Well worth another visit

We had a great time. It was a lovely walk into the cafe in town and market on the Sunday. A peaceful setting with lovely surrounds conveniently centrally located for daily drives to other places we wanted to see. We joined our hosts for dinner one night and had some great conversations.

Great little cottage!

We loved our stay at Cherry Top Farm. The 2 bedroom cottage was perfect for us & a great base to explore the region. Short stroll to the Main Street & close by to hiking & wineries. We love the cute little touches in the cottage such as the herbs & peas.

Hidden Gem

Wow! What a fantastic place to finish off our trip to Tasmania. We booked for 4 nights and fell in love with our little cottage. Lesley met us on arrival and made us feel so welcome. Cherry Top farm is central to many tourist attractions in the Tamar Valley and John & Lesley provided a guide on their website to a variety of sites to visit in the area. The cottage was clean, beds were comfortable and the kitchen was adequately equipped if you want to cook meals. The fridge was a good size, the laundry facilities were a plus and overall there was a cosy vibe. We highly recommend this accommodation and say a big thank you to Lesley and John for welcoming us.

Idyllic

Thank you Lesley and John for a lovely stay at Cherry Tops. It was wonderful to spend some time walking around and learning about the things you do on the farm. The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Loved the lavender pillows! We would love to come back for a longer visit sometime!

VERY NICE, LOVELY QUIET AREA AND VERY COMFORTABLE

To be pet friendly, there should be a fence so pets are contained on the property. We are charged for the pet so it should go hand in hand.

Great place to stay!

This little cottage was lovely, clean and cosy, exactly what we were looking for with a young family after a long day walking in national parks we were able to cook some good food and relax. John was very welcoming and gave us some great local info. Highly recommended, we would definitely stay here again.

Friendly hosts, cosy cottage

We live in the city and love farmstays because it gives our kids a chance to really roam and explore. Cherrybrook met all our expectations twice over, our daughter fed horses and chickens, picked veggies and happily adopted the cat. The cottage was warm and very comfortable, private but with sweeping views across the valley. Overall a really great holiday with wonderful hosts, thank you!
