Near Hobart and accessible to all the highlights of Southern Tasmania.
A place to slow down, breathe, and step away from the everyday.
Not your usual hotel. A guest once described it as “more like being given the keys to a friend’s country house.”
Wake to gently flowing water and soft morning light over the Derwent River.
Spend unhurried days exploring vineyards, villages and quiet landscapes.
Return to space, calm and complete privacy.
Just 25 minutes from Hobart – and yet, a world away.
No crowded lobbies.
No rigid schedules.
No sense of being anywhere but in your own space.
Instead you’ll find:
A stay designed for those who value tranquillity, character and a slower way of travelling.
Breathe in the morning.
Long, lazy lunches at nearby vineyards.
Afternoons discovering hidden corners of the Derwent Valley.
Evenings returning to stillness in a house that has extended hospitality for two centuries.
Perfect for:
This is not traditional hotel service.
It is something quieter – more personal, more considered, played out your way.
