Hamlet Downs near Mt Field National Park, Maydena and the South West Wilderness area, offers 4 Star serviced apartments or self contained accommodation and fabulous meals.

If you are travelling between Hobart and Strahan or visa versa, Hamlet Downs is the perfect stopover to refresh you and your family or friends before proceeding. Relax, have a great meal using our own produce, enjoy a walk here or at the Russell Falls in the Mount Field National Park, or have a relaxing drink at the cafe next to the Tyenna River. Want some adventure, then we can book a trip to the fabulous lookout on top of the Eagles' Eyrie as part of the Maydena Adventure Hub activities or have a go on the Jet Boat on the Derwent River.

The restored farmhouse and adjoining additions offer some of the best Tasmanian accommodation experiences. Our 4 bedroom facility is nestled on 36 acres at Fentonbury Hamlet, a 60 minute drive from Hobart.

Guest bedrooms have ensuite or private bathrooms. Views to the garden and fields. There are no shared internal facilities so groups may enjoy their stay with privacy.

Start your day with continental or cooked breakfasts and enjoy dinner featuring our own seasonal produce. There is no need to prebook dinner from our a la carte menu featuring light meals or something more substantial. For something completely different, try our Greek dishes or better still have a Greek Feast with 2 or 3 courses of delicious authentic Mediterranean cuisine. Minimum of 2 persons and 24 hours notice required to prepare these special dishes.

Hair dryers, tv, cd and video players, electric blankets, tea and coffee making facilities are all provided.

Our gardens feature overflowing beds of cottage flowers intermingled with native plants and berry bushes. Walk along our 1.6 kilometre track to our orchard and a series of water ponds where you may see our wild platypus. Nocturnal wildlife is abundant with possums, echidnas, wallabies and bandicoots often seen. Bird watching is a must with over thirty types seen in summer.
