Shared Facilities & Grounds



Beyond the comfort of your private chalet, guests have access to shared facilities and expansive grounds designed to enhance the rural experience. Whether you are enjoying a quiet morning among the gum trees or preparing for a day of exploring Tasmania, these spaces are available for all guests.



Shared Amenities

A dedicated external laundry hut is equipped with a modern washing machine, dryer, ironing board, and iron, ideal for longer stays.

In addition to your private deck, a larger sheltered communal dining space is available. It features a gas BBQ and a spacious outdoor table, perfect for gathering with fellow guests and enjoying a meal in a different part of the property.



Note to guests: Please ensure the laundry door is securely latched after use to prevent local wildlife from entering.

While the chalet was previously part of the “Helmat Farmstay,” the property no longer operates as a farm stay. It now offers a peaceful and private bush retreat experience.
