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.

To those who find their way here,

Perhaps you’re searching for something a little slower. A place to arrive softly — to stay, to gather, to celebrate, to create, or simply to pause for a while.

Post House has always been a place of stories. Once tied to arrivals, departures and handwritten letters, it now welcomes those drawn to beauty, atmosphere and meaningful moments shared quietly. Days unfold gently here. Light shifts across old sandstone walls, the gardens settle into the landscape, and time seems to stretch a little differently.

Whether you come to mark a beginning, share an intimate celebration, retreat from the noise, or create something thoughtful, this is a place intended to be experienced slowly — in your own way, and at your own pace.

We would love to invite you to share our special space.
