A new B & B to suit one or two couples in comfort, with one spa room and couples share a private lounge with natural wood heater and all the comforts of home. Early morning sunshine floods the garden and balcony, water views and a gallery, provide ample time for reflection in a quiet country setting about 30 minutes from Hobart. Rates are $190 per night per couple including full, cooked breakfast.

Accommodation is set in a rambling and sensitively restored farmhouse among extensive flower beds and vineyard, rose garden, walks, native animals, Rosefield alpacas, taste pinot grapes ripe on the vine (April 2009). It's only a short stroll from the beach at Trial Bay, Kettering, Tasmania. We are only minutes from Peppermint Bay and access to the Ferry to Bruny Island. Opportunities galore for nature loves and adventure tourists, gourmet cuisine, great country coffee-shops, one hidden in the bush, and scenic shots to fill your memory (and your camera!)

You might have enjoyed the outstanding hospitality of your hosts Sue and Roger Bastone at their former establishments, Colville Cottage & Battery Point Guest House. If so, you'll likely find the time to enjoy a night or two at Rosefield.
