The Estate @ Sherwood Loves

Sherwood Loves Tasmania is a stunning sandstone farmstead, built in the late 1830s. Architecturally re-imagined and rebuilt over 4 years, it fuses rustic with industrial, and a lashing of eclectic art and design elements. The skies, views and wildlife will take your breath away. You wake each morning smiling about life! A perfect deck to meet the morning sun as it rises, to meditate, or just to make merry. Sherwood Loves is a unique and beautiful place to chill, contemplate, create and connect. The space (TIP: Tap the '1/78' / 'Show all photos' box on photo for easy Photo Tour.) IMPORTANT NOTES: - breakfast is not included but can be provided if you wish for an extra charge - discuss with us - one-off catered meals could also be provided for an extra charge - menus flexible - discuss with us - this listing is for up to 16 people. To sleep up to 24 people see the sister listing "Estate Sleeps24" or discuss with us - if you want a social gathering of up to 16 (or 24) people sleeping here, but more coming to the gathering, this may be possible - please discuss with us. THIS LISTING IS FOR 'THE ESTATE' - this includes the PINK BEDROOM (Max 4 - 1x Queen, 2x King Singles), THE BLUE BEDROOM (Max 3 - 3x King Singles), THE YELLOW BEDROOM (Max 2 - 1x King), THE ORI ROOM (Max 2 - 1x sofa double), as well as the YIN BEDROOM (Max 3 - 1 King, 1 King Single click clack sofa bed) and YANG BEDROOM (Max 2 - 1x King) both in THE MAIN HOMESTEAD & STABLES BUILDINGS. Therefore, the price per day is for a maximum of 16 people in total. The YIN and YANG bedrooms have been created more earthy and grounded... they are both in The Stables Building. In these rooms, you will find historical pieces from the original stable re-installed back into the rooms. The beautiful 11.5m hand hewn beam, sitting on their original support beam, imbedded in the original plinth brings character to these rooms. Yin is inspired by the divine feminine in all of us, and Yang celebrates the divine masculine in all of us. The PINK, BLUE and YELLOW bedrooms have been created to celebrate whimsical, colourful, playful artists and their art... The Pink Room - almost dreamy - is dedicated to Sarah Pirrotina, an artist from Geelong, Australia. The Yellow Room - so bright and sunshiny - is like the artist we are dedicating this room to, Sha’an d’Anthes, aka Furry Little Peach from Sydney, Australia. The Blue Room - where humans, fauna and flora cosily connect - is dedicated to Helen Dardik from Ottawa, Canada. All prolific, all inspiring! The ORI Room is included; it is the ORIGINAL room, the cottage, built in 1840s. ‘ORI’ in Latin means ‘rise’, ‘begin’, ‘appear’; or in Hebrew, it means ‘my light’ and therefore, this is the original light that rose, the beginning of Sherwood Loves Tasmania almost 200 years ago. OTHER ROOMS YOU CAN BOOK SEPARATELY: If you have more people in your party, you can book the MOSH, The BUNK Room in The Lodge, as well as GIDGET the Caravan; this will increase potential occupancy by another 8 pax. When you book The Estate, you have exclusive use of the massive deck that wrap arounds the building, with the stunning views on one side, and the gardens on the other, has nooks to allow people to have downtime away from the group... Enjoy the wonderful collection of art and sculptures that we've collected over the years which we have scattered around the estate! In fact - the spaces were specially designed to house our meaningful art, quirky furniture and eclectic artefacts... a tail-wags-dog syndrome, chuckle. When you book The Estate, you have exclusive use of a chef's kitchen and the dining spaces inside and out, as well as the beautiful lounge. You have access to a main fridge, and the fridge by the kitchenette, as well as full drawers of spices, sauces and condiments for you to whip up gourmet meals. These spaces are yours to enjoy exclusively - Stephen and Philamae will pop in and out to ensure breakfast re-stocking happens but generally leave your group to enjoy these spaces. MORE ABOUT SHERWOOD LOVES: Sherwood Loves - an estate surrounded by nature - has kept much of the original sandstone work, but added an industrial feel to the rustic, with the fusion of ‘The Homestead’ with two new, high ceiling buildings - ‘The Pavilion’ and ‘The Stable’. So much beautiful detailing in the architecture. Sherwood Loves is situated on Sally Peak; it has its own road coming into the property. When driving in and out of Sherwood Loves we often see wallabies, sheep, possums and rabbits scuttling, parrots and eagles greeting us... once we saw a stag jump over the fence! The drive in and out sometimes feel like a scene from Bambi... so if you do come to stay, drive slowly and carefully - we do love our wildlife. The views will literally and metaphorically take your breath away! You wake up each morning smiling about life! A perfect deck to meet the morning sun as it rises (we have yoga mats and blocks), to meditate (we also have meditation seats and blankets), to contemplate or just to make merry! Sherwood Loves - the estate that's in amongst nature - is a wonderful place for chilling and connecting, or for that peaceful romantic getaway that gives you isolation from the harried life (there is only one house nearby, about 300m away, out of sight!), or having a small party of friends to connect with in a social getaway...we’ve built fun outside spaces – a spectacular large scale rock garden, a walking labyrinth (that sparkles at night!), stepping stone pathways, some grounding firepit areas, and meaningful handpicked sculptures and love seats scattered, some in secret places. Within the buildings, we love art and design, and decades of collecting eclectic pieces that are now curated in every room, nook and corner. And so, Sherwood Loves is filled with tasteful splashes of colour and eclectic, high end furniture and furnishings for one to enjoy! We have dedicated some rooms to our favourite artists and have their works in them. And there are lots of playful quirks too – there is almost a story in everything because it’s all personal; it’s our home after all *smile*. Sherwood Loves looks out across the valley of the 'Brushy Plains Rivulet'; a spectacular high up 270-degree mesmerizing view! Nine days was all it took us from seeing the advert in Sydney, to buying this place in 2018; we gasped - feeling the magic of the universe when we first stepped onto the deck. We now wish to share this amazing experience! Sherwood Loves is owned and loved dearly by Philamae & Stephen. It is a sacred space – it is our intent that guests come to share this heart stirring experience of a place, with respect and love. We are keen to share our home with people who wish to connect, commune with nature, or just contemplate over a cuppa. The DOT motif you see in every room represents our wholeness. For some, the DOT also represents the attainment of an enlightened state of being. The intention of Sherwood Loves is to share the property's vibration of peace, love and completeness with those who experience her. Guest access Sherwood Loves was built on the premise that human connection is important and so guests have exclusive access to the following: • Relaxing lounge in ‘The Pavilion’ – make small or large groups, with 3 full chests of games to enjoy. • Nourishment with stunning views from ‘The Dining Room’ – two long tables of 8, and bar chairs… or if you prefer some space, there’s outdoor nooks. • Gathering on ‘The Deck’ – outdoor lounge, outdoor dining, outdoor nooks. • Doing your sun salutations on ‘The Deck’ – we have yoga mats, blocks, meditation chairs, blankets. • Grounding outdoors with firepits at ‘Pine Point’ and ‘The Rock Garden’. • Walking 'The Labyrinth' by day or fairy-lit by night, in contemplation. • Up until 19 Feb 2026: Continental breakfast – cereal bar, OJ station, hot beverage bar, breads and spreads for you to help yourself between 7am-10am. • After 19 Feb 2026: Hot beverage bar available during your stay. • Be a gourmand in the chef kitchen - it is well stocked with our spices, sauces, oils and condiments. Additionally, an everything-and-the-kitchen-sink kitchenette also for your use, with an array of teas, coffees, light and soy milk for that midnight binge. • There are 4.5 bathrooms scattered amongst the 3 buildings; 3.5 bathrooms are for guests to share. • Parking, wifi and chit chats are free. • On request, guests can borrow a book from a vibrant stash from Philamae’s private library. • Optionally detox from technology by parking your cell/mobile in special safe lockers (free). • The lovely walks surrounding our two acres, the expansive views and gorgeous skies! There is a large wood fire in the lounge if it gets cold, all rooms are stocked with electric blankets, electric heaters, doonas and throws, and when it's scorching outside (which is about 2-3 weeks a year) the thick sandstone walls help to keep the inside cool. On water, whilst you don't need to carry water from the river (chuckle), water at Sherwood Loves is via rainwater tanks – sadly, we have had to buy lots of water because it has been so dry... we do conserve water where possible and we ask the same of our guests. Sherwood Loves was created with love, with respect and with playfulness, for we wish those who stay to enjoy her as we do. We look forward to your staying with us and enjoying this beautiful sanctuary we call our home. NB. Bookings for The Estate do not include The Office, The Caravan, The Bunk Room, The Manager's Studio, nor the private pantry in The Dining area. Other things to note Treat wildlife with love - we are sharing their space!
