ACCOMMODATION

Cleburne Homestead is a jewel of authentic Colonial architecture, hidden in a loop of the East Derwent Highway only fifteen minutes from the Hobart GPO. It is registered with the National Estate and the National Trust. The sandstone Barn, Cottage and Homestead cluster round a tree-sheltered courtyard on four acres of grounds where peacocks stroll and alpacas graze.
Each suite is unique but all have original colonial features that contrast with modern furnishings for your comfort.

FACILITIES

The Dining Room, once the Cleburne family's ballroom, is available to all guests. The early morning sun shines through three large french windows at the eastern end of the room, and during summer, tables are available on the verandah. Please feel free to explore our four acres of grounds, where our small herd of Alpacas roam freely and enjoy being handfed,

ART

Cleburne offers a unique art/heritage experience. Our modern art collection is on display in every room. The collection includes outstanding Tasmanian painters  John Lendis, Peter Stephenson, Wayne Brooks and Helen Hopcroft. 
MONA, the Museum of Old and New Art, so close to Cleburne, is very exciting for us. We think it is the most audacious cultural event and has changed forever how Tasmania is viewed by travellers. For more information on MONA and other galleries go to our 'Things To Do' page.

THINGS TO DO

HERITAGE

Built on the bank of the River Derwent during the 1830's, Cleburne was once a vast country estate and home to wealthy merchant, politician and country gentleman, Richard Cleburne. Cleburne Homestead offers you the opportunity to stay in his early Colonial farm buildings. Our alpacas, sheep and peacocks contribute to the farm yard atmosphere.  Our conversion, in cooperation with Heritage Tasmania, is a unique mix of new and old. To learn more about the history of Cleburne Homestead go to our 'Heritage' page.
We acknowledge Tasmanian Aborigines as the traditional owners of the land on which these buildings stand and honour the Mumirimina people who were killed at the Risdon Cove massacre in May 1804.
