Haven on High combines historic charm with modern comforts, perfect for guests who want to immerse themselves in a rejuvenating space that is wholly and authentically Tasmanian.
The 145-year-old heritage-listed church contains striking architectural features including intricate stained-glass windows, a high vaulted ceiling, and beautifully restored hardwood floors.
Haven on High accommodates 5 guests. The mezzanine bedroom is the perfect spot to take in the full volume of the church and view the shifting colours of the stained glass as the sun sets each evening. The mezzanine level contains two sleeping spaces: one with a sumptuous queen bed and under-carpet heating, the other with a cosy single bed. The vestibule on the ground floor hosts bunk beds, offering a small private sleeping space for two. The vestibule is not a full-size bedroom, making it best suited to children.
Staying at Haven is a restful experience, and we’ve curated a range of relaxing activities to help you lean into the rejuvenating qualities of the space. History buffs can peruse our collection of books about Tasmania. Social butterflies can visit suggested points of interest and eateries across the Northern Midlands or try their hand at 50+ board games from the book nook. And of course, getting cosy by the fire is a must; choose between cuddles and a movie by the indoor fireplace, or marshmallows and an occasional magical glimpse of the Aurora Australis (southern lights) at the outdoor fire pit.
Tucked underneath the mezzanine is a full bathroom with heated towel racks, a chic half bath, and a spacious, fully-equipped kitchen complete with Nespresso machine and everything you need to prepare home-cooked meals.
Fresh linens and towels are provided as well as a washing machine and dryer. We provide all the basic supplies to get your stay underway, including shampoo and soaps, tea and coffee, cooking essentials, medical supplies, ‘in case you forgot’ toiletries, and a generous supply of wood, kindling and firelighters.
Located in the centre of Tasmania, Haven on High is an easy drive to statewide tourist destinations and serves as the perfect hub for day trips in any direction. We are located next to the Campbell Town IGA, BWS, and pharmacy and within a 5-minute walk of all shops, eateries, parks, and historic landmarks in town. We highly recommend popping across the street to visit The Book Cellar (award winning bookshop), The Tasmania Shop (quality local foods, wines and handcrafted items), and Sweet Brew (our favourite coffee in Tassie).
The entire church is yours to enjoy, as is a garden-surrounded courtyard with a firepit, seating, and shade umbrella - all for your private use. The L-shaped driveway is shared with guests of the Haven Cottage.
Haven on High is perfectly positioned as a central hub from which to explore Tasmania due to our convenient location along the main road through the state.
