Richmond Barracks

Richmond Barracks – Historic Cottages in the Heart of Richmond

Richmond Barracks offers boutique self-contained cottage accommodation in one of Tasmania’s most historic villages. Originally built as colonial officers’ barracks in the 1800s, today the property has been transformed into a peaceful retreat with all the comforts of modern living, while retaining its charm and character.

Guests can choose from three beautifully appointed cottages. Lady Esther Cottage is a two-storey retreat with a queen bedroom and ensuite downstairs, plus twin king singles upstairs with a separate vanity. The Retreat Cottage features a queen and king single, along with a spacious kitchen, living room and modern bathroom. The Cellar Studio Cottage is perfect for couples, offering an open-plan design with a queen bed, kitchenette, and ensuite.

Each cottage includes reverse-cycle heating and cooling, free Wi-Fi, flat screen TVs, and full cooking facilities. Guests are welcomed with complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits, and each cottage has its own off-street parking space.
