Brickendon

Tasmania


Historic Brickendon has three 1830s cottages – built by convicts to house the estate's coachman and gardener – and three newer self-contained farm cottages with old-style trimmings. All have fully equipped kitchens; the 1830s cottages have laundries, and the farm cottages have wi-fi. Staying here will fully immerse you in Tasmania's colonial heritage. Cottages sleep two to seven.
