Elvenhome Farm Cottage, TAS

Elvenhome Farm Cottage offers an eco-holiday farm experience at Weegena, near Deloraine in Tasmania's north. Hand built and cultivated for over twenty years, the farm is bio-dynamic and employs permaculture design principles on the property. The farm showcases a diversity of environmentally sustainable living.

The unique self-contained cottage features bamboo floors and artisan-crafted blackwood windows. There are two bedrooms, one with a queen bed suite and the second having comfortable twin bunks. The separate dining and living areas have a warm and spacious feel. A fully-equipped kitchen is stocked with continental breakfast provisions and seasonal farm produce will be available for you to sample. A sun-drenched patio is a perfect place to relax and enjoy magnificent views and birdlife.

The farm is nestled in native bushland, with its five-acre grounds transformed into orchards, kitchen gardens and animal runs. A substantial orchard of fruits, nuts and berries, along with a vegetable garden, milking goats and laying hens provide plentiful supplies of product year-round.

Within walking distance are opportunities for swimming, fishing, bushwalking and bird watching. Farm workshops in sustainable living are available daily.

Weegena is around a 40-minute drive (40 km) south of Devonport.
