LIFFEY FALLS LODGE B&B - ALPACA STUD FARM

Liffey Falls Lodge B&B

Andrew and I decided a nice weekend away was in order, so after doing a bit of searching on the internet we came across the Liffey Falls Lodge B&B, which is approximately 18km south of Deloraine in the Central Highlands area of Tasmania.

Because of it's proximity to Liffey Falls, the B&B is an absolute treasure! Our hosts Lyn & Paul were absolutely fantastic and provided us with first-class accommodation and the most divine cooked breakfast. The Lodge is set on 60 acres of beautiful land, which incorporates an Alpaca Stud Farm.

After a lovely warm sleep-in, we awoke to the sound of the fairy-wrens nesting outside our window and the crow of the rooster, and went and fed the Alpacas. These creatures are absolutely gorgeous, and I'm totally hooked on them now.

Liffey Falls Lodge B&B is a must-see for animal lovers, including the Alpacas there are 3 other 'permanent' residents (not counting the chickens, ducks & geese); Merlee the affectionate cat, Max the gorgeous Maremma and Wilma the friendly Blue Heeler.

A short drive into Deloraine on Saturday evening at dusk, provided us with the opportunity to spot two dozen Pademelons and about a dozen Possums (yes, we did count!).

We will DEFINATELY be going back to Liffey Falls Lodge B&B, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to escape the city and get back to nature.
