Curringa Farm Stay Tasmania

Curringa Farm is a working sheep and cropping farm at Hamilton in central Tasmania, run by sixth-generation farmers Tim and Jane Parsons. This stunning farm is the perfect spot for relaxing over a cuppa, watching the wildlife and trying out a slower-paced lifestyle.

The nine tucked-away cottages overlook the picturesque Lake Meadowbank and offer stunning sunset views. Each one is fully self-contained and comes with a freestanding bath, a spacious deck and a barbecue. They are spaced apart for privacy and ambience.

Up for some action? Curringa Farm Tours include watching a shearing demonstration, rounding up sheep with the farm dogs, guided forest walks and learning about the crops grown at the farm.

Key features

Play

Curringa Farm has 1300 mother sheep who give birth in September raising the number of sheep to about 3000 from September to December. Families can also meet the dogs, chooks, alpacas, horse and cows that live on the farm.

The Parson’s operate Curringa Farm using best practice farming with the animals spread out across the property.

Families can join a formal farm tour to see a sheep shearing demonstration. They can watch working farm dogs rounding up the sheep and join in-depth conversations about crops and land care. Curringa Farm’s conservation walk takes kids to see the native animals, plants and birds around the property and concludes with a morning tea with freshly baked scones, jam and cream with a cup of tea or coffee.

The open farmscape is great for exploring the conservation forests and wandering around the farm. Hydro owned Lake Meadowbank is only a few hundred meters from the cottages. Bring a boat or kayak to enjoy year-round fishing or boating, with appropriate licenses., or other recreation activities on the dam.
