Quamby Estate Lodge – RiverFly accommodation

 

 Quamby Estate www.quambyestate.com.au, 15 minutes west of Launceston is the accommodation base for RiverFly Tasmania and its guests. Quamby Estate is part of Anthology, an eco-tourism travel company who also owns and operates the world famous Cradle Mountain Huts and Bay of Fires Walks.  

 Completed in the 1830’s, this magnificent homestead is a rare example of Anglo-Indian architecture. On arrival, the treelined driveway and extensive sweeping grounds (which also include a nine-hole golf course) are reminiscent of an English parkland setting. The homestead’s spacious reception rooms have soaring ceilings with the original decorative cornices and marble fireplaces. Grand French doors open onto a wide flag-stoned verandah with turned timber columns and decorative balustrades. Timber shutters line the windows from inside, originally intended to provide protection from bushrangers. Two rose garden courtyards and a tennis court adjoin the homestead.

 Guest rooms have been impeccably restored in keeping with the home’s original features without compromising today’s luxuries. Modern bathrooms, luxury bedding and flat screen televisions are just a few of the new additions. The homestead also has a magnificent billiard room, drawing room and dining room. The modern kitchen is located at the rear of the building, and the 3-room cellar below was once the convict workers’ quarters.
