APOGEE TASMANIA

Tucked into the landscape of Fork it Farm in Northern Tasmania, The Ironstone is a peaceful one-bedroom country escape made for two. Perched on a hill overlooking the 44-hectare working regenerative farm, the self-contained cottage enjoys sweeping views across pasture, bushland and a neighbouring vineyard. Styled with the character of a traditional Tasmanian cottage, it combines old-world country charm with the comforts of a modern, completely off-grid stay. Wake to fresh country air and a generous breakfast featuring Fork it Farm's own bacon, eggs and other local provisions. Wander the gardens, pick fresh herbs, settle beside the fire, or simply find a sunny spot and enjoy having nowhere you need to be. Located in the heart of the Pipers Brook Wine Region, The Ironstone makes an ideal base for discovering nearby cellar doors, local producers and Tasmania's north-east. Guests can also pre-book an exclusive Behind the Scenes Farm Tour for a closer look at regenerative farming and Fork it Farm's paddock-to-plate story.

This is a hosted stay through Hipcamp, below is the information provided by the Host regarding their offering. Nestled in a small valley in the North East of Tasmania is this very special place - the moment you arrive you will feel the tranquility of lush green native forest, the singing birds, groves of man ferns, and not to mention the jewel of the location: the sparkling lake setting. Rain or shine, this area will speak to your heart. It has plenty of grass areas - both level and undulating for guests to mingle, and so many areas and backdrops for the perfect photoshoot. If you are seeing a very private bush setting for a truely stunning special event - be that a wedding, birthday or just a quiet weekend away - then look no further. It has been described as your own private gorge (referring to the Launceston Gorge) and in so many ways it is similar - but even better.

A quiet country retreat for couples and the solo traveler looking to pause, relax and enjoy the stillness of a rural setting. The house blends old and new, with touches of comfort and traditional country generosity. Located 30 minutes from Launceston in the heart of the Tamar Valley wine route. The one bedroom cottage sits in the paddocks of Summerlea Farm - a 6th generation owned and managed boutique farm producing quality Angus beef. Styled with vintage and up-cycled furniture creating modest country character. Finished with thoughtful comforts and small luxuries. Guests are invited to read a book, play a record or board game, or simply enjoy the stillness. The cottage is intentionally wi-fi and tv free for an opportunity to disconnect and relax. A backdrop of native bushland, open paddocks, and the winding Second River, with Mt Arthur on the horizon. A stainless-steel and cedar hot tub offers the chance to unwind, while wide skies and surrounding bush create a peaceful canvas.
