Highland Getaway, Tasmania

This has answered all my expectations and more friendly clean and brushing the cows is an out of this world experience, it is impossible to walk away without a smile.
These animals are so loving and beautiful.

WOW, what a fantastic weekend away at Highland Getaway heaven. The host Family Val, Dereck and Julie were such a delight to chat with and loved talking about their farm and all the animals. The history of how this all came about is a story of perseverance and dedication and true family love. We did the farm tour and had an amazing up close encounter with the lovable highland cows and Alpacas. We could not get enough of these majestic and friendly animals and had more walks on the farm just to see them again. We stayed in the Spa Suite and had an enjoyable time soaking in the hot tub outside at night. We had the best sourdough bread i had ever tasted and other great options for breakfast. We used the BBQ to cook our dinner and had the best time. We highly reccomend this farmstay or just come on down for the tour. Thanks so much guys

Wow what a great experience the tour is, a must do!
Thank you Julie and Shoena we both loved it!
Hoping we will return soon to stay:)

We visited the farm yesterday and had a unforgettable experience with the highland cows. Julie the owner is amazing. The cows were gorgeous and loved to be brushed. Julie took photos while we were brushing the cows which I really appreciated. Julie also has prints for sale and I couldn't resist buying a few. I highly recommend a visit.

This is a must do. Even if you don’t stay you have to do the farm tour and brush the highland cows. 400-600kg puppies. They love being brushed. Julie’s story is inspirational and the farm is a credit to her ingenuity, tenaciousness, and determination. Must see when in Huon valley

Thank you so much Julie for sharing your highlands, alpacas, farm & story with us, we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our visit. From spending time brushing the gorgeous cows, feeding the alpacas, enjoying the views and hearing your story we couldnt have asked for anything more.
Purchased some gorgeous prints to take home as well.

Truly an amazing place that everyone needs to visit! Julie (and her parents!) has turned a group of grassy green paddocks into a place that is like no other experience in Tasmanian and shows that with determination, passion and drive that you can achieve your dreams no matter what life throws in your path! The love she has for the Highland Cows she cares for can be seen just from listening to her talk about them but then you get a tour around to pat, brush and play with these adorable gentle giants. The Spa suite is sensational, never thought we would love sitting in a 38deg hot tub at 10pm at night while being 2deg outside haha! An experience like no other, thank you so much for looking after us on our stay

A perfect farm stay getaway, stunning views and great opportunities to get up and close with the clearly well loved and cared for animals.

This is one of the best experiences you can ever have. The highland cows are simply gorgeous. The accommodation top notch with everything you need at your finger tips and hospitality was wonderful.

We plan to make this our annual getaway and would highly recommend to anyone that loves tranquillity, nature and can appreciate the comforts that this experience provides

An experience we won’t forget! This really is a must do if your in Tassie. We just loved our stay in the spa suite from meeting and talking with Julie, Derek and Val upon our check in. Waking up to the most amazing view and spending the chilly afternoons in the hot spa. Julie has created such an amazing experience all round even if you can’t stay, a farm tour is a must being around and brushing these beautiful highland cows is a real joy and appreciating the back story behind the hard work that has gone into its

We stayed with Julie for a long weekend and couldn’t have had a better time. The property was perfect, so well and thoughtfully appointed. Her cows are so lovely and meeting them was a highlight of the trip. Would recommend to anyone spending time in the Huon Valley.

I did a tour. It was great. They r sooo gentle. The tour was very informative. Staff were fabulous. Great environment. Beautiful. Loved it I do recommend to try it.

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Wish we could have stayed longer! The property is unreal and so well maintained, it’s so impressive to see how much hard work Julie has put into this place. Her work ethic is truely impressive.
I highly recommend everyone to go here asap! Thanks so much for having us we really enjoyed every second

Our family of two adults and three teen boys LOVED the farm tour! Brushing and patting the Highland cows, and feeding the alpacas and chickens whilst chatting to Julie was brilliant. She is so passionate about her animals! Four of the cows were pregnant and ready to give birth any day, and one of the mum’s had a nine day-old calf who ran playfully alongside us while we were brushing mum. So cute A highlight of our Tassie trip.

Julie the owner is one incredible woman. What she has created and allowed tourists like us to enjoy is nothing short of amazing. Worth the $85 plus alot more. The farm is so impressive and the highland cows are cutier and more charismatic than you could have ever imagined. To be able to cuddle, pat, brush and photograph highland cows for almost 2hrs was the best. Highlight of our 2wk trip to tazzy. Definately will do again next time and will even stay at the farm, the accommodation looks so tranquil. Thank you Julie and all the cows and calf's. Ginger is still my fav

Just loved our farm tour today, so interesting and the Highland cows are so gorgeous. Such a great experience being able to brush them they are adorable.
Thank you so much Julie.

Highly recommend a visit and farm tour - A fantastic experience with an amazing host whose passion and love for her animals really shines through.

Our family had an amazing time on the property and meeting all the animals. Highly recommend the farm tour!

Visiting Tasmania and love cattle? This is a must see and do. Be prepaired for a workout. Some cattle love a good hard brush

Highland Getaway is a must if visiting the Huon Valley or Hobart. Myself and two friends went on the Farm Tour with Julie and it was a highlight of our trip. Looking forward to returning and hopefully staying in the accommodation!
