Self-contained Rustic Cottage with breakfast provisions included
Formerly the Shearers Cooks Cottage where meals were prepared by a cook and eaten by the shearers in a large living area, this one bedroom cottage has queen bed with electric blanket, chest of drawers and bedside tables.
Two single beds (original Shearers Stretchers) with electric blankets and double sofa bed are in the living area with well equipped kitchen and fireplace. There is a BBQ on the back verandah and an outdoor campfire. See more Cottage photos under Book.
There is one bathroom with shower, vanity, toilet, washing machine and iron. We provide washing powder as well as a hair dryer and TV! Board games are available from the homestead.
Pet friendly under certain conditions. Discuss your needs with Cally when booking. Owners must guarantee good control and take full responsibility for their pet as Rathmore is a working farm.
The Shearers Quarters and Rathmore Cottage both have well-equipped kitchens so you can self-cater during your stay at Rathmore. A popular option is to use the slow cookers so you have a delicious hot meal on your return from a day exploring the Derwent Valley. If you need inspiration, try Rathmore’s delicious recipes. A guest commented “We brought lamb and veggies and made the best country stew, with Cally’s home made relish. Yum!”
Dinner in Rathmore House with a glass of Tasmanian wine, canapes & dessert is available on request with 48 hours notice. Approximately $50 per person.
Cheese, charcuterie platters and picnic hampers are also available on request with 48 hours notice.
