Tasmania punches above its size with 14 farm stays, spread from the Huon and the Midlands to the north-west coast. Iron Creek Bay Estate at Sorell publishes one of the few concrete prices in this category — $5 per person for the farm-animal feeding, complimentary if you are staying in-house — with ducks, geese, alpacas, llamas, ponies and rabbits to meet. Mount Gnomon Farm at Penguin offers geodesic-dome stays plus a public program of markets, performances and farm-to-table events. Twamley Farm at Buckland runs guided and self-guided farm walks, fishing and a cooking school on a large working property. Pack layers and boots whatever the month.

These listings are desk-checked against each farm's own website, booking page or official social channel on the date shown — we don't book, inspect or endorse them. Session times, prices and availability change with the season, so confirm directly with the farm, and follow their safety, hygiene and animal-contact instructions on the day.
Prices aren't quoted on a common basis — some farms charge per person, some per family, some per night, and some fold the experience into general farm entry. Of the 13 listings on this page, 2 publish an indicative price; the rest ask you to check with the operator. Each farm's own page shows the pricing note we hold and links out, so confirm the current figure before you book.
We list 13 verified farm stays in Tasmania — each desk-checked against the farm's own website, booking page or official social channel on the date shown. Availability and seasonal activities change, so confirm directly with the farm before you travel.
Yes — almost all of the Tasmania farm stays listed here require advance booking. Working properties run to the animals' schedule, and hosted farms typically operate activity sessions on set times or by appointment. Each listing shows the access model and links to the farm's own booking page where one exists; don't arrive unannounced at a working property.
Closed-in shoes you don't mind dirtying are non-negotiable on any working farm — yards and animal areas are not sandal country, and several operators won't let children into the animal areas in open footwear. Bring layers for an early start, a torch for unlit tracks, sun protection, and any medication you rely on — the nearest chemist can be an hour away. Check whether the property supplies food and firewood or whether you need to bring your own; many are self-catering. Mobile reception is patchy at many rural Tasmania properties, so download your directions before you turn off the highway.
