PIONEER Cottage

1800s colonial style with a modern twist

Explore the traditional charm of Blackwood Park’s first ever cottage

The Pioneer Cottage is the original building on the property, constructed in the mid-to-late 1800s when the Mole Creek region was first settled and still featuring the original hand-pressed, convict made bricks set in the historic chimney. This one-bedroom cottage is perfect for a couple or solo holiday-seeker looking to whisk themselves away to yesteryear without forgoing the comforts of modern living. A loving restoration has transformed Pioneer Cottage into the perfect getaway home, with stunning vistas surrounded by native wildlife for the most picturesque retreat imaginable.

What our
guests say


 

“My husband and I had two nights in the Pioneer Cottage. This quaint, cosy cottage had a very light and airy kitchen with great breakfast supplies, including home made butter and jams, locally sourced bacon and bread, fresh farm eggs and fresh orange juice.”

“My girlfriend and I stayed in the Pioneer cottage which was very comfortable and well-appointed. Shane and Yuko were excellent hosts and made us feel very welcome. If you stay here you will not be disappointed.”

“Our favourite stay in Tasmania. We loved the farm stay experience with the kids entertained by alpacas, chickens, goats, sheep and of course Otto the dog. Mole Creek was also the perfect location for trips west to Cradle Mountain and east Liffey falls. We will be back for our next trip.”
