Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Step inside this historic converted stable, now a charming mudbrick loft and feel the embrace of rustic Tasmanian country life. Surrounded by lush gardens, serenaded by birdsong and visited by wallabies at dusk and dawn, this is a place where time slows down. Cosy up by the fire as night falls and watch the Milky Way light up the sky — the perfect setting for a romantic weekend escape.

The space
Wake to the soft light filtering through the trees, their silhouettes dancing in the morning breeze just beyond your window. The air carries the scent of native blossoms, mingled with the sweetness of orchard fruit and fresh herbs from our ever-evolving garden — a space we lovingly tend, where creative projects are always blooming.

Start your day with complimentary treats — freshly ground coffee beans and free-range eggs from our happy hens — the perfect pairing with gourmet goodies you've gathered from local farm gates and markets along the way. Whether you're brewing a slow morning coffee or preparing a cosy meal in the kitchen, the comforts of home are right at your fingertips.

Outside, the lush private gardens invite you to slow down and truly unwind — wander winding paths lined with fragrant plants, find a quiet nook to read, or perch on the garden swing with your thoughts. As dusk falls, gather around the fire pit beneath Tasmania’s crystal-clear night sky, wrapped in woollen blankets, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories under a canopy of stars.

The warm, textured mudbrick walls — built with care and steeped in history — hold the promise of cosy winter evenings and cool summer mornings, all balanced perfectly with modern air conditioning for year-round comfort. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped for preparing slow breakfasts or showcasing Tasmania’s incredible local produce. Unlimited hot water invites you to linger in the shower a little longer, while Starlink internet keeps you reliably connected — whether you’re working remotely or simply checking in from your peaceful country escape.

Perfect for couples or groups of friends, The Stable Lofts offer both privacy and space to reconnect, relax, and embrace the slower rhythms of simple country life. Just 12 minutes from Launceston and surrounded by northern Tasmania’s treasures, you’ll be perfectly placed to explore local distilleries, charming towns, scenic trails, and unforgettable food experiences — and we’re always happy to share our favourite hidden gems and local tips to help you make the most of your stay.

The Stable Lofts are a thoughtfully designed, adults-only retreat. Each of the four mudbrick lofts is fully self-contained and made for two, offering the perfect mix of privacy and shared experience. Ideal for couples or friends travelling together, you’ll each have your own sanctuary while staying close by.

My work: The Stable Lofts
Lives in Carrick, Australia
Hi, we’re Innes and Nicole! We traded city life for Tassie in 2003 and haven’t looked back since. There’s something special about this island; the rolling hills, fresh air, local produce and the slower pace. You’ll find us in the garden, renovating or restoring, baking something warm, or exploring Tassie’s hidden corners. It’s a joy to host at The Stable Lofts — if you’re after local tips, just ask. We’re always happy to share the magic!
