Overview

Raffah House: A Storied Cottage in the Heart of Oatlands

Abode There is a quiet sense of permanence about Raffah House. Built in the 1840s from golden Tasmanian sandstone, this remarkable cottage has stood at the heart of Oatlands for almost two centuries, bearing witness to the township's evolving story. Behind its solid stone walls lies a home that honours its past while embracing the comfort and beauty of modern living. The land was first granted in 1828 to James Weeding as a two-acre town allotment. Nearly two hundred years later, his direct descendant Nick and wife, Sophie Weeding, returned to reclaim and restore it. Their careful and sympathetic renovation has ensured that Raffah House remains not simply preserved, but truly alive once more. Over the years, the cottage has lived many lives. It has welcomed travellers as a local pub. It has marked the beginning of life as a maternity hospital, with generations of locals born within its walls. Even today, gentle reminders of this rich history remain in the garden, where the original stone outbuilding and pathways quietly echo stories from another era. Inside, heritage character and contemporary refinement exist in harmony. Exposed stone, timber floors and period detail provide warmth and authenticity, while thoughtfully designed interiors deliver comfort and sophistication. Every space feels considered, layered and inviting. Today, Raffah House is recognised far beyond Oatlands. Featured in House and Garden, Domain Living, Country Road, The Design Files, Financial Review, Good Weekend, Country Style and TasWeekend, it has become one of Tasmania's most admired short stay destinations. The property offers not only romance and heritage, but a proven and highly successful accommodation business. Area Located in the heart of Tasmania's storied Midlands, Oatlands offers a beautifully preserved glimpse into Australia's colonial past, enriched by a quietly thriving food and artisan scene. A visit to the iconic Callington Mill Distillery is essential, with award winning whisky, refined dining and sweeping views from the restored windmill that has become a symbol of the town. Along the historic High Street, antique stores, galleries and specialty shops invite unhurried wandering, where good food, fine spirits and thoughtful craftsmanship shape the rhythm of daily life. Raffah House is more than a cottage. It is a chapter of Tasmanian history, beautifully restored and ready for its next custodian.
