Stay with us during the Tasmania winter Off Season for a unique experience.
What to do?
You have everything you need for a peaceful farmstay, however, if you are looking for places to eat, drink and experience, we are in the perfect gateway location to some of the most popular tourism offerings in Tasmania.
The Derwent Valley
The Derwent Valley (virtually the Valley next door) is a thriving tourist trail.
The Coal River Valley
The historic town of Richmond is also only a 40 minute drive away. There are many wineries, cafes and antique stores to browse.
Mount Field National Park
Mount Field is a stunning national park with dozens of different walks.
MONA
The world-renowned Museum of Old and New Art is only a 25 minute drive away towards Hobart.
Local Walks
If you feel like immersing yourself in nature and taking a walk, we recommend the Mount Dromedary walk. It leaves from New Norfolk and provides you with stunning views of the Jordan Valley and south down the Derwent River.
Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary
Bonorong is a rescue centre that offers close up viewing of endangered native animals. It is located just down the road in Brighton.
Heritage Towns
Oatlands, Bothwell and Kempton are ‘just up the road’ along the Midlands Highway.
Invercarron Wines
When staying at the hut, the fridge is always stocked with our very own Invercarron Wines.
We are the first vineyard in the Jordan Valley region (and with it its challenges), however our location is what makes us unique. The site for the vines was selected after a search of the property, settling on a north-facing block perched high above the valley. The site provides panoramic views of the region, you can see the sheep grazing, the tractor plowing the fields – all while standing amongst the vines of Invercarron Vineyard. It’s a very unique office.
After many soil tests, family discussions and research, the first vines were planted in 2017. Three generations of the Jones’s rolled up their sleeves to chip in and help out. We decided to plant Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines, due to the pristine cool-climate growing conditions in Southern Tasmania.
Our first vintage exceeded all expectations, with our Pinot Noir achieving a score of 93/100 from Huon Hooke. Being introduced to the wine world has been a steep learning curve, for all of us, but we are committed to putting The Jordan Valley on the map.
Like our pioneering ancestors, Invercarron Wines is breaking new ground in the Jordan Valley to ensure the Jones legacy remains for many generations to come.
