The golden exterior of Woolmers is lime-washed Harling, a traditional form of rough-cast lime-render with Scottish origins. Harling is created by hand throwing a mixture of lime-mortar and aggregate onto masonry, producing an irregular, textured surface. It provides a protective, weather-resistant coating and gives many of the brick buildings at Woolmers a unifying character.

One month to go until the Festival of Roses! 🌹

On Sunday 22 November, the whole estate opens for a day among the roses. Wander the expansive Rose Garden at the height of its bloom, explore the grounds and all 18 original heritage buildings, then follow the Market Trail to meet local makers, with live music throughout the day, including musicians from the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra.

Make more of your day with a garden walk and talk, a mini tour of Woolmers House, Devonshire tea at the Rose Garden Café, a w**e and cheese picnic platter on the lawn, or a Tasmanian gin tasting.

Garden walks and talks are filling fast, with only 19 places left. Book your tickets and extras online before the day, and as a ticket holder you’ll be the first to hear about new experiences as they’re added.

🗓 Sunday 22 November, 10am to 4pm
🎟 $15 general admission

Species Roses are roses as you’d find them growing in the wild, and they’re the first to flower in the Rose Garden each season. 🌹

Nearly all are single flowers with just five petals, which leaves their golden stamens in the open, catching the light. The hybrid Species Roses here have a little more to them, but they’re still very much Species Roses at heart.

When flowering ends, the blooms turn into rosehips, which are a beautiful feature in their own right. If you’re keen enough, you can even use them to make rosehip syrup.

Look for the Species Roses on your next wander through the expansive Rose Garden.

It has been quite a week at Woolmers Estate and we are feeling very grateful.

Earlier this week we shared that we are finalists in three categories at the 2026 Tasmanian Tourism Awards. We have now also learnt that our heritage accommodation has been included on the Star Ratings Australia 2026 Gold List of Australian Accommodation for Tasmania, Self Catering.

The Gold List is based on guest reviews, so thank you to everyone who has spent a night here and taken the time to share their experience. Your feedback means a great deal to our team.

Each guest who stays with us becomes part of the estate’s story, even if only for a night or two. Whether it is a Devonshire tea on arrival, a quiet wander through the estate after the gates close or breakfast before the day begins, we hope every stay feels special and we will keep working to make each visit one to remember.

Wake in your own private hedge-lined garden retreat to the fragrance of thousands of roses drifting on the morning air from the Rose Garden just a short stroll away, your crackling wood fire from the night before still glowing as the day begins.

As the most spacious of Woolmers Estate's six heritage cottages, Groom's cottage sleeps up to six guests across three bedrooms over two levels, giving everyone their own room while sharing one living space together.

Settle in with a Devonshire tea, then wander the UNESCO World Heritage estate after hours, when the day visitors have gone and nearly 200 years of history is yours to explore together. A continental breakfast is included to start your morning

Every Drop, Tasmanian, at the Rose Garden Café 🌹

The best drinks come from close to home. Almost everything we pour is grown, brewed, distilled or blended by a Tasmanian maker we know by name. That means fresher flavours, shorter journeys from maker to glass, and support that stays close to the community that makes Woolmers what it is.

Meet the makers:

☕ COFFEE & TEA
- Ritual Coffee, Launceston: small-batch roasting since 2009, just twenty minutes from our front door.
- The Tea Equation, Launceston: blended from local crops, including leaves grown on a Huon Valley estate.

🍏 CIDERS & JUICES
- Spreyton Fresh, Mersey Valley: five generations have farmed this one orchard, and every c***r, juice and soft drink is grown, pressed and brewed on the family property.

🌹 GIN
- Turner Stillhouse, Tamar Valley: our Woolmers Blend Gin is distilled with fresh roses cut from the estate's Rose Garden. It began as a Festival of Roses collaboration and is now on the menu year-round.

🍷 W**E & SPARKLING
- Bell & Gong, Longford: grown minutes down the road at Valleyfield. Their Flying Mile Pinot Noir is named for the motor racing circuit that once ran through Longford.
- Josef Chromy, Tamar Valley: traditional-method sparkling, including the Distant South cuvée poured here.
- House of Arras, Pipers River: led by w**emaker Ed Carr since 1995 and made using the traditional method from Pipers River fruit.

Rose Garden Café is in the Nigel Peck Centre at Woolmers Estate, open daily from 8am to 4pm. No ticket is required.

Every spring the Mt Fuji cherries put on a show, and every spring it's over far too quickly. 🌸 Right now the branches are heavy with white blossom and buzzing with bees. Come and see them before the petals start to fall.
