Farm Tour: Highland cattle and alpacas
​near Huonville about 50 minutes south from Hobart

Huon Valley Escapes is no longer promoting this farm tour. However there are lots of other things to do nearby.

1.5 Hour Farm Tour

Once your kitted out with farm boots, go for a stroll down to the chicken coop to collect some fresh eggs and gaze into the amazing eyes of the alpacas while you feed them.  Then take a ride in Julie’s 6 seater ATV to help feed and walk amongst the Highland Cattle and watch them play. Its an awesome experience   Then go for a tour down to the dam and the boat house and look out over the Huon River.  The country side is breath taking and the animals are incredible to watch, you’ll love it.
​The property is named “Highland Getaway’, not for the altitude but for the Highland Cattle roaming just outside your window, this is a working farm.
Your host, Julie, invites you to join her as she goes about the farm work on the six seater ATV. Tours of the property include feeding the Highland cattle and the lovable alpacas.
