A stunning 1830s mansion, just 25 minutes from Hobart, Tynwald offers both bed and breakfast and self-catering accommodation. Set amid 16 riverfront hectares in Tasmanias' beautiful Derwent Valley, you can stroll at your leisure, breathe in the fresh country air and imagine the days gone by.

Within the grounds is a mill dating from 1820, the first flourmill in the district.

The rich history of this elegant mansion has been retained, all rooms are furnished with genuine antiques, giving it a special ambience. Still with all the modern comforts, and some rooms have a spa.

The Granary is a self-catering quaint stone cottage, formerly the grain store for the old mill. Borrow the fishing rods and try your luck, just beyond the front door.

The peaceful scenery outdoors can be admired while ambling along the river walks which lead to a wetlands park and sanctuary for many birds, and to the esplanade of New Norfolk 2 kilometres away. Or ride a mountain bike supplied by your hosts.

After a wonderful relaxing day, return to indulge in a sumptuous gourmet dinner prepared by the restaurant chefs, featuring fresh local produce and quality Tasmanian wines.

Tynwald is the perfect venue for your small intimate wedding, for larger groups we invite you to have your ceremony in our beautiful grounds even if your reception is elsewhere. Please contact us for more details.
