Very below average tram stop to catch trams

Nice station.

Nice

It's an interesting place with a lot of history. The staff are friendly and seem to enjoy their work. The actress/guide on the night in particular was very good. The Ghosts! What ghosts? Tour wasn't what you'd call scary in any way but it was very interesting.

Highly recommend add on just $5 dollars for watch house experience and you can see more old gaol not just the experience itself! The staff there are all super friendly. I missed the watch house experience for the first time so they let me go at another day just for it and I didn’t have to buy the ticket again! (The last time is at 15:45) Had a really great time there✨

My partner and I attended the 'Ghosts? What Ghosts?' guided tour, lead by a great storyteller Janette. I loved the experience and stories told, as well as the images we saw along the way. Loved being guided in the dark, added to the atmosphere. Overrall very very happy with our experience, loved it!

It was my first time attending a Halloween event, and it was a lot of fun. It would be even better if there were more interactive elements and little surprises in the decorations.

The sergeant arrested and "searched" us. He told us to surrender our contraband. We were told not to smile but we did! I enjoyed the commentary and looking around.

Great insight into 19th century incarceration. Imposing building with lots of original cells still in situ. Death masks including Ned Kelly Do the watch house tour as an add-on

Was a really great historical place to visit. A must do if in the area visiting, especially the night tours.

This is a must visit place which takes you back to another time and has an amazing vibrancy. There are many shops but what stunned me was the architecture. I just kept looking up at threat craftsmanship of the people who built this.

Nice building. The decoration is colourful. We had high tea at The Tea Rooms 1892. Will come Back to have a more thorough look at the building again, if have chance.

Visited The Block Arcade early in the morning, quiet and easy to explore. Beautiful heritage building with ornate mosaic floors, glass roof, and boutique shops. Fun fact: it was opened in 1893 and is one of Melbourne’s most iconic historic shopping arcades.

fun visual Melbourne experience & see if you can locate their very expensive, truly delicious classic; cuppa tea and marvellous cucumber, smoked salmon wholemeal sangers! Recommend.

A must visit in Melbourne. If you can make a booking for the tea rooms that’s also essential. A tireless tradition for Melbourne visitors. The architecture and decor still well appreciated by many and the building is heritage listed. Do look up and down. The mosaic tiles, the glass ceilings, the archways and painting. Stunning. Plenty of cafes and stores to keep you busy for an hour. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly fly. Pram accessible. Toilets nearby.

Lovely arcade with some interesting, experiencial shops - aromatherapy, chocolate, cake & tea... All quite attractive... And the mosaics are very attractive, as well...

The Block Arcade Our morning at The Block Arcade was nothing short of spectacular. This historic arcade, with its intricate architecture and timeless charm, creates an inviting atmosphere that is perfect for leisurely exploration. As we wandered through the beautifully tiled corridors, we found ourselves drawn to the various cafes and eateries that line the arcade, each offering a unique and delectable experience. We began our culinary journey with a perfectly brewed coffee that set the tone for the morning. The rich aroma and smooth taste were just the start of what would be a delightful experience. Moving from one eatery to another, we indulged in an array of freshly baked pastries, each one more delicious than the last. The quality of the food was outstanding, with every bite reflecting the care and craftsmanship that went into its preparation. One of the highlights was discovering a small patisserie where the selection of cakes and tarts was irresistible. The flavours were exquisite, and the presentation was simply beautiful. The staff throughout The Block Arcade were friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyment of our visit. Beyond the food, the ambience of The Block Arcade is something to be savoured. The blend of old-world elegance and modern sophistication makes it a unique spot in the heart of the city. It's easy to lose track of time as you explore the arcade, taking in the stunning details of the architecture and soaking in the vibrant atmosphere. Whether you're a food lover, a history enthusiast, or simply looking for a place to relax and unwind, The Block Arcade offers something for everyone. Our morning spent there, enjoying the various culinary delights, was truly memorable. It's a place that invites you to slow down, savour the moment, and appreciate the finer things in life.

We really enjoyed our visit to Melbourne Skydeck! The 360° views of the city were absolutely stunning and gave us a whole new perspective of Melbourne. Definitely worth a visit if you want to see the city from above.

Our visit to Melbourne Skydeck was a truly memorable experience. It’s one of the best spots in the city to enjoy a panoramic view of Melbourne from high above. The observation deck gives a 360-degree view, allowing you to take in the skyline, river, and iconic landmarks all at once. Watching the sunset from the top was magical — the colors in the sky changed beautifully, making it perfect for photos. Many people also recommend the sunrise view for a peaceful start to the day. The place is very family-friendly, and our kids were excited to spot famous buildings and watch the trams below. The interactive displays made the experience more fun for them. We tried some food and drinks from the café; although the prices were a bit expensive, we really enjoyed the mocktails, which were refreshing and tasty. If you’re visiting Melbourne, this is a must-see attraction — especially for first-time visitors who want to see the city from above. A short visit can give you a great glimpse of the entire city. Overall, it’s a wonderful experience for both kids and adults.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Eureka Skydeck – Incredible Views of Melbourne! A fantastic experience and definitely one of the best viewpoints in Melbourne. The 360° views are stunning — you can see the entire city, the coastline, and all the way out to the mountains on a clear day. The space is well-organised, staff are friendly, and everything feels safe and smooth. The Edge Experience adds a fun little thrill if you like something extra! Great for families, couples, or anyone visiting Melbourne. Highly recommend going around sunset for those magic colours over the skyline. 🌇✨

Melbourne Skydeck was such an awesome experience! The views from the top were absolutely stunning — you can see the entire city skyline. The Edge experience was super cool and definitely worth trying — it’s a fun mix of thrill and amazing views. Everything was well-organized, and the staff made it even better. A must-do when visiting Melbourne!

My 1st stop in Melbourne was here! I mean there is no other place with these views. Definitely a must for sunset, or just night views. You can get drinks and snacks too.

Very good value if you buy the whole package online. The 3D simulator is very good and the views from the top excellent.. and there's the highest bar in Australia at the top.

I wouldn't recommend to get the edge ticket as you can see the view just before it without paying anything. I definitely recommend theater experience! Worth every penny!

The NGV is definitely a must-visit when you’re in Melbourne. The variety of art on display is incredible — from classic works to contemporary installations, Indigenous pieces, and international exhibitions. Every room offers something unique, and you can easily spend hours exploring without getting bored. What I loved most was how thoughtfully everything was curated. The exhibitions had a clear flow, the descriptions were informative, and the overall vibe was calm and inspiring. The gallery space itself is also stunning — spacious, clean, and easy to access by public transport. That said, it can get very crowded during major exhibitions. Some parts felt rushed or hard to fully enjoy because of the number of people. Also, the layout can be a bit confusing at times, especially when transitioning between different sections or locations. A few visitors seemed frustrated by early room closures or long queues for ticketed exhibits. Still, the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. NGV offers a rich cultural experience and is a gem for both locals and tourists. Just try to visit on a weekday or earlier in the day to avoid the peak rush!

I recently visited the National Gallery of Victoria and absolutely loved it! The art collection is diverse and beautifully presented, combining Australian, Indigenous, and international works. The building itself is stunning, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Entry to the main exhibits is free, which makes it even better. A must-visit spot in Melbourne for art and culture lovers!

The NGV is always a great place to spend a few hours, even though it was quite packed during my visit, there’s so much to see that it’s worth it. The mix of permanent collections and changing exhibitions keeps things fresh, and I really appreciated that some of the exhibitions are free, which makes it very accessible. A must-visit if you’re in Melbourne.

My wife and I were visiting from Sydney and decided to go to the NGV as we were walking around the city. We were very pleasantly surprised at the diversity of the art and sculptures in the collections. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Melbourne.

I visited the National Gallery of Victoria on a busy Saturday afternoon with friends. I’ve been a few times before as a local, but this visit stood out because I had the chance to really explore more of what the gallery offers. It’s just a short walk or tram ride from Flinders Street Station if you’re coming by PTV, or plenty of paid parking is available nearby if you’re driving. The building itself is hard to miss, with its large size, striking fountain and man made pond out the front, and of course the iconic water wall at the entrance. Entry is free unless you choose to see one of the rotating paid exhibitions. This time, we skipped the ticketed exhibit and wandered through the many free galleries instead. On the ground floor, there’s a stunning foyer space filled with sculptures and the famous room with the colourful stained glass ceiling, which always feels magical to walk under. From there, you can step outside into the sculpture garden and pond area, which is another highlight. Getting upstairs is easy with both escalators and accessible options. The galleries are currently arranged by region, and it was fascinating to walk through each one and see the differences and similarities across cultures. I especially loved the Japanese and Chinese galleries, the detail and richness of the traditional pieces were incredible. Even though it was busy, the space felt open enough for everyone to explore at their own pace. There were toilets on every level, information points, and staff around to help if you needed directions. The building itself is so large that it almost felt like a maze at times but getting “lost” just meant stumbling upon more artwork to enjoy. We didn’t even manage to get through everything before closing, which only gives me another reason to come back. Everything felt well looked after, and the whole gallery had such a calm, inspiring vibe. I’d absolutely recommend visiting the NGV if you’re in Melbourne and looking for something to do in the CBD. It’s packed with history, culture, and beauty, and it’s the kind of place that makes you want to return again and again.

After Six years，I visited here again. There were many tourists and many interesting exhibitions, which were really amazing. After visiting the exhibition, you can also have a cup of coffee or some afternoon tea here, buy some art souvenirs, and there are many books worth reading.

The National Gallery of Victoria is such a gem in Melbourne! ✨ From the moment you walk in, the space feels inspiring and full of creativity. The mix of classic art and modern exhibitions is amazing—you’ll always find something new that surprises you. The building itself is beautiful, and it’s the perfect spot to spend a few hours wandering, reflecting, or just enjoying the vibe. Definitely one of my favorite places in the city! 🎨

It has been years since I was last at the Shrine and I cannot remember it looking so well kept and iconic. This area is such a wonderful part of Melbourne to walk around and to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for Australia. The trees around the Shrine are dedicated to various Battalions and units throughout the ADF history. Thank you so much to everyone involved in the maintenance of one of Australia's most sacred areas.

A Profoundly Moving and Beautiful Experience The Shrine of Remembrance is one of the most peaceful and powerful places in Melbourne. The architecture is stunning, the views of the city from the balcony are breathtaking, and the exhibitions inside are informative and emotionally touching. It’s not just a monument, it’s a tribute to history, sacrifice, and remembrance. The eternal flame, the sanctuary, and the hourly Ray of Light ceremony were deeply moving. Highly recommend visiting, whether you’re a local or a tourist. It’s a perfect place to reflect, learn, and pay respects. Free entry and beautifully maintained grounds make it even more worthwhile.

The Shrine of Remembrance is far more than just a monument, it is a moving experience and one of Melbourne's most important landmarks. Visitors should be sure to explore the Galleries of Remembrance beneath the structure. These galleries house exhibitions featuring artifacts, personal stories, and interactive displays. The experience is both educational and emotional. A climb to the Balcony is highly recommended, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Melbourne skyline.

A beautiful and peaceful place that I often visit. The architecture is impressive, and the view from the top gives a great look over the Melbourne skyline. The lush gardens around it add to the serene atmosphere. It’s a war memorial built to honour all Australians who have served and continue to serve in wars and peacekeeping missions. There’s also a museum inside with interesting displays and personal stories. It’s a place where you could sit for hours, switch off, and reflect. Definitely worth a visit.

It is an amazing place to visit, to learn the history of war. You’d better allow 3 hours to visit the place. There are street parking available that peak hours $4/ hour and off-peak $2/ hour.

I were surprised there is no charge for visiting Shrine of Remembrance. Donations are accepted. Great place to visit and learn about Australian military involvement around the world 🌎 The architecture is impressive and the view of the city is breathtaking. Thank you all who sacrifice to keep us safe. Peace be on earth 🌎 🙏

The place is truly grand and beautiful, absolutely magnificent. If you visit Melbourne, this is definitely a must-see. Underneath the structure, there’s a museum that you can visit for free.

We attended the moonlight stories show in the night. It’s EXTRAORDINARY!!! The light and the music were amazing!!!

Lovely classic style lighthouse, however views over the ocean from the ground are obscured by foliage.

A great addition to the tulip farm visit. The lighthouse is close by 1km and provides a great view of the lake and surrounding countryside.

So beautiful along the coast. You can drive up even though it's closed through the week.

Lovely walk from Lighthouse to Table Cape much more relaxing than driving between the 2! 20min stroll each way even dallying to snap photos. Path being upgraded so safe for anyone other than true tearaways. One pitch up/down to take care but I am not fitness freak and enjoyed it!!

We stopped here to checkout the lighthouse before going around to the lookout to enjoy the views. You can have a tour of the lighthouse if your there at the right time. You may want to enjoy the short walk from either if you like to park at one and walk to the other. There are picnic tables at each site if you like to stop for lunch or a snack and enjoy the view.

Not a lot to see - but good views over the neighbouring tulip farm and lake. Nice picnic benches but no real view of the sea, and no other services.

Very cool place to see lots of gorgeous unique art work, beautiful gifts too. Wall of paper so darn cool, & the paper mache life size figurines WOW, highly recommend visiting & the pictures made from magazines.... Mind blowing 💗💗💗

A highlight of Burnie, a place where you can view and purchase local artisans wares. Also has a good tourist information and Papermaking workshop,...Definitely worth doing. Cafe is busy and average price.

Well worth a visit to watch many various arts and crafts being made. There's also a pictorial history of Burnie and a couple of really interesting installations.

Collection of unique local art and other pieces, including a cafe and lots of local attractions. You can access from the beach boardwalk

Kids throughly enjoyed the paper making tour inside. Learnt alot and even dicided to purchase a paper making kit after the tour. Our tour guide was full of knowledge about all things paper. Would recomend if your in the area and if the weather is not great, as was our case, perfect indoor activity. Also has art work and various other stores.

Made paper, looked at restored coal loader made in Burnie. Little penguins are located by board walk. Local artists display their art. Very interesting.

A must see when in Burnie. Take a paper making tour and see how paper is made. The Makers' Workshop has very helpful and friendly staff, especially Darren on the paper making tour; he's very knowledgeable and passionate about the paper making process and it shows; an asset to the place. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about the process. You also get the chance to make paper at the end, awesome experience.

What an amazing place! It’s bursting with color and textures everywhere you look. I was thrilled to spot two adorable platypuses in different lakes—such a fun surprise! The staff were incredibly friendly and shared some wonderful stories about the grounds that made the visit even more special.

Was $15 entry which surprised me at first, but after walking through grounds you can tell that they’re well looked after. Also saw a few platypus’ and pademelons which was cool! I didn’t eat at the cafe but it smelt amazing when I walked past.

Lovely little spot, $15 per adult without concession, very nice spot for a wander, spent around 2 hours here wandering about admiring the plants, bugs and little creatures. Quite enjoyed watching the bumblebees flying around gathering their pollen. But also was lucky spotting a Potoroo and what appeared to be an eastern barred bandicoot. Very nice would visit again.

Went for the Autumn Spectacular and it lived up to the name. Truly spectacular!! The colours were just incredible. Definitely recommend spending a couple of hours walking through the gardens, around the lake and just taking it all in.

Beautiful gardens and lovely cafe for a Devonshire tea afterwards! Highly recommend you partake in both the walk and the scones.

We were a couple of many visitors viewing this garden, which showcases a spectacular array of Rhododendrons, annuals and perennials in an entire range of colours. The displays in early November are a “must see” and everywhere is an eruption of blooms. A highlight of northern Tassie.

Started with lunch, excellent. We then strolled down to where the platypuses were. Then we went up and around and and should have taken a map. So many sights to see. Coming back again when they are in full bloom.

Absolutely wonderful park. Feed kangaroos, so many experiences you can have. We did a capyboro experience. Kids loved it! Truly worth the trip in. Cafe on site. The animals are rescues and incredibly well cared for. A must do trip.

A Peaceful Haven at Wings Wildlife Park Wings Wildlife Park is a true gem nestled in the tranquil Gunns Plains countryside. From the moment you arrive, there’s a deep sense of peace in the air—surrounded by lush hills and the soft sounds of nature, it's the perfect escape from the busy world. What makes this place truly special is the heartfelt vision behind it. The idea to bring together native and exotic animals, farm life, and genuine hospitality in one place is simply brilliant. It’s more than just a wildlife park—it feels like a living, breathing sanctuary shaped with passion and care. The animals are clearly well loved, and the enclosures are thoughtfully designed. I especially enjoyed the Tasmanian devils. The caretakers were incredibly informative, sharing stories and facts with warmth and enthusiasm, which made the experience both educational and memorable. Wings Wildlife Park is not just a place to visit—it’s a place to slow down, connect with animals, and appreciate the quiet beauty of Tasmania’s rural heart.

The best zoo I have been to in Australia. marmoset and meerkat encounters are relatively cheap and you get to hand feed and spend up to 20mins in each enclosure. the monkeys like climbing on you and hanging out which was our highlight. The breadth of animals they have is great and would highly recommend to anyone.

Lovely day. Friendly staff. Loved the Tassie devil encounter. Wish the cafe had vegetarian and vegan offerings. If you love animals perhaps don’t eat so many of them?!?!

We loved this place, so much to see. The moment I arrived i got to see beautiful wombats and a few tassie devils (Yani and Sydney) close up. Amazing place, really well laid out so you could take your time to see everything and get close. We had a cold day and finished with a beautiful soup in the Cafe. 10/10 Staff were super lovely also

Very interesting place. The lady at reception was very enthusiastic and all other staff i saw were extremely happy and helpful. A great experience feeding fish and kangaroos. Was also great to walk through the farm area. The drive down was scenic and beautiful, I have rarely seen such amazing scenery. There are a few single lane roads, so be careful driving if its dusk. Many animals are rescues and it is such a wonderful thing to see them being taken care of.

Great place to visit for a whole family. Kids really love to see different kinds of animals from wild life to farm. A peaceful and calm atmosphere to feel when visiting this place. We will plan to camp if we have a chance.

Our tour was unbelievable, hands down one of the best caves I’ve been too in Australia. Our tour guide Trish was hilarious, knew how to make us all laugh, have a good time and give a tonne of information about the caves. One thing I love is that these guys know how to give you and incredible experience as well as have a fun time doing it, definitely will be coming back and referring anyone who visits to see you guys! Thanks again Trish !

Good value for the entry fee, tour went for approx an hour and the cave is very interesting and you see a fair bit! Worth the trip if you're in the area, great to combine with other activities to make a day of it. Parking was good and there was toilets at the entry. We had a large group made up of multiple smaller groups, but the guide did a good job of making sure everyone saw things and rotated front people etc. Glow worms are cool to see at the end.

We have been to many caves over the years but these are very special and unique. Not really a great place if you have any mobility restrictions as a few places like the entry entale a steep ladder decent. We loved it here and found the guided tour to be intriguing.

We were not sure what to expect as we've seen a number of caves when we lived on the west coast, but this one was pretty spectacular! Our tour guide Ben was very passionate and knowledgeable; we learned quite a bit. Thank you for the Mt Paris Dam recommendation, we loved it. Also, we've been meaning to review you guys for months so apologies for the delay.

Great tour for $20. Ben was very knowledgeable and approachable about the caves and the area. Spectacular formations. We drove in from Burnie and out through Ulverstone, both great drives.

Great experience. Friendly staff and a tour filled with humor and great information. Visited Sept 15th end of morning. No waiting time, but no public holiday

We were so fortunate to be able to just turn up and join a guided tour. Our guide Ben was fantastic and we really enjoyed the whole experience

Travelling on the Spirit of Tasmania is most definitely the best way I find to travel to & from Tassie for holidays & photoshoots. I can take my own car, taking as much luggage & gear as I need, and return back home to Geelong with lots of uniquely Tasmanian produce like honey, ciders, raspberry jams, gins & wines. The service from the staff, both onboard and on land is exceptional....friendly, efficient, attentive and helpful. All of my 14 crossings have been comfortable & relaxing with the on deck furniture, photos of Tassie on the walls, or the views from the windows. There is plenty of variety of good food from both the TMK and the bar on Deck 9; and entertainment in the cinemas, performers on Deck 9 or people promoting Tasmanian produce. I choose to travel overnight and book 'inside cabins' with their own toilet & showers, as there is less rock & roll if there are any swells & rough seas etc in the Strait. Also, that way, I am not wasting a day travelling and can get going first thing in the mornings to see, photograph & experience the beauty of Tassie. The embarking and disembarking processes are quick & efficient, especially considering the number of people & vehicles that are travelling most times. It is also a lovely view and experience to see both Geelong(my hometown) and Devonport from a different POV when standing on the decks photographing.

This was our 3rd time to Tasmania on the Spirit., enjoyed it all. We have taken motorhome before, then tent another time. This time travelled in our vehicle to hire a van in TAS. Staff doing the boarding were great in directing traffic on and off. Very clean and comfortable whichever way you choose and we have done all modes. Staff very helpful, food and drinks great. For us the Spirit is our favourite way to get to Tasmania. Hopefully I’ll get to sail on one of the new SOT although this trip possibly is our last( sadly) We love Tassie, the people, history and the amazing scenery everywhere.. highly recommend this journey to everyone❤️❤️❤️

Very organised, friendly staff good facilities, we had the theatre all to ourselves. Cabin was squeezy might get a bigger one next time. A bit of a rolling journey.

I traveled to Tasmania recently for a 10 days holidays with my Amiga Anne, & we went on board the Spirit of Tasmania Ferry with Anne’s car. We booked on line, travelling by day with reckliner seats & booked a cabin on our trip back to Geelong port last Sunday night 12/10/25. Being both pensioners we got a huge discount on our tickets. We both enjoyed both trips there & back, & I will recommend to all my friends & family to have a go & travel to Tasmania with the ferry! Thank you! Zhennie Thomson

Love taking the Spirit of Tasmania to Tassie for trips. Very easy when you want to take your car (or not)! Great staff across the board, and the onboard amenities are great, including the cabins (can only speak on behalf of the twin or bunk rooms, however am sure all variations are great). Comfortable and well priced. We personally wouldn’t choose to travel to Tassie and back any other way.

Our second journey on the Spirit and we loved it! Our amenities were spotlessly clean and comfortable. Meals and services provided were excellent! Praise to the staff and crew for their efforts.

I had a wonderful trip over on the Spirit of Tasmania. From the lady who gave me my boarding pass with a friendly smile and clear directions for where to go next, to the man who made my vegetable pizza and was thrilled when I told him I enjoyed it. The experience was fun, easy and relaxing. Ammenities excellent.

Such a lovely location for a house made hot chocolate! There are viewing windows to have a look at what is being made or decorated in store. There's a separate building where you can buy the housemade chocolates. A cafe to have breakfast or a light lunch. Cafe on the pricey side but nice if you're passing through. Friendly staff. Beautiful grounds with a play area for the kids!

Got there early on Saturday morning and it was a great way to start the day after getting off the ferry. Food was fantastic, hot chocolate was divine, and service by the young woman serving (It was an A name! I'm so sorry, I did ask and then forgot!) was excellent. Definitely my go-to stop next time I'm catching the ferry over from the mainland.

This was the one location I was excited to see in my trip. The museum is very informative and you can watch them at work - but the waffles and hot chocolate combo was beyond amazing. Don’t forget to pop by the shop and buy some choccies ☺️.

My granddaughter Zoe and myself visited Amvers before Zoe was to head to the mainland on the Spirit. We both had a toasted sandwich with different ingredients and they were both delicious. Then we finished off sharing a chocolate slice which also was delicious The atmosphere, staff friendliness and the general outlook make Anvers a beautiful place to visit to enjoy food and the company you have with you. It is very relaxing. AND THE CHOCOLATE 🍫 IS SO SO YUMMY! GO AND I BELIEVE YOU WILL AGREE 😃

Very interesting place to visit. It has made me appreciate the art of chocolate making again. Pretty surroundings and well presented. Love the free taster bag.

An elegant chocolate tourist factory 🍫🏭 It’s good to have a hot chocolate with the self guided tour!! We learned the history of chocolate in Tasmania and saw lots of equipment in the window cases ✨ We really enjoyed watching the chocolate chef performed in front of us!!🤤 The food and desserts here were amazing!! Good quality, beautiful, delicious and inexpensive with large quantities!!! And the staff here were very friendly too!! It’s a must visit attraction especially it just takes 10-15 minutes from Devonport CBD👍🏻

Nice friendly service. If unsure what to choose for the day, waitress can recommend you the best on the day. Viewing their museum and cooking window then grap a raspberry slice "yum yum"

A must visit on your travels through the area! Family-friendly fun! Lots to explore, mazes galore! Cafe has alot of choice for food and drinks. The plain scones are warm served with jam and cream or date scones served with date/maple butter & cream. Fresh & delicious! Clean toilet facilities for all & a kids playground our kids loved! Cute little gift gallery too & highly recommend the show bags for purchase!

So much fun! The mazes are amazing and there are extra things that we discovered within the maze. Reception gave us a list and we spent a fun day finding all the items on the list. Love the lower village of Crackpot. Great fun for any age.

Great family outing and we love the hospitality of the staff. Specially Gayle was wonderful. Thought was raining but after a few minutes the weather was great. Toilets were clean. There is a cafe that serve hot food till 3:30 pm and restaurant closes at 3:00 pm. A gift shop with delicious ice cream and loads of gifts to take away. There is a lavender farm as well that you can visit during the right season.

What a weird little place - in a good way! We stopped by on our drive from Launceston to Cradle Mountain on a weekday afternoon. Empty but made it an even better experience - have not been anywhere like it before. It's a selection of mazes and dad jokes, tiny houses and buildings, as well as world landmarks. You need to see it to get it. Staff were very friendly and pleasant and gave us some jams to take home which was lovely. Would come back and highly recommend.

Bit of a delayed review. But my husband and I went to Tasmazia in February for our honeymoon. We just want to say we 100% recommend! Staff were beautiful and lovely. Beautiful food with views. Amazing mazes! And a great all round fun place. If you're looking for something fun and unique to do, definitely come here. There's so much to see and unique amazing sculptures and mazes. They also have the best pudding. Thank you guys for the amazing time and the beautiful food and service you gave us.

Multiple mazes and family fun discoveries, make sure you ask for the puzzle sheet and find the clues to complete the hidden word ; a really well maintained place, fun for any age ; highly recommended

Great fun! Spent 3 hrs there could have easily spent more! Get lost in the maze find the fun things and so much to do!!!

Loved the seahorses but the tour was so rushed. You couldn't stand there and check out all the individual displays or age stages tanks because every single time you were trying to look at them you were told that we needed to move on to the next room now. It was only my son and I and another couple on the tour. So really - pushing us through so fast was entirely unnecessary. The seahorses themselves are actually extremely incredible and mesmerising. Beautiful creatures. Just a shame we were on the clock.

Great place to take the kids on a rainy day in Tasmania. Plenty for them to see and do. A knowledgeable guide and interesting information on seahorses and handfish. Well worth a visit.

This team does great work in conservation. Great facility and really enjoyed the tour. Happy to support this org. Great value for money and very friendly staff.

How very cool!! Amazing work being done here. These little darlings are exported around the world! Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Great gift shop too

The guided tour was informative and fascinating — amazing to see the seahorses up close and learn about their breeding and conservation. It’s a unique experience you don’t often find elsewhere! 🪸

Very informative tour of the setup there. Seahorse are fascinating. The walking fish were really interesting too. Probably a little expensive for what you get, but the kids really enjoyed it.

Loved it. So knowledgeable, such amazing work. So many cute seahorses, and you even get to touch one. Highly recommended.

Had a fantastic time at Platypus House in Beauty Point! The guided tour was both fun and educational, our guide Maddy had shared so much interesting information. It was incredible to see platypuses swimming and feeding up close, and the echidnas were such a highlight, wandering right around our feet. A unique and memorable experience, well worth the visit.

We joined the 2 PM tour today, and the lady who guided us for about 45 minutes was amazing! She had excellent knowledge of everything she was explaining, even though she looked quite young. Her enthusiasm and nonstop explanations throughout the session were truly impressive — she really deserves 5 stars for her effort and passion! It was also great to see how well the facility is maintained, making the whole experience very pleasant and comfortable for visitors.

Great experience, very knowledgeable staff. we have been here several times and it’s always been a great experience. The first time we came here there was a member of the National Geographic team their photographing the platypus.

Falling in love with platypus and echidna deeply after visiting Platypus House OMGGGG!!!! It’s enjoyable to watch the naughty platypus show( eating, swimming and scratching ). We’re so lucky to see the shy female platypus in the case✨ I especially loved the echidna walking around us while they were trying to find the food. Super cute 🥰 It’s so good to have such a place to encounter them 🥰🥰

Great conservation work by this team. Very friendly staff. Loved the tour and seeing the platypus and echidnas. Great value for money.

We absolutely loved our visit to Platypus World! Our guide, Ella, was fantastic.....so thorough and incredibly knowledgeable in her field. We learned so many amazing facts, and she was happy to answer every question we had (and always had the answers!). Ella you can see is very passionate about the animals, the place has such a friendly atmosphere. The echidnas were our absolute favourite they are so funny, full of personality, and always hungry! 🦔 We couldn’t stop smiling watching them. They really ate cute. Thank you so much, Ella, for making this such an amazing and memorable tour. Highly recommend to anyone visiting!

Excellent. Very informative walk through the world of the Platypus and the Echidnas. Very thorough staff.

A great look at the Beaconsfield mine but also a step back into the past, great for kids or adults who are interested in the mines / the great rescue. There’s a playground across the road and a pub nearby too.

A must visit! Brilliant museum. The staff were lovely. There were so many things for the children to interact with plus they received a sticker and precious stones at the end of our visit. They were very excited. The museum is very informative and well curated. Couldn’t recommend it more.

An easy 5 Stars, one of the best museums I’ve been too and is well worth the $22 entry fee. Friendly staff who gave a run down of the map and what to see. So much hands on stuff, old engines and another Tangyes from Birmingham. Of course the main course was the Rescue room with good detail of how the 2 lads were saved and how many people risked their own lives to make it happen. A great display. Also learned about how the whole place nearly went down a collapsing shaft in 2016. Wow! So much to see and do, you’ve just got to do it!

Very poignant and sensitively presented exhibits showcasing yesteryear and the Mine disaster chronicling the events that happened which affected the entire community at the time. Well worth visiting this place as part of Tasmanian historical interest

Wow! What a lot of history! Great place to spend a few hours looking at all the sites. I love how this place is not all under one roof. Its interesting, interactive, and very well presented. Lovely staff too. Would definitely recommend, especially if you remember watching the news when the miners were trapped back in 2006

Awesome doesn't describe just how great this place is. It's a beautiful mix of new, old, hope, and interactivity. The interactiveness is second to none. You can ring the bell for the shaft, take a photo from the same angle as the world famous photo of the boys coming put, and you can actually stand in the lift. It's just a really awesome place and a must do for anyone who remembers the disaster and ensuring rescue.

Omg, this place just blew our minds away. Remembering back to the day when the collapse happened and then learning about it more and more was an experience that was well worth it. The staff were very informative and helped in every way they could. I'm not a museum type of person but found this to be one of the best experiences I have done.

Nice cellar door and food experience. It was very quite when we were here but the staff were friendly albeit very quite. The pizza was certainly interesting in a good way. There was also wines available from what I presume is linked brands (such as House of Arras). Worth a look, hopefully it’s more lively!!!

Nice wine tasting ($5, refunded with purchase), friendly service (I think her name was Laurel?), and indoor and outdoor seating with a lovely view of the vineyard. After tasting (or skip the tasting if you already know what you like!), you can purchase a couple of glasses of wine and some nibbles to enjoy the view. We got a cheese platter with generous amounts of cheese, yummy pickled green tomatoes, and lovely poached pear (only an extra $3 for two cheeses, instead of just one selection).

After thinking we’d tried all the wine the Tamar Valley had to offer, we went to Bay of Fires winery on a cool Sunday morning and loved every single second. This was one of the best cellar door experiences, which just happens to coincide with exceptional wines. Couldn’t recommend a visit more highly.

Lovely tasting experience. We were a bit late to our tasting but the lady there was able to accommodate. If you want quality wines this is it. Really enjoyed that she went into great detail about the background and how the wines produced VS the typical tasting that only tells you about the flavour profile. Bought a few sparklings and whites here.

Fabulous experience for $20pp. Learned so much about the crafting of sparklings from Ebony, our cheerful, non-pushy, knowledgeable and very generous host. Would definitely recommend this cellar door experience and the chance to taste and buy some lovely Arras and Bay of Fire wines.

As Arras is one of my preferred go to sparklings when I am out, my husband and I decided to book a tasting whilst in the area. We were greeted by the beautiful Flinders and then appeared Will by her side. Will is very knowledgeable and is very easy to listen to. I can say we certainly weren't disappointed with any of the one on one and I now value what I drink. All the hard work and dedication it takes to deliver the product to the table is amazing. I have also worked out I am a vintage lover so I may now need to order direct, what a shame. Thank you Will and Flinders for yout time and experience. I cannot wait to drink my purchases. Call ahead and book a tasting you will not be disappointed

A wonderful tasting experience - we ended up having a private one! Very knowledgeable and friendly host. Not in a rush. We snagged a bonus taste of the sparkling rose which was our favourite. Would definitely recommend - just be sure to make a booking as we did. Great value for $20 pp.

One of our stops along the cheese, wine, and honey taste trails certainly deserves a mention in the review. The setup is excellent, allowing visitors to see through their facility and the impressive racks of cheese barrels. I would highly recommend their cheese platter and/or charcuterie, and the toasties are simply divine. Please consider adding it to your list when you visit Tasmania.

Really nice stop — the hot chocolate and chai were excellent, and the whole place is fun to explore. Great cheese display, friendly staff and a relaxed farm atmosphere. Loved the colourful cow sculptures outside too. A visit worth making if you’re passing through.

We just happened to be travelling past and dropped by to taste some delicious cheese and have some ice cream made in site. All delicious. It’s a lovely clean and spacious venue. You get detailed information from their displays and you get to see the cheese in storage, it was interesting. Bought some cheese and crackers, reasonably priced.

Was a short stop for a coffee but was a worthwhile one a must visit stop if you are driving to cradle mountain. All about cheese and variety of them … cheese platter was good and toast with truffle was decadent!

Always love a visit here! Nice selection of cheeses and other local goodies for sale. It has grown over the last 11 years nice to see the display of cheeses maturing. I love the cow statues out the front! Friendly staff.

A little pricey, but that's all to be expected at places like this. The coffees came out warm, which was extremely disappointing. The cheese platter and nachos with jug of cheese tasted good. Bought a few items from the gift shop.

Just filled our hotel fridge with delicious Ashgrove cheese! We always visit when in the area, and Ashgrove never dissapoint. Brilliant cheese with a wide variety of flavours. We loved the newer area with all the information about how the cheese is made, lots of interactive stuff for the kids to learn too.

Definitely worth a visit! Su gave us a fantastic tour, she was friendly, knowledgeable, and even showed us some fun tricks. She clearly knows a lot about the cave and the creatures living inside. The glowworms were absolutely magical, like stars twinkling in the night sky. It was so quiet and peaceful. The crystal formations were stunning,nature never ceases to amaze me!

I did the great cathedral and glow worms tour. The caves and glow worms were fascinating. The tour guide we had was really engaging. While I was warned of the stairs on this tour I think it’s very doable for most people. You only do a handful of stairs at a time before a break to look and learn. Definitely a must do while in the area.

Wow! Surreal being in the depths of the cave. Wonderful tour. We had a tour guide who sung in the cathedral part of the cave - i will never forget that experience. It was beautiful. Im not very fit, and thought this may be way out of my comfort zone, but it was definitely doable. Check out the tour times before you go, to avoid any long wait times

It was an amazing experience seeing the Caves, learning how they formed millions of years ago, the grandeur is indescribable. It is definitely a place you need to witness for yourself. I recommend taking the guided tour. John was an awesome guide

Amazing caves, definitely worth a visit, did a tour of Marakoopa Cave on the underground river and glow worms tour. Guide Renee was very knowledgeable. The formations were beautiful and the glow worms felt like a surreal experience. Highly recommend.

Great inexpensive activity, not far from Launceston. I loved learning about the caves history. Shannon very friendly and knowledgeable. We'll be back with our children, they'd love it!

I’ve been on quite a few cave tours and I would highly rate this one! (I did the Cathedral and Glow Worm tour.) Saw lots of glow worms, cave formations were fantastic, and there is a river running through the cave which adds an extra dimension. Tour was a good 50mins and our guide Sharon was fantastic. Do the 15 minute nature walk between the ticket office and the caves if you can - very pretty!

Love being able to get up close with our Tasmanian animals. Also love that this sanctuary cares for animals that can't got back out into the wild, or help them rehabilitate. I feel the sanctuary needs a bit of money spent on some areas that are getting a little tired. Its a wonderful spot and I hope they can get a grant to help.

Very fun day! I had a good experience here. Met many lovely animals. It was my first time to pat a little wombat and tassie devil so soft and cute. Recommend be there before 11 am for free interactive tours

I was very impressed with the staff and the overall experience. I also appreciate that they provide social services for the animals and am delighted by the care they provide. I especially admire how they ensure the animals' comfort is not compromised by visitors. The sessions led by experts, where one can learn about these species, are truly the highlight. Keep up the good work!

I had an incredible experience at Trowunna. I’m really appreciative of all the amazing work they do here. You can tell they really look after the animals and it makes me so happy that they are able to release healed wildlife back into the wild, and have breeding programs in place to boost numbers of these special species.

My partner and I had a wonderful experience at the sanctuary. Seeing the range of rescue animals and how well they were taken care of was great. We took advantage of one of the free guided tours and got up close to a wombat and Tassie devil. It was also great to have a wander to each of the enclosures and hand feed the kangaroos and birds in between. It was a great trip and recommend people to check it out.

Fantastic experience, very friendly and knowledgeable tour, where else do you get to pat a wombat AND a tassie devil. Well worth the trip, you can spend a couple of hours wandering around feeding the wildlife. Go for the beautiful song put out by the albino magpie!

What a brilliant place this is. A variety of wildlife for everyone to see, and the devil’s weren’t worried about coming out to say hi. There are lots of birds, kangaroos, wallabies and wombats. Brilliant work by staff and highly recommend you going in.

We had an amazing experience at the Queen Victoria Museum in Inveresk! It’s incredible that such a high-quality museum is totally free to visit. There’s so much to see and do, from fascinating exhibits to hands-on activities that keep both kids and adults entertained for hours. It’s a great place for families to spend the day exploring and learning together. Everything is well presented, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Definitely a must-visit spot if you’re in Launceston!

Wow, I absolutely loved this place. It’s so simply understated and that’s exactly what makes it special. While it doesn’t have a huge number of objects, the exhibitions that are there are genuinely interesting. It’s the kind of place you might only visit once or twice, but you’ll remember it. What really stood out to me was how they’ve kept the old warehouses and buildings in such a way that it feels like someone could just walk back in and start using them for their original purpose again. It’s incredible so authentic and thoughtful. The Food Bank gardens run by OzHarvest were unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I’m from Brisbane, and honestly, Brisbane could never compete. There’s this quiet brilliance about it all nothing overdone or trying too hard. It just is, and that’s what makes it wonderful. The staff were really friendly. I did struggle a bit to find where to get coffee and food, but that might’ve been on me. I was on holiday and happy to wander around at my own pace. The layout wasn’t but was confusing, I just didn’t put much effort into figuring it out. I was on holidays and peopled out at that point. I’d recommend everyone visit at least once. It might not have the same spark on repeat visits, but it’s absolutely a must-see.

A really great museum will lots of interesting exhibits! Well worth visiting. At the time of my visit, they had an exhibition of David Hamilton's work!

Theres some good stuff, but no real direction or map to guide you.. due to the layout we nearly the main room. Enjoyed the interactive science display outside!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Queen Victoria Museum at Inveresk is a captivating and diverse cultural hub. Housed in a beautifully restored 19th‑century railway workshop, it offers engaging exhibits on Tasmanian history, natural science, and industrial heritage. Highlights include impressive dinosaur fossils, interactive displays at the Phenomena Factory, and immersive planetarium shows. The museum is well-organized, thoughtfully curated, and free entry makes it accessible for all. Friendly staff enhance the experience, making it a must-visit for families, history buffs, and curious minds.

My party was looking for something inside to do on a day with questionable weather. This fit our interest in history and it's free. The museum shows different parts of Tasmania's history. More open plan than any museum I've been in before but it really works. It allow the people to flow through. There are outbuildings that are there for exploring too, including a public display space. Immediately outside the double doors is the childrens area. It's interactive science. It looked like a lot of fun to this adult. Included among the exhibits that I really liked were the taxidermy and the Tasmainian Tiger sections. That small section of the Tassie Tiger is so tragic and emotional. The final one I liked is travel in Tasmania over time shoes and walking canes, bikes, a side saddle. Basically the why and how's transportation is the way it is in Tasmania, it's unlike anything I've seen in a single place. The Planetarium did cost $9 per adult but it was definitely worth it. We chose to see We Are Stars, featuring the voice of the ever talented Andy Serkis. The presenter, a volunteer (as they all are), skillfully showed us through what was going to be in the sky when that night. I highly recommend taking the time to go to the Planetarium on a trip here. Parking is paid and on the grounds of UTAS Launceston. But it's free if you visit on a Sunday. The site is largely wheelchair accessible. There are certain outbuildings that will be harder to access, most importantly the rail workshop.

This is my favorite location in Launceston. I have visited this location a few times, some alone and some with others and loved it all the same. I appreciated the history, the local culture and the effort to maintain the location. Appreciate the team or better yet community who manages the location.

Normal park..good for walk..haven't seen Monkey ;) its huge and can park outside for 2 hours.. for visitors nothing special

I wish I'd had more time to spend here. It was beautiful. I particularly liked the Sensory Garden. I was there between rain showers and it smelt beautiful. City Park is easily within walking distance of the centre of Launceston, we walked here with coffee. The Japanese Macaques are fun to watch. If you want to go somewhere to spend a few minutes this is a good place they will amuse adults and children alike.

The park is quite big. With the exception of the Japanese snow monkeys, there was not a lot to see. Very little plants and flowers, altho it is winter.

Beautiful park and its always great to visit the iconic Monkeys!

Beautiful park in Launceston Heaps of flowers to see (oct-dec) Even monkeys Plenty of room to sit and relax We highly recommend you visit

A very nice park to have morning or evening walks. There are a few structures to see inside the park as well. It's really quite and peaceful.

Beautiful park to explore and relax. Visiting the monkeys are always the highlight of my day.

The roses I got for my partner from here were wonderful, he adored them. The shop is beautiful and the staff are so lovely and helpful. Will definitely be coming back!

We had the most amazing wedding bouquet made up on the spot by the brilliant Emily. Her first wedding bouquet and she nailed it. The entire Shop were so lovely in providing recommendations for us and well wishes. No notes!!

What a truly lovely shopping experience (& I live in the UK). Exceptional service (even at short notice), beautiful flowers, friendly and professional. I can't recommend Tamar Valley Roses highly enough.

Tania at TVR provides a wonderful customer experience one simple phone call and she never ceases to amaze with her wonderful creations for special occasions for my mother. Also provides great advice on options for monthly visits to cemetery.

Absolutely outstanding service! Megan was so professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to help me. She was so quick with my request and made the whole process effortless. Highly recommend!

First class, five star service from this wonderful florist. Tamar Valley Rose Shop created my perfect Wedding bouquet and my handsome Groom's button hole with short notice for our Elopement.. We couldn't be happier with all that you did for us.

Walked in off the street, for an emergency last minute bridal bouquet for a expedited wedding and the whipped up the most amazing set of bouquets that afternoon.

A must see when visiting Launceston. Beautiful place to visit which you are free to explore the large park,and is of no cost. Follow the many paths,suspension bridge, and board walks along the gorge and enjoy the great views and well kept gardens, river and animals You can swim in the blue pool, or small lake on a good day of course. There is a cafe on site. The chair lift gives you a birds eye view and a fun trip across the valley for $20 return.

This place was absolutely stunning. We took the old school lift to the other side. The view was so peaceful and stunning. You can imagine our excitement seeing a peacock near the other side, only to find there are a dozen more roaming around freely! They are super close but wont allow you to touch them. Wallabies also joined the mix. A few walking paths onsite. Well worth the visit.

Lots of good maps, even better rocks. This place is really good considering its ease of access and proximity to the city. The chairlift was fun, and the bumblebees are friendly. Staff were great and friendly too. #1 pretty rock river that I've seen.

The big highlight of Cataract Gorge, at least for tourists, is the peafowl. I had the pleasure of being there in Spring, mating season, so the boys were on full show. The peahens were treating their prospective mates with a bit of... contempt, it was kind of amusing to me (and just about every other woman I spoke to). This is a truly beautiful a space. It has multiple walking paths for different ability levels, a swimming pool, a suspension bridge and chairlift across the gorge itself. The cafe provides tasty food for a mix of tastes and some souvenirs. There is a bit of something for everyone. There is wheelchair accessibility through the inclinator. There is some accessible parking but I think it would fill up quickly especially in peak periods. Parking is paid.

Cataract Gorge Reserve in Launceston is absolutely stunning! The views are breathtaking, and there’s so much to explore — walking trails, the suspension bridge, and peaceful spots to just sit and enjoy nature. We spent hours taking in the scenery, and it’s the perfect place for a relaxing day out. Definitely a must-visit if you’re in Launceston!

Beautiful natural gorge, so close to the centre of Launceston. Busy parking space with paid parking ($2 per hour) A variety of walks/hikes available, from short stroll along the grass to 1km loop around the gorge basin, or a steep hike. There is a short chair lift that takes you to the other side of the gorge (adult prices are $15 one way or $20 return). Nice cafe with beautiful views. There is a pool, or can swim in the gorge.

Stunning!!!!! Beautiful day spent. Took the chair lift, did a walk and just enjoyed being in nature. Tip:We took the lift from the top to the bottom So we didn’t have to walk up after all the walking around. * pay for it when you enter the reserve.

The Woolmer Estate is a beautiful example of the elegant farm houses of the period. We didn't see inside the main house but the other old farm buildings, particularly the cider room and the shearing shed, were fascinating and the gardens are spectacular.

We stayed in the Gardener's cottage. It was an absolute delight. I loved the feeling of stepping back in time. The cafe was really nice tho doesn't serve alcoholic drinks. But the hot chocolate was delicious. Also the history is interesting. Knowledgeable tour guides. A walk through the rose garden is particularly nice.

I recently visited this restaurant and had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted with genuine warmth and professionalism. The staff were incredibly attentive, polite, and always ready to help without being intrusive. Their service was smooth, quick, and made me feel truly valued as a customer. The highlight of my visit was definitely the food quality, especially the scones. They were perfectly baked—light, fluffy, and fresh, with a beautiful golden crust. The texture and flavour were spot-on, easily some of the best scones I’ve ever had. You can really taste the quality ingredients and the care put into the preparation. Paired with their spreads, it was simply exceptional. The rest of the menu was equally impressive. Every dish was served beautifully, full of flavour, and clearly prepared with attention to detail. The ambiance of the restaurant was clean, welcoming, and comfortable, making the whole experience even better. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations in every way—amazing food, excellent scones, outstanding staff, and a warm atmosphere. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for quality dining and top-tier service.

Did both tours. Ask for the combined package to save. Both interesting tours. Good coffee and food at the restaurant. Art gallery was good to see. A worthy place to visit. Not for profit. Volunteers run it. UNESCO listed. Accomodation looks great. Will stay on next trip

Perfect spot inbetween Cradle Mountain and Hobart! We stopped on the way and enjoyed a lunch at the restaurant which was really surprisingly good. The rose garden is beautiful and the little booklet you get with the self guided tour admission has a lot of interesting information about the place

Our second stay at Woolmers. Our first stay, some years ago, was only one night and we realised we needed so much more time there to explore all the fascinating history, marvel at the Archer family achievements, enjoy the grounds and swoon over the multitude of beautiful roses. This time we booked the Coachman's Cottage for a weekend stay and had a wonderful time. The cottage is very comfortable and quirky, quite the time capsule. We self-catered and didn't want for anything. As a guest you have longer day time hours to wander around the grounds and explore many of the ancillary buildings at your leisure and of course, smell the roses, all 3000 of them which were in magnificent bloom during our stay. We were also fortunate to enjoy a delightful art exhibition in the new visitor centre in the Rose Garden. Woolmers really is the jewel in the crown of heritage properties in Australia, a must see.

Shocking, pathetic, ridiculous food! The staff were very friendly and kind, however upon ordering a tasting platter, expecting something at least average if not excellent, given the lovely location & above average prices, we were genuinely shocked to be served a selection of the cheapest and nastiest supermarket salamis and cheeses, stale bread, all topped off with SALAMI STICKS (!) ... I could never in my dreams imagine to be served salami sticks at a restaurant - you see that stuff at a servo counter. Ham and cheese croissant was cheap supermarket stuff, again with some extremely budget, half-cheese-half-gelatine in it ... Just incredible. Something a 5 year old would put together if you told them to do a restaurant meal. Plain ridiculous. All finished with a bottle of juice that had mould under the lid. Could be just bad luck, but too much of it! The manager here needs to take a serious look at themselves. I don't care we paid a good restaurant price, but one would expect at least a half decent effort. Again - pathetic, ridiculous, to the point one isn't sure whether to laugh or be angry at the stupidity or audacity, whichever it is. Coffee was fine, and again, the staff also lovely - the more embarrassing the experience was, when nice people are made to serve this detestable rubbish to guests.

This was a great find in Ross. It tells the history of the very impressive wool industry in Tasmania as well as interesting facts about the town of Ross. I loved the bins of actual wool shorn from sheep to show you the differences in texture. Each type of wool had info about the sheep breeds used and their utility for both meat and wool production. They also have some gorgeous wool items for sale as well as a small supply of wool and knitting supplies. There was a tourist information section that had plenty of brochures. I loved my visit there and would return to see what new things they had! You can even sign up to knit a scarf for Jim, the door ram to keep him warm in winter!

We really love visiting the Tasmanian Wool Centre when passing through Ross, it's such an interesting place to visit with plenty of worthwhile clothing items and other things at extremely reasonable prices. Plus I absolutely loved the John Coburn Textile Artwork hanging up on exhibition. Also always nice meeting Tanya.😊

A not-for-profit centre founded in 1988 that combines a woollen retail shop with a museum/exhibition of wool & regional/local history. It’s Tasmania’s largest retailer of woollens in the sense of variety and scale in that region, focusing on quality, sustainability, and showcasing Tasmanian/Australian wool. Some products are locally made, others are sourced overseas but with rules around materials. The museum part (Wool Exhibition + History Gallery) includes artefacts, photographs, exhibits about sheep breeds, wool processing, convict history, stories of the town of Ross, etc.. the only draw back is prices are high

The staff here are very welcoming and also very helpful. The museum part of this place is very informational on the history of Ross

Great place to visit for quality wool products and the history of wool in the local area.

What a gem of a place! Would like to commend this business for the top quality products they stock. A recent purchase of matching Iris and Wool garments were carefully packaged and delivered promptly interstate. A stunning ensemble. Thank you for assistance with the transaction as well. Very happy customer 😊

What a fabulous shop ! Great clothing and gifts for sale, plus a wool museum and plenty of local history. Excellent friendly staff. Really worth stopping for.

Great tour and tasting, talked to the distillers! Under new ownership, they are expanding and fixing up the site. No lunch option and the moment only coffee and cake other than the whisky. Not much else around the area other than nant. But enjoyed my visit!

Location is beautiful. Staff friendly and helpful. Whisky is superb, cask strength port barrel is my personal favourite. Tours are worthwhile, as they show you through the mill, and then go through the whole whisky making process, which you you an appreciation for the prices of good whisky.

Definitely worth a visit for beginners or experts of whisky. Beautiful sandstone distillery with a working flour mill. Great tour of the building and they show you how the flour mill works during the tour too. Exceptional whisky for tasting and make sure you look out for the platypuses in the pond.

My first visit in 4 years and under new owners. It is such a beautiful and picture perfect Tasmanian distillery. Staff were very friendly and the whiskey is superb. Visitors need to support these ventures that are not on the main roads. Well worth a visit.

The tour and tasting here is a fantastic experience. The property is beautiful and the distillery is a historic masterpiece. Bonnie was our guide and she is a wealth of knowledge and obviously passionate about Tassie whiskeys. If you like good whiskey and want to go see how it's made, make a trip to the Nant!

Excellent tour, amazing staff and beautiful setting. Well worth the visit. Plans to have the kitchen fully running soon, but still doing tea, coffee, cake, cheese and ploughman's platters, so good for a morning tea or light lunch. Whisky tasting excellent of course!!!

Yes it is opened again! 7 days a week after it was bought by the new owners in Feb. Kim and Dean both took us through a tasting and we loved Kim's chocolate mudcake infused with port cask nant whisky. The tasting was delicious and we bought some port cask whisky. Staff were fantastic. Grounds are fantastic. Whisky is fantastic. Heading back to do a full tour tomorrow with more time.

We came for lunch and the food is just phenomenal. Service is also really fantastic and they had a great selection of drinks including cocktails. Unfortunately we were driving so couldn't take advantage of the main attraction - the whiskey. I'll be recommending this place to anyone and everyone visiting Tasmania.

A brilliant distillery experience. We opted for for lunch and a whisky tasting and even though we didn't have time for the tour I felt we still learned a lot about the whisky. Josh who looked after us was an exceptional host, his wealth of knowledge and infectious enthusiasm was a highlight of the whole experience. Even though it is described as a distillery that does food instead of a restaurant each course we had was delicious and paired well with the 8 seperate drams we got to sample.

An unforgettable stop in Oatlands! The whisky here is world-class — smooth, complex, and beautifully crafted. The tasting experience is informative and personal, with passionate staff guiding you through each dram. The food is equally impressive. Locally sourced, expertly cooked, and perfectly paired with the whisky — especially the pork belly and chocolate tart! A perfect blend of history, flavour, and Tasmanian hospitality. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Worth a stop by if passing through. Happened on this place accidentally in search for a toilet and it became my favorite piece of architecture I have seen in Tasmania. The whole vibe is wonderful. We did not do the tasting or tour but even without it is worth the stop. Lots of history and information and an overall nice place to be. (Go get the scones at the pancake and crepe shop next door while you are here. Thank me later)

Such a wonderful experience at Callington Mill! The whisky tasting was excellent with a great variety to try, each one smooth and full of character. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the location itself is beautiful with so much history. A must-visit for whisky lovers in Tasmania!

Spectacular lunch and drinks. The photos speak for themselves. All the staff were lovely and very attentive. The only feedback I'd give is around providing a baby change table in upstairs bathrooms so team members don't have to be taken off the floor to provide access downstairs.

On the drive home to Hobart, we took a spontaneous detour into Oatlands and stopped at Callington Mill. what an incredible piece of history! Next, we wandered into the Callington Mill distillery, where we were greeted so warmly by Will. We each decided to try a tasting paddle, and what an experience it was! Every whisky was exceptional, making it nearly impossible to choose a favourite —but in the end, we left with a bottle of El Sol single malt, matured in ex-Sherry fortified wine casks from Jerez, Spain. Absolutely divine. The hospitality was just as remarkable as the whisky, making the entire visit unforgettable. Without a doubt, we’ll be back ~ to dine, to explore, and to soak up more of this beautiful place.
