Woolmers Estate — Attraction in Longford

To Russell Cowely, the Man who left such a cruel damaging and uncalled for and inappropriate review. Yes, we remember you very well indeed. You came I and was in a bad mood the minute you entered the restaurant space. All of my staff were very attentive toward you. You ate every scrap on your plate, I came over twice to make sure you we’re happy with everything, and instead of voicing your “opinion” when given the opportunity, you seemed to think it appropriate to leave an unkind and quite frankly a review that does not represent the service we offered you. Do you enjoy trying to bring down new Tasmanian small business? Firstly Woolmers estate is a magnificent property over looking the esk river with stunning gardens and incredible outbuildings and the largest rose garden in the Southern Hemisphere. As to the Unkind and incorrect assumptions and opinion of the newly established Restaurant, might I add we only opened 6 weeks ago! Our menu reflects a menu based on a previous very successful 5 star restaurant with 2,500 follows and 295 five star reviews on face book.we make literally everything in-house including all of our patisserie. We make our own strawberry coulis for our milk shakes and our own chocolate ganache for hot chocolates. We pride ourselves on friendly attentive and welcoming service and fresh food with all menu being prepared and cooked freshly every single day using locally sourced and organic grown by woolmers estates kitchen garden.

As to your reference to Woolmers future plans. Let me ask you something….. do you think Woolmers shouldn’t have future plans for growth and success? How very strange of you! As to your words of me (the manager) Swanning about like Sybil faulty. Firstly I never swan about I take my work very seriously!!!! Secondly thank you I’ve always wanted to open a faulty towers restaurant. 😁 Now please go back to your day job because leaving disgraceful reviews like that one you did earlier is just down right cruel especially to a very new...

The property has great historic value and is UNESCO listed. The gardens and estate are fairly large and in a picturesque location. The inside of the house is beautifully decorated and in pristine condition with many original furnishings.

I just couldn't get over how expensive it was, especially compared to other similar properties that are UNESCO or national trust listed (all

Recently stayed in one of the cottages which I recommend if you're interested in a unique historical experience, but not if you're looking for luxury. The cottages are clean and nice inside but you're dealing with old plumbing, stiff windows, creaky floorboards and dark interiors. That said, it gives insight to previous ways of life, and I can confirm the Coachman's Cottage at least is definitely not haunted! Staying on the property also gives you after hours access which allowed me to spend an evening walking around exploring on my own, walking through golden fields of summer grass with views over rolling hills, sheep and river, and it was magical. Particularly loved the wool shed and cider house, rose garden, and private garden within the walled section of the main house. The convict walk was very interesting though it was too hot for us to venture beyond the suspension bridge, but I'm sure a walk to Brickendon would be worthwhile.

One thing I noticed that was lacking was suitable acknowledgment of the indigenous people on whose land the estate was started. The Archers became very wealthy and dominated the local landscape, physically and socially, but that wealth came at great price to the people whose land was freely 'awarded' to Thomas Archer. European settlement is a tiny fraction of the history of that land and yet it still dominates the conversation, no doubt to the ongoing detriment of the indigenous peoples. I believe this is definitely an area for...
