Woolmers Estate

We throughly enjoyed the Woolmers Estate tour, such knowledge of history and culture. We were immersed back in time. How exquisite to see the personal items of the generations who lived in the House. The architecture of the house is such grandeur and classy. The wood and brick used, just fascinating. What a vision! The roses garden was amazing we felt like we were back in time. How they lived in comparison to modern time is definitely amazing. I highly recommend the house tour and experience the amazing history of the house and the rose garden. Very organised and educational tour. One of the best in Australia. Grateful to the volunteer's dedication in sharing the knowledge and culture that made Australia today. The visit to the Woolmers Estate and Rose Garden is a must! Very enjoyable indeed.

Beautiful and quaint little cottage on the estate, very clean and tidy, the bed and pillows were super comfortable and cosy. Linen and towels were lovely and clean. Appreciated the small glass of port to have by the fireplace. Kitchen had all the essentials, although it would have been nice to have had a small local hamper of breakfast goodies, considering the price. But otherwise we loved our stay here and really enjoyed wondering the estate and enjoying the peace and quiet of the countryside. Everything was in great condition especially considering the age of the property, the stairs do creek but it’s to be expected and not really a bother. The fresh water provided would be easier to manage if it was in a proper stand alone water dispenser with a proper tap.

Beautiful historic homestead and property. The homestead is like a time capsule with some rooms practically unchanged for the past 40 to 50 years. Also fascinating to see how the property was updated with power and heating over the years. Highly recommended.

The Woolmer Estate is a beautiful example of the elegant farm houses of the period. We didn't see inside the main house but the other old farm buildings, particularly the cider room and the shearing shed, were fascinating and the gardens are spectacular.

Wilmer’s Rose Festival was truly magical except for the live band screaming through the microphone. We ended up only staying an hour which was a shame. Trying to even talk to the stall holders close by was very difficult

We stayed in the Gardener's cottage. It was an absolute delight. I loved the feeling of stepping back in time. The cafe was really nice tho doesn't serve alcoholic drinks. But the hot chocolate was delicious. Also the history is interesting. Knowledgeable tour guides. A walk through the rose garden is particularly nice.

We paid $30 each and couldn’t view the main house or many of the other buildings as tours were extra and only run twice a day. We were also here 12 years ago and got to see everything back then. This time round I’d saved the “best” for last on our 10 day Tassie trip and felt so let down that access to the buildings was so limited.

I thoroughly enjoyed a two-day stay at the charming Shepherds Cottage, nestled within the breathtakingly beautiful Woolmers Estate. This incredible destination is one I’ll undoubtedly return to in the future. The check-in and check-out process was seamless, allowing me to settle in and begin exploring right away. The highlight of my visit was the self-guided tour of the estate, included in the accommodation cost. The rich history, stunning period buildings, and meticulously maintained gardens were truly captivating, all set against a backdrop of picturesque countryside. The cottage itself was wonderfully cosy, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The wood fire added a warm and inviting touch, keeping the entire space snug throughout my visit. It was a truly memorable experience, and I look forward to returning again.
