Relax with the whole family at this newly-renovated, peaceful cottage and garden in the centre of Tasmania. With space for six, you will have the entire cottage to yourselves as well as the large adjoining private yard.
The self-contained primary bedroom suite exudes comfort with split-system AC as well as underfloor heating throughout the bedroom, office, and bathroom. The king bed faces a handcrafted stained glass window - one of several unique features of the property - and a large closet and dresser enable you to settle in for trips of any length. Connecting the bedroom to the bathroom is a multi-purpose room equipped with yoga gear, reading materials, work stations, and a spare monitor, keyboard and mouse for those who are working remotely.
Two additional bedrooms are found in the loft, accessed via a custom-designed spiral staircase. While the loft is suitable for four guests of any age, the stairs require care for those who are less nimble. Young children in particular love the loft and having a private space to play.
On the ground level, a spacious open lounge serves as the central area for unwinding and socialising. It features a four-metre bench seat beneath stained glass windows, across from which are comfy armchairs, bookshelves, and a wood-burning fireplace. Several stacks of books about Tasmania and Australia are provided along with a record player, smart tv, guitar, children's books, and a selection of family friendly board games. Split system AC and heating keeps the open living area comfortable year round.
Our contemporary kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare home-cooked meals - plus a Nespresso machine to get your morning started. There's dining space for six in the sunroom, with custom, locally-crafted Tasmanian myrtle tables affording each person a view of the rose trees and surrounding yard and gardens.
The large lawn seen from the sunroom is fully fenced in for your private use, and we've provided lawn games, picnic gear, and an outdoor dining table to help you enjoy the green space.
We can't wait to host you! Once you've booked we will share recommended shops, restaurants, activities and travel tips to help you make the most of your stay.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay. The Cottage was extremely comfortable with an eye for detail to provide all of the finishing touches to make it feel like home away from home. We will definitely be staying again.
Matt's house is located in a very quiet and beautiful place with a beautiful little garden, which can give you a sense of peace of mind. The facilities inside are very complete. My friend and I lit the fireplace and played Monopoly together, it was very atmospheric. I highly recommend people who like a quiet environment to experience staying here. Matt is also very nice and responds very promptly!
We had an amazing stay! The place looks exactly like the photos, and all our kids absolutely loved it. Their room was clean, tidy, and full of toys. The kitchen is spotless and has everything you need, and the bathroom is great. Having a washing machine and dryer was a huge help during our long trip in Tasmania. Highly recommend!
Loved Matt's yard, great garden, it was beautiful at this time of year! The whole house was comfortable and tidy and we could find everything we needed. We arrived late and had trouble getting in the door and turning on the lights, communicated with Matt right away, he was very timely in helping, thank you so much! Sadly only stayed one night and didn't have time to experience the table games and didn't have time to really appreciate the garden... leaving with regret to come back next time!
The most liked house in this trip. Will visit Matt if we come back to Tassie again.
Great place, especially with kids. They had a lot of fun sleeping in the pitched roof space and playing outside. The place was clean and well arranged.
Beautiful property, well located, and professionally hosted. Would love to stay here again. Thank you.
Loved our ‘stopover’, Matt’s place is lovely. Kids loved the upstairs area, and touches like the record player, fireplace and board games were fantastic. Thank you!
One of the best AirBnB I ever stayed at in Australia. You will get to see starry starry nights when the sky is clear, the air is fresh, the environment is peaceful and quiet. My family is very happy with the stay.
The house is immaculately clean, fresh, comfortable and warm with electric blankets & wood heater (with plentiful dry wood available). Inside are all the mod-cons plus board games & books, yoga mat, office space, rugs, cushions, comfy spots to sit & enjoy the morning sunlight streaming in through stain glass windows from the green and (expansive) flower-full garden outside. Everything you need is close-by. No bath but the shower was hot & bathroom (and separate toilet) spotless, renovated & beautiful. Comfy beds & pillows. All very tastefully decorated and welcoming. It was so nice to come 'home' at Matt's place and relax after. I highly recommend & will not hesitate to book again.

As a lover of repurposed architecture, Haven owner and host Matt Collins is particularly drawn to the beauty of historic churches, and spent years seeking an opportunity to give an old church a new life. When he discovered Brickhill Memorial Church on "Churches for Sale Australia" - a Facebook group of more than 100,000 members - he knew he'd finally found the perfect one.
Matt spends many evenings pondering ways to improve the guest experience, as well as managing the ongoing maintenance and restoration work involved in caretaking a heritage site. Helping guests enjoy the culture and history of Haven on High, Campbell Town, and Tasmania is Matt's greatest joy and accomplishment.
