This room is not suitable for self-catering.

The Studio is a large and sunny room in a wing of the house which was built as a saddlery shop in the 1860s. A modern fitout compliments the original polished Tasmanian Oak floor and an ultra-modern bathroom ensures the highest level of comfort.

Oatlands has the largest collection of Georgian sandstone buildings in any village in the southern hemisphere and is streets buzz with many beautiful eateries, craft shops, art galleries and antique shops. The icon of the village is the recently restored Callington Windmill – the only wind driven Lincolnshire-style flour mill outside of England (please note that the mill is currently closed to the public - being redeveloped as part of a major whisky distillery). The town is central to everything – 1 hour to Hobart, 1.5 hours to Launceston, 45 mins to MONA, 1 hour to the east coast, 45 minutes to the highland fishing lakes and on the edge of the famed Coal River Valley food and wine region, Oatlands provides the perfect base for your Tasmanian escape. Please note that there are a limited number of evening eateries in Oatlands - we recommend you phone ahead to your preferred option to check opening hours. The local supermarket is open to 7pm daily and offer a range of pre-prepared meals also.
