two, but we did not get a chance to see it in our stay. would highly recommend the stay to any family with kids who love animals. we'll definitely try to make it back next time we are in Tassie.
