Hatcher's Manor

Hatcher's Manor is a farm-stay property at Richmond in Tasmania's Coal River Valley wine country, with cottages and a gypsy caravan among its accommodation. It takes dogs of any size in designated rooms, which puts it in the small group of stays where the dog sleeps indoors with you rather than in a kennel or the car.

Dogs at Hatcher's Manor

Dogs of any size are welcome, with a fee of around AU$10 per pet per night. Pets stay in designated rooms rather than across the whole property, so confirm a pet-friendly room is available when you book. Multiple pets are accepted, and cats can stay by request, which is unusual. Ask about where pets are allowed on the property and any house rules at the same time.

The vibe

Reviewers describe a farm-stay feel with friendly owners, a cottage, a gypsy caravan option and a daybed. The decor reads as dated in places, and the 3.6 star average reflects that, so it suits travellers after character and country quiet over a polished fit-out.

Getting there

Richmond is about 25 minutes east of Hobart, close to the town's historic bridge, wineries and the Convict Trail. The area is a common day trip, but staying over means the dog gets the evening and morning walks in quiet country streets.

While you're out there

Nearby options for stretching legs or comparing stays include the Sorell Dog Park, the Cambridge Dog Park on the Hobart side, and the Richmond Caravan & Cabin Park in the same town.

Before you book

Confirm the designated pet rooms and the nightly pet fee directly with Hatcher's Manor at booking, since pet-room availability is limited. Best fit is owners who want the dog inside with them and are happy with a rustic, family-run property.
