About this property
Tynwald Hop Kiln
Tynwald Hop Kiln is ideally situated in one of the finest scenic parklands in Tasmania.
It is an historical landmark, nestled on the banks of the Derwent Valley in Tynwald Park within a 10 minute walk to the High Street.
The period accommodation features:
Wi Fi connectivity, blue tooth Sony Speaker, Netflix and Smart TV.
Tynwald Hop Kiln has been tastefully renovated by skilled artisans over many years.
It offers a rare opportunity to relax and stay in a unique architecturally repurposed accommodation. It features modern living convenience and style.
The 19th century building is spacious, inviting and bristling with comfort and convenience. It offers a unique atmosphere for people seeking a new experience.
A beer wall exists in the kitchen, specifically for making craft beer and a wood school exists on site. Details of classes can be found on the web if you search for Derwent valley woodworking.
New Norfolk is regarded as the country capital and only 20 minutes from MONA, Hobart's world class Museum of Old and New Art, 30 minutes to, Salamanca Markets, and the Hobart water front.
Travelling west there are bucolic rural settings, small townships, Mt Field National Park, Forestry, fishing, hunting, bushwalking and adventure.
The township of New Norfolk represents one of the earliest towns in Tasmania, circa 1807. The 19th century early settlers relied on stunning river frontage, timber cutting and forestry, later cropping, fruit and hop farming and mental health.
The 20th century was marked by industrial growth and the emergence of mining, dam building, paper making, tourism and continuing service to the mentally ill at Willow Court.
This accommodation features heritage bricks, substantial timbers flooring and walls, heavy exposed beams, high ceilings, and well ventilated rooms.
The rooms are heated by a fan forced wood burning heater in Kitchen / Dining room and an imposing free standing wood burning fire in the lounge / library.
Today, the Oast House operates as a holiday home and Fine Wood working school.
The woodworking school commenced in 2015.
We offer short courses and accommodation throughout the year.
Details of the classes and accommodation can be viewed on the web address listed above.
