    Fabulous accommodation! The property has been brilliantly renovated and beautifully decorated. Warm, cosy, lots of terrific books to flick through while relaxing with a glass of wine in front of the fire. I would love to stay again at...

Raffah House is situated in the heart of Tasmania, this majestic sandstone cottage has recently undergone an extensive cosmetic overhaul inside and out to convert this beautiful 1840s home into modern, contemporary 'low key luxe'. 3 bedrooms - 2 queen beds & 2 singles perfect for the kids or it can easily be converted to an indulgent king bed. All decked out in cloud soft, french linen and luxurious pillows, doonas and toppers to ensure you have the most relaxing sleep possible. The spacious kitchen is kitted out with all the amenities to ensure you’re comfortable whilst whipping up a storm for your friends or family, like you’re in your own home. We provide a very simple pantry of muesli, olive oil, salt and pepper, black tea & coffee pods for guests. The bathroom has a large double vanity, heated flooring, lavatory, generous double bath and a walk in shower, finished off beautifully with local Tasmanian made and owned Lentara Grove body wash, shampoo & conditioner. There is also a second separate lavatory. The laundry has a washer & dryer, along with washing powder you're welcome to use throughout your stay.
My husband and I are situated only a short drive down the road on our family sheep & cropping property. So we are always available to help out with any queries or concerns you may have. We try to give our guests as much space and independence we can and have a key safety box situated on the property to ensure you gain access in your own time and discretion. But please know that we are available to assist when needed.
Raffah House is centrally located in Oatlands, an easy 50 minute drive to Hobart which has the Salamanca Markets every Saturday, Museum of Old & New Art (MONA) with loads of restaurants and cafes in direct proximity. Richmond is a short 40 minute drive away surrounded by antiques, wineries and eateries in the Coal River Valley. The East Coast of Tasmania with the stunning Freycinet National Park is a beautiful one and a half hour road trip away with wineries and walks. The famous Agrarian Kitchen is 50 minutes drive away in Lachlan, next to New Norfolk which has the Drill Hall Emporium. Oatlands itself has the Callington Mill and soon to open Distillery. Lake Dulverton and for a spot of shopping Provincial Interiors/The Jardin Room & Elm Cottage Store. Dine out at Heartlands Larder where you can also pre order heat and eat meals which you can easily prepare from the comfort of the Raffah kitche. There is also the Kentish Hotel with also has a great little bakery with exceptional coffee, Pancake & Crepe Shop, The Imbibers Wine Bar (bookings essential).
