Country charm meets laid-back luxury, where time slows and hairy moos roam
Nestled among the rolling hills of the Huon Valley, just two minutes from the charming township of Cygnet, the Barn is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect.
Set on 40 peaceful acres, this relaxed country escape invites you to step away from the rush of everyday life and settle into a gentler rhythm — where long lunches, fresh air, and simple moments take centre stage.
At the heart of your stay is our beautifully restored 1935 apple barn, thoughtfully transformed into a warm and welcoming retreat for up to nine guests. Full of character and comfort, the Barn offers four spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms (including a waterfall shower), and a fully equipped kitchen for enjoying the incredible local produce the Huon Valley is known for.
Step outside and you’ll discover our outdoor kitchen — a special place to gather. Start your day with coffee in the fresh country air, or wind down in the evening sharing a meal as the sun sets over the paddocks.
Once a working apple orchard, the land has gently returned to a more natural rhythm. Today, the farm is home to a wild orchard, productive gardens, open paddocks, and a friendly mix of farm animals.
Guests are warmly invited to join our daily afternoon feeding tours — a simple and memorable way to experience farm life up close.
We also craft our own raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and small-batch artisan cider right here on the farm — a true taste of the region.
Take your time wandering the property, watching the light shift across the hills, and keeping an eye out for native wildlife. If you’re lucky, you may even spot our resident platypus in one of the dams.
Explore the Huon Valley Perfectly located, the Barn is an ideal base to explore the very best of southern Tasmania. Discover nearby beaches and fishing spots (rods available on request), or take a day trip to the Tahune Airwalk, Hastings Caves, Bruny Island, or the Salamanca Markets.
The region is also renowned for its vineyards, cafes, and restaurants — or visit local farm gates and bring home fresh produce to enjoy in your own kitchen.
Discover Cygnet Just minutes away, Cygnet is a vibrant country town known for its creative spirit and beautiful setting along Port Cygnet Bay. Popular with artists and musicians, it offers a mix of galleries, studios, and welcoming cafes. Enjoy a relaxed coffee or lunch at local favourites like the Red Velvet Lounge or the Port Hole Café, or head to the Red Velvet Lounge on Friday evenings for live music and delicious food.
Cygnet also has a bakery, supermarkets, butcher, and fresh produce store, along with local pubs for an easy meal.
On the first and third Sunday of each month, the farmers market (10am–3pm) is a lovely way to experience the region’s produce and community.
For a peaceful outing, Burton’s Reserve by the water is perfect for a picnic, stroll, or time with the kids.
The Barn Sleeps up to 9 guests 4 spacious bedrooms (2 king rooms, 2 twin king single rooms) 2 bathrooms (including waterfall shower) Fully equipped kitchen + outdoor kitchen Electric blankets on all beds Space for cots or a fold-out bed
A welcome hamper with breakfast provisions is included to help you settle in and start your stay slowly.

A fantastic place where they have thought of everything
Absolutely loved our stay at the Barn. The accommodation is super spacious, very comfortable beds and every little personal touch to make it feel like home. Our hosts Yolanda and Malcolm gave us a tour of their lovely farm and it was a real bonus being able to feed the animals each day we were there. Cannot recommend highly enough - we will definitely be back!

Beautiful accommodation in rural setting.
We had a wonderful stay and loved the house. It's so well renovated and thoughtfully designed. It was also so warm and cosy with a real log fire and heating for the chilly mornings. We especially loved the animals and farm tour, thank you so much. The breakfast food and nibbles were greatly appreciated too. You couldn't have done more. :)

Tranquility in Cygnet
The Barn is a fabulous place to stay whether you are a party of 2 or 10. It exceeded all expectations, generously equipped kitchen ,funky bathrooms, spacious living room and bedrooms, sun drenched terrace with stunning views across cherry & apple orchards. We made friends with the goats (especially the kid escapee) & hens - no sightings of platypus this time but plenty more to distract you on a stroll to the dams. Cygnet & surrounding area is such a wonderful place to visit - kayaking, wine tasting, Cygnet Bakery, shopping are only a few things we got up to! Highly recommend, we will be back!

Wonderful, Peaceful and comfortable.
The property was everything and more than described and in photos. Jolande and Matthew were incredibly friendly and helpful. The barn had everything you could want. The animals were adorable.
There were 2 couples and 1 single adult and we loved everything available to us.
This was a most interesting barn, warm and full of wonderful fixtures and furnishings. The beds were so comfortable.
We loved the small town of Cygnet too and would highly recommend the area of wineries and apple cider cellar doors.

A wonderful short family farm stay
Matt and Jo are wonderful and very helpful hosts.
The location of the farm was great, only a short drive to Cygnet, 20 mins to Kettering and 10mins to Huonville, and just across the road from Pagan Cider cellar doors (and by the way, we highly recommend their cherry cider... yum!)
We have 3 kids, ages 10, 12 and 14. All 3 absolutely enjoyed their stays and time with the animals. And yes, there were heaps of animals to feed and play with.
From hairy highland cows (and a very friendly bull), sheep, goats, pigs, gorgeous alpacas, ducks, and fluffy hens. There is also a platypus or two, but we did not get a chance to see it in our stay.
would highly recommend the stay to any family with kids who love animals. we'll definitely try to make it back next time we are in Tassie.

Great place for family
We had a lovely stay at Eden Farm Stay – The accommodation was great for our family of 4, we had a great outdoor eating area we used when the weather was good. There were lots of little additions inc. needle and thread, books, DVDs to make it feel like a home away from home and some complementary food items on arrival to help get you started that was great esp. as we arrived late at night. Matthew gave great feeding tours with our boys that allowed them to interact and feed the animals that was great. There was an area of the farm that has a bunch of fossils that made for a great morning exploring for the family. There was a fire pit we used one evening to toast marshmallow and a place Matthew showed us where the Pademelon could be spotted early evening. We borrowed the farms fishing gear one day to go down to one of the jetties for a fish. We had a week in the area and there was more than enough to keep us busy for all that time. A great area to visit and a great choice of accommodation.

Wonderful stay!
We loved our 2 night stay at Eden! Matt and Jo and so welcoming and wonderful hosts. The cottage was snug but perfect - even with 2 adults and 4 kids! It was the perfect place for two best friends to catch up on 6 years and have the kids entertained. We absolutely will be back.

Friendly Farmstay
Our stay at the farm was simply lovely. Jo and Matt are such friendly hosts. Accommodation was very comfortable and had everything we needed including breakfast supplies. Fresh eggs were a great bonus. Lovely surroundings. 2 min drive into Cygnet village. Central to exploring Huon Valley. Our 11 year old LOVED the stay - especially having Pancakes the rabbit living in her yard and getting to feed all the animals. The animals are all close by and it is lovely to wander around the property. I would highly recommend Eden Farmstay.

Comfortable Farmstay!
Overall a very nice Farmstay with lots of animals for both adults and children to see and feed. Both Jo and Matt are good hosts.
We rented both houses for a group of 12 persons. Excellent bedrooms. Only inconvenience is that there are only 1 bathroom and 1 toilet in each house, so that would require some queuing time for a big group in the morning and evening. .:)

So many things to do on and off Eden Stay Farm
Excellent place to spend your holidays. Great accommodation...lovely hosts...and amazing ways to spend your time. We only wished for more time. Highlights were fossil hunting, feeding the many farm animals and for the parents a safe fenced garden are for children to play...plus the goat soap is amazing. Well thought out accommodation, clean, homely and we appreciated the useful provisions. The surrounding area is amazing and has an overwhelming amount of places and activities to discover. Thank you Eden Farm Stay and Cygnet surrounds.

A fantastic getaway in the countryside!
We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Farmhouse at Eden Orchard. The house is very good for a large family and has all the necessities you need, including a cosy fireplace and lots of toys and games for the kids. This is a great place to stay for up to a week because it is so spacious and you can easily hang around the farm for a couple of days and just relax and pat the animals. Matt & Jo are so friendly and they really welcomed us to their farm. The kids (and we) loved to join Matt when he was feeding the animals and we had a really good time doing that. We stayed here in the end of May and I can only imagine how fantastic it is here in the spring, summer and early autumn. I wish we could have stayed longer! We highly recommend a stay at Eden Orchard & Farmstay!
