Great self contained sandstone cottage. The supplied Breakfast basket was awesome and provided a hearty breakfast for 2. The owner Shane was super helpful and nothing was an issue. Very well fitted out cottage, all you needed for a stay and then some. The fireplace was excellent for warming the cottage in the Winter weather and electric blankets were an extra comfort provided.

Our stay in the ‘Heritage cottage’ was exactly as described—quaint, cozy, and full of charm. The woodfire heater made it extra snug, and the setting was absolutely beautiful with rolling views and friendly alpacas, sheep, and chickens just outside.
The welcome breakfast pack was a thoughtful touch, with fresh locally sourced bread, milk, juice, eggs, and bacon. The kitchen was fully equipped, and having basic condiments already stocked made things super easy.
The three farm dogs were an unexpected delight—welcoming us warmly and happily joining us on our walks. Communication with the hosts was quick and easy, and everything felt well-organized and relaxed.
We only wish we could’ve stayed longer… and we definitely plan to come back.

Self contained cabin in the middle of farm country. Plenty of toiletries, breakfast provisions of fresh local fare, the pot belly stove was well stocked, electric blankets on the beds and a super friendly host to introduce us to the property then left us alone. Perfect! Add to that the gorgeous dogs to make you feel at home, plenty of local wildlife around and a coffee pod machine in the kitchen made it the perfect stay. My only regret is only booking 2 nights otherwise we could have really leaned into our stay. We'll definitely be back again.

Really nice host and really appreciated the locally sourced groceries provided on arrival. Place was a bit stuffy and dusty but overall was a really nice place. Really liked that it had some history to it and that we had a field of sheep and alpaca right outside.

Great hosts. Very private cottage with rural views. Lovely breakfast hamper supplied, with farm fresh eggs. One of Tassie's top short walks was just around the corner. A bit over an hour's drive to Cradle Mountain, and not far from caves and waterfalls. The hot tub on the deck was perfect after a day of walking at Cradle Mountain.

We loved our stay at Blackwood Cottages. Property was absolutely beautiful and our hosts were amazing and so friendly. Loved hearing about the history of the property and especially thankful for the delicious local produce provided (such a wonderful surprise). The Hobbit Cottage was just gorgeous and we loved having a fire at night (it was cold enough for us Queenslanders!). Spectacular views from all around, and we loved wandering around the farm with the friendly dogs! Couldn't have asked for a better experience on our holiday, I'd recommend it to everyone. Thank you so much!!

Incredible location. We stayed in an Ariel cottage with the spa on the deck. It was private and the spa was preheated for our afternoon arrival. Fresh farm eggs and bread. Fireplace was amazing. Bed was super comfortable. Incredible views to wake up and fall asleep to. Shane was welcoming, personable, informative and helpful. Easy access to Cradle Mountain. Highly recommended for a weekend getaway, special occasion or base to explore tge region. AMAZING.

My dream holiday place.

Have stayed through three owners and every trip has been great, so I will keep going back as it is always a fabulous place.
The Hobbit Cottage has always been my favourite and now I will have to get in early if I want to stay again as everyone will want to stay there. There lovely couple who own it now are a delight to meet and working hard adding their personal touches to an already great place. So many areas from this base and it’s nice to come home to the peace and quiet.

Tranquil location

Stayed in the hobbit and exceeded expectations of what we expected in Tasmania, one of our memorable stays. Charming and inviting cottage, pictures don't do it justice.
The location was majestical and refreshing. Belinda made us feel welcome and had kindly made us home made bread (which we had forgotten to buy before coming), fresh eggs, honey and muffins.
The locals (animals) were one of the highlights for me.

Scenic, peaceful country setting, close to caves

We stayed in the Hobbit house which was lovely. I particularly appreciated the gluten free supplies that were left in the kitchen for our breakfast. They were plentiful and of a high quality. There were also fresh eggs, some of them were blue! Thank You! We really enjoyed the pot bellied stove in the fireplace with wood supplied. It was very effective at heating the room and was lovely to sit and look at. The fresh flowers on the table were a special touch. The beds were comfortable and had very good warm blankets. There was a great outdoor area, including a seat overlooking fields with lamas. A colourful rooster and hens wandered around the yard. Lovely! It was a short drive to the spectacular caves which we really enjoyed. We also visited the Trowunna wildlife park where we learnt about Tasmanian devils, wombats etc. We also had a short bushwalk at the nearby Alum Ciffs. We had a very relaxing and interesting time here and would love to return sometime.

This place is among the best.

Been here before and came back so my Grandchildren could enjoy the experience. It was again everything I expected. The freedom to roam the farm and countryside is delightful. This is a great place to relax and unwind. There is nothing to want for and places of interest are only minutes away. My next visit to Tassie will include another stopover here.

Bliss in the country!

We were after good, clean, private accommodation in a quiet country setting. Blackwood Park Cottages not only met our criteria, but exceeded it in every way! Our cottage (the Hobbit Cottage) was just lovely, surrounded by beautiful manicured gardens and alpacas and sheep in adjacent paddocks. And only a short walk away within the property, you have the most commanding views of Mole Creek and the countryside. We very much look forward to our next stay!!

Gorgeous cottage in idyllic setting

We had a wonderful time and will surely go back. The lovely reconstruction of a convict-built cottage is set in beautiful gardens on a quiet property with views of the western tiers. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful, and provided fresh-baked bread, butter, eggs, milk and juice. The cottage has a lovely layout, views, alpacas over the back fence, a pot-belly stove and modern bathrooms and kitchen. For a quiet getaway it's hard to imagine better!

とても居心地が良く、住みたくなるコテージ！

※ モールクリークの、トロワナ ワイルドライフ パーク(Trowunna Wildlife Park)の側にあります。
トロワナワイルドライフパーク前の大きな道から少し中に入った森の中にあります。

コテージは2棟あって、私たちは「hobit」という方に2泊しました。
コテージはとても可愛らしく、モデルハウスのよう！
ベッドルームは、2部屋ありました。

キッチンには、奥さん手作りの美味しい食パンや、ここの庭で飼われている鶏や七面鳥の卵のほか、冷蔵庫には、ケチャップ、マスタード、バーベキューソース、牛乳、オレンジジュース(100%ジュースでかなり美味しい！)、イチゴジャム、マーマレードジャムそして手作りのバター(すっごく美味しい！)が入っていました！
また、オリーブオイル、塩、コショウ、ステーキ用ペッパー、ハチミツ、ジップロック、アルミホイルなども、一通り完備されていて、全てフリーです！

このホテルは動物やお花でいっぱいで、ヤギ・アルパカ・鶏たちが飼われています。
赤ちゃんヤギに、ミルクをあげさせてもらいました！
また、家庭菜園のアスパラとかをいただいて、夕食に使いました。
夜は、ポッサムやカンガルーやワラビーなどの動物がやってきます。
コテージの真ん前にもワラビーがいたりして、ビックリしました！

オーナー夫婦は、とっても優しくてフレンドリーでお話好き！
人柄にとっても惹かれました。
また、行きたいコテージです！
