The Picker's Hut
If your idea of pure bliss is rolling hills covered in grapevines that change colour with the season, The Picker’s Hut at Invercarron – a luxury cabin dramatically perched above the Jordan Valley in southern Tasmania – eagerly awaits. It might feel worlds apart from real life, but this luxury countryside stay is just a 40-minute drive from Hobart’s unmissable attractions. Enjoy exclusive use of the property so you can come and go as you wish.
Once built to house and train soldiers before World War II, this historic hut has found its new home on a working Merino sheep farm and vineyard, Invercarron, and still retains the original foundations and floorboards to honour the building’s storied past. The interior boasts a full kitchen where you can prepare meals at your leisure, two spacious bedrooms and a bathroom with a deep bath overlooking the valley by day or the stars at night. The expansive outdoor deck is perfectly positioned to soak up some rays while creating a vantage point to spot the farmworkers herding sheep nearby. As the sun melts away, the stone fireplace begs for evenings spent with a glass of wine in hand playing a game of chess, or simply listening to the crackle of burning kindling.
The Picker’s Hut at Invercarron is located on a working Merino sheep farm and vineyard, a 40-minute drive from Hobart Airport. The local bakery and pub are within a 15-minute drive, plus the restaurants, bars and boutiques of Hobart are just a 40-minute drive from the property. Discover the Derwent Valley, the Coal River Valley, the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) and many other local walks and experiences within a short drive. Airport transfers are not included, please plan accordingly.

The Cabin — A luxury farm stay surrounded by undulating hills cloaked in grapevines
The attention to detail at this luxury cabin is what separates it from the rest – and this unique winery stay has the makings for an experience you’ll remember for years to come.
The Picker’s Hut at Invercarron was designed to capture the essence of the natural landscape, with generously-sized windows in every room to provide a sweeping view of the vineyard and the valley. Earthy tones shape the space while the blonde timber floors perfectly complement the exposed timber beams that stretch across the high ceilings. The cabin contains several nooks, perfect for getting lost in a book or enjoying your surrounds. There is also an indoor stone fireplace in the lounge, framed by large windows overlooking the natural landscape. With one queen bedroom and one king bedroom (which can be arranged as two singles upon request), the cabin provides exceptional comfort for up to four guests.
The property is uniquely situated on the site of a working Merino sheep farm and winery, and guests are invited to admire the vines that create the vineyard’s pinot gris, pinot noir and chardonnay varieties.
