awley House (circa 1878) is the
original homestead of Rubicon Estate, a 150
hectare landholding that encompasses a 15 acre vineyard,
grazing paddocks for our Clydesdale horses,
Natural Heritage Wetlands, ABC Open
gardens and a 350 acre
wildlife sanctuary. Wildlife abounds in the
coastal heathland on the windswept escarpment
overlooking Bass Strait, and dusk sightings include
wombats, pademelons, Tasmanian devils, spotted
quolls, barred bandicoots, Bennets wallabies and
Forester kangaroos.

The Estate straddles the peninsula of Point
Sorell and offers stunning views of the North-west coast
all the way to Table Cape & Stanley to the west (200km
away) and the Narawntapu National Park, Badger Head and Bakers
Beach to the East, on the opposite banks of the Rubicon
River.
Point Sorell is home to the largest Fairy Penguin and
Muttonbird rookeries on the Tasmanian mainland.
