A Haven of Rest

The Space

An enchanting historic church nestled in the heart of Tasmania…

The former Brickhill Memorial Church was built in 1879 using the generous posthumous donation of its namesake, the convict-turned-businessman Joseph Brickhill. It has lived many lives since that time, including stints as a wool museum, cafe, art gallery, residence, and now operating as a unique short stay accommodation for weary travelers.

The building is constructed of bluestone with a slate roof and a multitude of stained glass windows. Within, ornate timber beams and a polished hardwood floor continue the demonstration of exemplary craftsmanship seen throughout the church. All of these features are original. Due to the cultural and architectural significance of the property, Haven on High is on Tasmania’s heritage registry.

The Hosts

After years working in Melbourne as consultants, lecturers, and game designers, we felt the call of Tasmania’s calm and gentle nature to help us slow down and, in this case, literally smell the roses that line the driveway. Lured by the clean air, appealing natural environment, friendly residents and towns that feel like time capsules, we quickly found that Tasmania (and Haven on High in particular) help us relax and recover from our exhausting big-city lives.

We are sharers, so it didn’t take us long to formulate an idea: creating a space that welcomes us home when we need an escape, but making it equally welcoming to others who can enjoy the same feeling of rejuvenation when we’re not here. You may find evidence of our interests and hobbies sprinkled around: vinyl records, books about Tasmania, a guitar, and lots and lots of board games (our favourite way to spend time with friends). Please use these items with enjoyment and care.

As a naturally anxious person who struggles to 'switch off', visiting the calm country setting of Campbell Town is one of the ways I help myself slow down, relax, and focus on one thing at a time. We want to help you do the same, which is why both Ha
As a naturally anxious person who struggles to 'switch off', visiting the calm country setting of Campbell Town is one of the ways I help myself slow down, relax, and focus on one thing at a time. We want to help you do the same, which is why both Haven properties are full of interesting reading material (including a wide array of Tasmanian and Australian literature), fun board games, plenty of cookware and, of course, record players to provide the backing soundtrack to your hard-earned rest and play. #havenonhigh #airbnbtasmania #shortstay #tassie #comedownforair #campbelltowntasmania #visittasmania #airbnb #slowstays #cottagestay #discovertasmania

Sometimes, instead of deciding what you want in a room, the room tells you what it needs. Our light-soaked sunroom demanded seating that showcases the view of the rose trees and garden beds, so we worked with @leavenostoneunturned_ to design a 5-metre-long custom Tasmanian myrtle table that nests against the sill of the windows. Mid-century modern leather and oak chairs living their 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) life perfectly complement the rich red tones of the table (chairs procured from Nicole of @thestablelofts).

Thank you, Tasmania, for teaching us how lovely it feels to step from a fire-warmed lounge into a bed pre-heated by an electric blanket. We never knew cold weather could feel so good. #havenonhigh #airbnb #convertedchurch #campbelltowntasmania

When we learned a Launceston local had unearthed a Joseph Brickhill token from way back in 1856 - a time at which Brickhill was accumulating the wealth that would fund the creation of the Brickhill Memorial Church - we had to see it! Haven on High owes our existence to Brickhill, his business sense, and his generosity. How special to see a small piece of the history behind his success. Thank you, Nick, for lending us your treasure. Check out @tas.relic.hunter for more examples of Nick’s discoveries. #havenonhigh #tasmaniahistory #campbelltowntasmania
