Woodbridge On The Derwent

With lovely views of the Derwent River, and lush gardens, Woodbridge on the Derwent offers luxurious five star accommodation in a convict built, beautifully restored 1825 Georgian river-front Mansion. Just a 30 minute drive from the Hobart waterfront, the Heritage-listed Woodbridge features a river-front Pavilion, where guests may spot the resident platypus, whilst enjoying a hearty breakfast, or a delicious dinner. Local seasonal produce forms the basis for the cuisine, and the wine list is based on the award-winning local vineyards. The surrounding Derwent Valley is an emerging food and wine destination.

The Amenity Room offers a hot-tub and a sauna, and kayaks and bicycles are available for guest’s enjoyment. The adjacent riverside parklands offer delightful walks and local walking and fishing guides are available on request.
