Brickendon Estate - UNESCO World Heritage Site & Accommodation

A beautiful historic farm run by original owners, the Archers. Plenty of animals that include sheep, lambs, cows, calves, dogs, chickens and the turkeys displaying their tail feathers. We visited on a lovely sunny day and sat outside to enjoy a scrumptious Devonshire tea and coffee, with the biggest scones I have ever seen and homemade jam. Weddings are held here and accommodation is also available. The main house is lovely from the outside and the gardens are beautiful. Well worth a visit!

We really enjoyed our time here, the convict building here are beautiful and surprising well maintained and presented. The animals were a bit of a side attraction but where still pretty fun to interact if your into animals. If you're in the area brickendon is definitely worth checking but it isn't really a full day activity and should pair it with a few other attractions.

Amazing spot and we had been lucky enough to stay in a cottage there. Animals everywhere and heaps of historical eye candy from our past for any history buff. It is fantastic to see such buildinga from the 1800's

Two different experiences are available at the estate, one side is the old convict village and farm, with lots of interesting artefacts from the 1800's and the Archer families history. On the other side of the road is the house and its extensive and stunning gardens. Highly recommend both but if you prefer you can do one or the other. The lovely lady at the front desk is a gem and we had the best damper scones!

As an annual visitor to Tassie i am always trying to find a mini adventure before hopping on the boat to travel back to the mainland. This is one of my favourite overnight stays. An historic homestead surrounded by animals. The staff are relaxed and welcoming. We always stay for a few extra hours to join in with the morning feeding routine for the animals which always includes a few calves and lambs needing a bit of extra help. It is such a lovely spot. The homestead homestays are so old that I have to duck my head in the doorways. It is quite the experience.

We had a seamless and very friendly check-in for our one night stay in the Old Farm cottage. This working farm is full of history, and well worth the investigation. Beautiful landscape, old buildings, and animals, perfect for a relaxing visit, and for great photography. We loved every moment.

An interesting UNESCO site displaying convict built structures, plus the family history around the farm make it a very interesting site to visit Well worth the visit

We stumbled on Brickendon Estate on a rest stop between Bicheno and Cradle Mountain, and boy are we glad we did. It’s one of the 11 Australian Convict UNESCO sites, still very well preserved and informative about one of the more gloomy parts of Tasman history. Genevieve was very lovely and informative, giving us a little run down of the place before giving us the chance to roam around the grounds and gardens across the road. We didn’t have much time for the stop, but if we did we definitely would have stayed for the video showing that goes into depth about the history of the place. Super interesting and definitely worth the stop.
