| Hamlet
Downs is a picturesque bed and breakfast or self-contained
facility situated in Tasmania’s picture perfect Derwent
Valley, a short 60 minute drive from Hobart.
Overflowing beds of cottage
garden favourites intermingled with natives surround the cottage.
These melt into a sprawling vegetable patch, which in turn leads
to an orchard and a series of water ponds. There is a 1.5 km
walking track along our creek and around extensive dams where
our resident platypus and other wildlife are often seen. It
is also a bird watchers paradise with over 30 varieties of birds
in Summer.
Hamlet Downs offers four guest bedrooms:
- Possum – king sized bed with ensuite
- Bandicoot – queen sized bed with ensuite
- Platypus – queen sized bed and private bathroom facilities
- Potaroo – 2 single beds with private bathroom facilities
- A cot is available on request at extra cost.
Each suite has its own private lounge/dining area. There are
no shared internal facilities so clients may enjoy a private
stay. The facility is fully heated, with either a fireplace
or electric heaters. There is also a full kitchen in the self
contained facility. The King room has no cooking facilities
except for toaster, kettle and a micro-wave. Coffee and tea
making facilities, hairdryers, CD player, radios and television
are also provided. A laundry is also available with use of machines
at extra cost.
Light provisions or a fully cooked breakfast is available at
extra cost as well as dinner, which ranges from light meals
to a full 3 course banquet. We use our own home-grown seasonal
produce for meals including free range eggs. If you're interested,
we can provide Greek meals with prior arrangements. |
