A fantastic stay at a lovely hotel. The surrounding areas were beautiful and the hotel was lovely and clean. The kitchen facilities were really useful and staff were very friendly and helpful with advice about our stay. Being able to feed animals and go fruit picking was wonderful and we enjoyed it very much. I would definitely stay here again.

A short drive from Hobart Airport. If you’ve already done Hobart and are looking to drive up the East Coast, it’s the ideal first stop.

The farm stay is a very cool property and we should have loved everything about it-but we didn’t. Check in is confusing and dropping bags at the room is problematic on a one way road with no where to pull over. Once we got to the room it was beautiful and looked out over the farm-and the bay-breathtaking. We enjoyed a beautiful walk before dinner-the food was delicious. However the service, especially for cocktails was slow and inexperienced. The cocktail list was extensive-but they didn’t even have basic ingredients or knowledge on making them! No citrus, cherries or sugar cubes!! I believe it is a new property and it hasn’t really taken off yet-the location near the Hobart airport is a huge plus, so I hope things improve.

Interaction with the animals was brilliant. Having the Alpaca's come right up to our balcony when eating, and chilling was awesome. Cleanliness is what let things down a little, which was all the poop and stuff on the chairs and table on the balcony, and a fair amount of dust in various parts of the room. Overall it was fair, and as it was a short stay, not being able to sit and have breakfast with the Alpaca's wasn't a deal breaker. Just would have been nice if that area was a little cleaner. The restaurant was awesome as well. Food was delicious, and good service. Ended up eating breakfast and dinner there. Parking was a bit tough. Recent rain had turned the parking nearest to our room (still a bit of a walk) into a mud pit. We were in building 12 I think. Other than that, a nice peaceful stay, and would go there again. Glad I found the place.

Loved the quiet farm appeal. Feeding the farm animals was a really nice boost of endorphins. The mushroom pasta at the on site cafe bistro was amazing. Staff were friendly. Rooms and site are wheelchair friendly. We stayed in wing 6 that contained 5 ensuited rooms with shared hall and kitchionette with 5 star hotel cuttlery, don't think backpacker think luxurous perfect for wedding or familiy groups wanting their own rooms and space. Also loved watching the night stars via the skylight.

Loved the setting, the animals, the linen, the peace and quiet. Parking was a little arkward, but not a big deal. Loved the rooms and finish, just thought the art was yuck. Could have had some canvas of local scenes, or even the animals.

Our stay at Iron Creek Bay Farm was amazing expect when I asked for a separate room as my partner snored and I need another room. The room I was placed in didn’t have hot water and only had warm water. I informed the staff and they tried to fix the issue but it was not resolved. Otherwise, I have to say my stay was relaxing, enjoyable and I would certainly go back again. I would just make sure I have hot water if I need a separate room.

Slightly quirky hotel & associated restaurant/cafe (different building with no covered walkway approx 300m apart) Good location for airport, wonderful views, excellent (but not cheap) restaurant, the standard rooms are small, clean and modern but basic with limited soundproofing between rooms (more like student accommodation). Need to have a car to travel into the local town if you require alternative meal options.

We had a great stay! Very peaceful environment with beautiful scenes. Only a short 30ish minute drive to Hobart city, you have the convenience of that with the beautiful serene feel of the farm stay! Staff were lovely and very helpful. We stayed on a few hot days too and considering the room had no aircon, the air flow was quite nice and it didn’t get too hot. We ate at both the cafe and restaurant and the food was so delicious (just don’t eat there if you are in a rush, services was a little slow) Would happily stay there again and definitely recommend!
