The Post House
Carlton, Tasmania

Once a place where love letters, secrets and news of the world passed through, The Post House now welcomes guests instead. This iconic 1842 Tasmanian Airbnb stay is a rare blend of heritage romance and considered luxury, equally at home as an unforgettable escape or an extraordinary shoot location.

Dearest You,

If you’ve found your way here, perhaps you’re searching for something a little quieter. A place to arrive gently… to stay, to create, to celebrate, or simply to be.

This is a house that has always held stories. Once a place of letters and arrivals, it now welcomes those looking for beauty without spectacle, and moments that don’t need explaining. Days here unfold slowly. Light moves across old walls. The gardens listen. The landscape does the talking.

Whether you come to rest, to mark a beginning, to gather a small circle, or to frame something meaningful through a lens, this is a place for considered stays and thoughtful use — shaped by your pace, your purpose, your story.

You’re very welcome here.

Warmly, Hannah + Stuart
