 Kates Berry Farm

Kates Berry Farm is located in Swansea on Tassie's stunning East Coast, approximately 138km north-east of Hobart.

The café occupies a gorgeous position, with the berry farm in the foreground and views of Freycinet in the background. There is indoor and outdoor seating available - we recommend sitting outside to take in the view.

The menu offers a combination of sweet and savoury dishes, which are the perfect size for lunch or a morning / afternoon treat. 

If you're in the mood for something savoury, a range of toasted sandwiches and crepes await you.

If you have your heart set on something sweet, you can indulge in scones, humbleberry pie, blueberry raspberry and apple pie, French crepes, pancakes or hot oozing chocolate cake. 

Each dessert either highlights, or is complemented by, berries from the farm.

We feasted on crepes filled with scallops, prawns, fish, sweetcorn, vegetables, cream cheese and herbs. The crepes were light and airy and the filling was creamy and bursting with flavour and seafood.

We love scones, so of course we had to order some freshly baked scones with freshly whipped cream and jam. The scones were incredibly light and fluffy and were an absolute joy to eat. The scones come with your choice of jam, which is actually a difficult choice (first world problem we know), made so much easier by being able to taste all of the jams in the shop.

We also enjoyed a slice of warm humbleberry pie (made with raspberries, boysenberries and blackberries), served with vanilla bean ice cream. This pie was spectacular: it was generously filled with berries and the pastry was melt-in-your-mouth rich and short. The ice cream was so creamy and was the perfect accompaniment for a slab of berry pie.

While you're at Kates Berry Farm, make sure you visit the shop and browse the jams, chutneys, relishes, sauces, chocolates and dessert wine for sale, all produced by Kate.

  Drift Away Organic Shack is a peaceful retreat for two located in Police Point, approximately 73km south of Hobart. Ideal for a couple, this cute studio has stunning views of the Huon River. The shack is located on the owner's residential property, but as the main house is set well behind the shack, the house and its inhabitants go unnoticed. The idea with this shack is to relax - read a book, drink in the view, cook a meal on the outdoor fire pit or enjoy a relaxing bath in the...........drumroll.............outdoor tub. Or, of course, do all of the above! The bushland setting offers privacy and the local birdlife creates a gorgeous natural soundtrack. The shack itself has a double bed, small kitchenette with mini fridge, shower, couch, an outdoor setting for the deck, an outdoor setting near the fire pit and an outdoor bath. Jemma, the friendly and welcoming owner, provides freshly laid eggs from the resident hens, milk, tea, coffee, a selection of jams, vegemite, butter, a fre...

Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave

 Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave PUFF-O-METRE   THEN OVERVIEW This is a beautiful day walk that follows some rugged coast line, stunning views and ends at a gorgeous beach with huge dunes. It starts at a large carpark, but it needs to be as this area is a very popular location. The carpark has a lovely viewing platform for some of the coastal cliffs. It also has shelter and public toilets available. Before setting off towards Crescent Bay, it's worth the ten minute delay to head down the staircase to enjoy the view at the Remarkable Cave. It's a bit like a horizontal blowhole however it's far more open therefore you don't get the big burst of water upwards. With that done, it's time to head along the other track towards Crescent Bay. This track is a bit up and down however the elevation doesn't change more than 20m so at no stage does it feel overwhelming. The track is even wide/smooth enough to be able to take off-road prams to the beach. Along th...
