The quaint little village of Westbury, centrally located in the Northern Tasmania, is the perfect base from which to explore Launceston, Devonport, the Tamar wineries, Cradle Mountain, the Mole Creek Caves, the Northwest, and, of course our many local attractions. Westbury was established in the 1820's as a garrison town, and is the home of The White House Museum and Woodfired Bakery, Village Green, The Westbury Maze, Pearn's world famous Steam World and many historic buildings.

We also have a 1920's Bungalow, which has accommodation for up to 7 guests. Our cottages all have fully equipped kitchens, and we supply everything you need for a big breakfast - bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, cereals, home baked bread and afternoon tea "goodies", home made jams, juice, cereals, teas and coffees. Our six cottages have from one to four bedrooms each and can accommodate up to twenty four guests in thirteen bedrooms; however each cottage is for your exclusive use with your own lounge room, kitchen/dining, bathroom and laundry. There is also a central BBQ area. Most cottages have a AAA 4 star rating. Some are yet to be rated by AAA, but all are of the same standard. At the end of your day enjoy a quiet evening in front of our cosy gas log fires, or dine out at a local restaurant - the choice is yours. Supermarket, bottle shop and Andy's Bakery all nearby. Westbury is an easy 25 minute drive from Launceston Airport, and 45 minutes from Devonport's Spirit of Tasmania terminal.
