The Duck Hole at Farnese Olivo

This is a hosted stay through Hipcamp, below is the information provided by the Host regarding their offering.

Farnese Olivo is a family hobby farm set on five acres overlooking the Coal River Valley in Acton Park, just 15 minutes from Hobart CBD.

The Duck Hole is a historic farm dam offering a quiet rural experience. Complimentary inclusions for all campers include free access to: – potable drinking water – shower (open air, cold only) – bring bathers. Great in summer, only for the brave in winter! – rubbish bins – fire pit – firewood (provided for free, for use in the fire pit) – cast iron BBQ plate and skillets for cooking in the fire pit – picnic table and chairs overlooking the dam – dam side hammock – portable cassette toilet (located outdoors)

The property was established in the early 1980s on the site of one of Hobart’s oldest farms (the original house built in 1826 still stands as a beautiful family home 2 doors up on our street). The old dairy still stands as visitor accommodation opposite the front of our property offering a glimpse of farm life from the past 200 years.
