Getting here
By car
Just 5 minutes from the city and 15 minutes from Hobart International Airport, Rosny Farm sits at a quiet threshold – a gateway to Lutruwita/Tasmanian culture on Hobart’s eastern shore. Framed by bushland and tucked behind Rosny’s civic centre, it’s a place where contemporary art, local history, and native landscape come together.
Follow the sign on Rosny Hill Road.
By bus
Catch a low‑floor Metro bus from Hobart CBD that travels via Rosny Park along Rosny Hill Road – sit back and enjoy the ride.
Hop off at Rosny Hill Rd Stop 4 (Rosny College) – you’ll see The Barn and heritage sandstone wall straight ahead. A leisurely 90 m stroll brings you right to Rosny Farm’s front gates.
Find bus timetable, map journey planner on the Metro Tasmania – Hobart Network website.

By bike
Rosny Farm sits just off the Clarence Foreshore Trail – join the path at Kangaroo Bay or Charles Hand Park, then follow it to Rosny Hill Road.
