Ratho Farm
Heritage Tasmania Countryside Retreat with Australia’s Oldest Golf Course & Daily Breakfast
Discover a love of romance, great golf, fun festivals, rich history and highland scenery at Ratho Farm, a blissfully secluded boutique country retreat hidden in Tasmania’s lush central highlands. Ideally located a scenic one-hour drive north of Hobart on the cusp of Bothwell Village, this charming heritage property offers a collection of carefully restored farm cottages, barns, stables and a historic homestead.
Surrounded by the manicured greens of Australia’s oldest golf course dating back more than 150 years, Ratho Farm is a place for learning, laughing and re-connecting. This historic site is perfect for travellers visiting the island for one of Tasmania’s many colourful, wild winter festivals, or as a weekend getaway from the city.
Ratho Farm is nestled in Tasmania’s serene Central Highlands, just outside the historic village of Bothwell. With a stay here, you’ll be surrounded by nature, but also within easy reach of some of the country’s best distilleries, cheesemakers and local producers. The property is an approximately one-hour drive north of Hobart and Hobart Airport (HBA). Airport transfers are not included in your package; please plan accordingly.
