Immerse yourself in the ultimate nature experience as you unwind at Arden Retreat. The Croft at Arden Retreat is a private, design-led cabin stay in bushland just outside Richmond, in Tasmania's Coal River Valley. Set among the gum trees, this two-bedroom retreat offers seclusion, warmth and a slower pace, with generous decks, thoughtful interiors, a wood-fired hot tub and an outdoor fire pit. Created for guests seeking privacy, stillness and time to reconnect, The Croft is a place to settle in and exhale. Mornings unfold slowly, afternoons stretch out on the deck, and evenings are shaped by firelight, forest air and dark skies. Just five minutes from Richmond and around 30 minutes from Hobart, The Croft feels quietly removed while still being close to wineries, historic sites, galleries and local dining. It is well suited to couples, and also works beautifully for a small family escape. Guests may also choose to book the onsite Arden Bathhouse separately, subject to availability.

Hatchers Manor Richmond offers self-contained accommodation on a working farm, just a stone's throw away from Richmond. Hatchers Manor is on a 100-acre farm and apricot orchard on the Coal River, a 25-minute drive from Hobart. Built in the gothic revival style, you'll be entranced by the sight of the round tower, steeply pitched roof, hand-painted decor and mullioned windows. Sleep in a four-poster king or queen-size bed in one of our rooms which all have ensuite facilities, spa baths, and antique furnishings. The self-contained two-bedroom cottage has full cooking facilities and accommodates up to five people. Start your day with a hearty country breakfast in our own coffee shop then perhaps stroll through the orchard and pastures, and meet the farm animals. Hatchers Richmond Manor is also an animal wildlife refuge, so you can also meet the wildlife. Hatchers Richmond Manor is within walking distance of Australia's finest Georgian village, Richmond, with its fine Georgian cottages, Australia's oldest working bridge, and a convict jail that predates Port Arthur. Their coffee shop/restaurant also offers cream teas in the afternoon and delicious home-cooked dinners in the evening. They also offer free Wi-Fi to all of their guests.
