Coach House at Lisdillon Estate

Rivulet and sea views, 19th-century charm, and rustic comfort await you in this rubble stone cottage situated on Lisdillon’s historic sheep farm and vineyard.

Settle in for a cosy weekend away; stroll on the private beaches, try your luck fishing, or sip on a glass of our award-winning wine.

It’s the perfect base to explore Tasmania's scenic East Coast, such as Coles Bay and Freycinet National Park (1hr drive) and Maria Island ferry (25 min drive).

The space
Rich with history, surrounded by native land and brimming with cosy, old-world appeal. Step back in time at The Coach House.

Built by convicts in the early to mid-1800s, this two-storey rubble stone cottage is the ultimate weekend getaway. Imagine as you wake up to sprawling sea views from your bedroom, then at night curl up by the fire with a glass of pinot noir.

Wander to Lisdillon’s 5km private coastline of three pristine beaches with just a few minutes walk or bask in the cottage’s quaint garden.

Cottage gardens
The Cottage has a large garden with views of the rivulet, perfect for lounging with a glass of sauvignon blanc in hand.

Two bedrooms
Make yourself at home in these spacious rooms—one with a king bed, the other with two single beds.
NOTE: The two single beds can be pushed together in case there are two couples staying but they do not form one big bed.

Open-plan dining & living
Enjoy a selection of board games, books, literature on Lisdillon’s history, or switch on the telly as you relax next to the crackling wood fire.

Modern kitchen
Everything you need for your morning coffee and tea, or to cook up a storm on the induction stove top with local ingredients you can pick up on a drive to Coles Bay.

Modern bathroom
Featuring beach views, a spacious shower, and a range of natural products available for you to use.

Private beach
Lisdillon Estate is one of the few lucky places in the world that has its very own private beach. Lisdillon's property extends to low tide mark so its boundaries grow bigger and smaller every second! Even though it is private and most of the time there won't be another person in sight you will occasionally come across other guests and people who rent shacks on the farm.

Private river
Take a moment to breathe and unwind on a quick stroll to the nearby river.

Lisdillon Wine
Taste and/or buy a bottle of Lisdillon's award winning Pinot Noir and Sav Blanc. Order once checked in and have it delivered to your door.

A fisherman’s haven
Trot down to the seafront of the Lisdillon Estate or rivulet and enjoy all the aquatic life on offer. We ask that all fish caught in the river and estuary are on a strictly catch and release basis (unless you are going to eat them) in order to preserve the environment of the river and estuary. Please only use lures, not bait hooks.

The sea out the front of our property offers bay flathead, salmon, squid cod, crayfish, and so much more. In the Lisdillon Rivulet, you’ll also find bream, oysters, brown trout, native galaxia and many other creatures.

THINGS TO NOTE:
- You have the entire cottage to yourself, however there is a small back part of the house that will be locked.


Follow us on @lisdillon_estate for more images.

Guest access
- Private river with plenty of fish to catch (and release).

Other things to note

Water consumption:
We switch between the river and tank water, although both are filtered and safe to drink, some people still prefer to bring their own.

The cupboard and kitchen has some cooking supplies which you are welcome to use (we will provide a more detailed list after booking). As we are located 21 km from the nearest town, we also advise guests to do their main grocery shopping before they get here.
