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.
