Haven on High
Where To Stay Campbell Town, Northern Midlands, Tasmania
For the first time in 145 years, visitors to Campbell Town can find sanctuary and experience history firsthand by staying in an iconic heritage-registered church and its adjoining mudbrick cottage. Founded in 1879 and named after its benefactor, the convict-turned-businessman Joseph Brickhill, the church has previously served as a wool museum, cafe, art gallery, co-working space and private residence.
The church and cottage have been renovated to accentuate their unique historical features. Both buildings (which can house five and six guests, respectively) have stained glass windows, restored timber beams, and exteriors built from locally-sourced bluestone (church) and mudbrick (cottage), with the church also showcasing its original timber floors, decorative moulding, and commemorative plaques.
Each property offers high speed internet, linens and towels, washer and dryer, smart TV with Netflix, free parking, stocked fireplace, fully equipped kitchen, Nespresso machine, board games, books, and records.
With its central location in the state, Haven on High is perfectly situated as a waypoint along your journey across Tasmania or as a central retreat from which to make day trips to Tasmania’s most-loved cities and sights. The property is steps away from Campbell Town’s grocery store, restaurants, shops and parks and an easy 35 minute drive from Launceston airport.

The cottage will charm you with unique features including stained glass windows, a spiral staircase and exposed timber beams, with thoughtful renovations adding modern comforts to the cosy setting. Enter via a light-soaked sunroom which spans the length of the property, within which is a locally-crafted Tasmanian myrtle dining ensemble for six which affords each guest a view of the rose trees and surrounding yard and gardens.
At the end of the sunroom is a private primary suite containing a king bed, sitting room, and full bathroom. Two additional bedrooms in the loft offer two single beds apiece. Back on the ground floor, the spacious lounge features a four-metre bench seat beneath stained glass windows, across from which are comfy armchairs, bookshelves, and a wood-burning fireplace. A fully equipped kitchen and adjacent half bath complete the open living area.
The mudbrick cottage sits amongst a private, bird-filled yard and garden. We invite you to use the generous lawn for stargazing, flower-picking, picnicking and chatting by the fire.

Founded in 1879 and named after convict-turned-businessman Joseph Brickhill, the former Brickhill Memorial Church has previously served as a wool museum, cafe, art gallery, co-working space and private residence. Now it has opened its doors to the public for short and long term stays under a new name: Haven on High.
The church retains a rich history – a significance you feel as soon as you walk through the arched double doors – making it perfect for guests who want to immerse themselves in a rejuvenating space that is wholly and authentically Tasmanian. The bluestone building contains striking architectural features including stained-glass windows, a high vaulted ceiling, wooden beams, and beautifully restored hardwood floors.
The church accommodates five guests. The mezzanine bedroom sleeps three (1Q, 1S) while the pod-style vestibule on the ground floor sleeps two guests in bunks. The open plan sanctuary hosts a dining space, lounge, and work station. Beneath the mezzanine is a full kitchen and 1.5 baths. The courtyard features a firepit and garden seating.
