Great stay
We loved our stay at the barn. It was so peaceful and the views were amazing. The barn was comfortable and warm and had everything we needed. With lots of homely touches, such as milk, bread a bottle of wine etc. Neil was a great host, more like a long lost friend, who was happy to chat and give information and advice. We would definitely recommend Hilltop Barn and Neil as a host and look forward to returning on our next trip to Tassie.

Five Nights at Hill Top Barn
We liked staying here. It is an excellent base for exploring the district and is about a 15 minute drive from Launceston. This is a very private and quiet location set in woodland several hundred metres from the highway with a long view north to the Tamar River. The barn is clean and well-appointed with spacious living areas. The wood heater provides excellent heating. There are column heaters as well.

Great base for Launceston
We used Hilltop Barn as a home away from home for 5 weeks, excellent base for exploring Launceston and surrounds. 20 min drive into town, halfway between the city and coastal George Town, 5 min to Hillwood berry farm, lovely view of the river, completely private and set back far from the road. Warm place with great insulation, and column heaters as well as the woodburner heater. Kitchen had everything we needed though heating up leftovers was sometimes annoying without a microwave. Neil provided a good amount of firewood for our stay. He was easy to get in touch with and told us everything we needed to know about the property.

Great for a short for two
Great position, easy to find, neighbour's have a car park out the back of theirs that looks a little off putting at first, however once inside the barn it is not visible. Loads of wood for the fire lying around. Toasty when the fire is up and going. Could do with a few more utensils in the kitchen, a few soft furnishings and a hair dryer for those of us who are fussy. A lovely touch with the wine, milk , bread and jams. Great communication with Neil. Wallabies by the bucketful around the barn in the evening and morning!!

A quiet little get away
I was attracted to the Hilltop barn from seeing it online. It lived up to our expectations. We had everything we needed. It was a quiet and peaceful hide away which provided the feeling of isolation and remoteness despite having other residents nearby. Nice view of Tamar river. Location gives great access to Georgetown and Beauty point to the north and Launceston to the south. We loved the bush setting as we are used to camping and staying in similar places.
