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.
For the Self-contained facility, Queen Ensuite and the room
with single beds, we provide a cosy guest lounge room and dining
room as well as outside verandah areas. The facility is fully
heated, with either a fireplace or electric heaters. There is
also a full kitchen in the main facility. The King room has
its own dining/sun room and separate entrance however no cooking
