Westbury is small, but the surrounding district punches above its weight. Within a few minutes of the studio you'll find a distillery, a wine room, an espresso bar, the local RSL, the village pub, a Kebab shop, and a small selection of quality cafés.
Tasmanian whisky and gin. Small-batch, paddock to bottle. Lovely lunches, more-ish cocktails.
Occasional wine room and regular takeaway espresso bar. An unlikely combination that works. Baked sweet treats and bread available mornings Thur-Mon.
The dependable go-to. A scrumptious kebab or snack pack after a long day out.
The village pub. Counter meals, a fire in winter, locals at the bar.
Overlooking The Town Green with Guinness and other local beers on tap at honest prices. Thursday dinners each week. Visitors welcome.
A handful of cosy spots for breakfast, brunch, or a caffeine boost before you head out.
The Burger Junkie and the Seafood Sailor visit Westbury every Wednesday evening, and Maesi Thai Kitchen every Friday evening. They park kerbside on Lonsdale Promenade, beside the Village Green. Check their social media for menus and ordering.
A café on a raspberry farm at Christmas Hills. Save room for something with raspberries.
A historic Deloraine pub with its own brewhouse.
Local wine from the Meander Valley, at Red Hills.
Dining at the Empire Hotel in Deloraine.
Pub meals and Little Green Men craft beer in Deloraine.
The mountains are close, the caves are closer, and the highland lakes are just up the hill.
All reachable within an easy day drive from the Guest Studio.
The icon. Dove Lake, the Overland Track, wombats at dusk. Worth the drive.
Marakoopa and King Solomons. Limestone caves with glow-worms and underground streams.
Tasmania's second highest mountain and an exciting switchback drive. Visit in summer for the views and walking trails, visit in the winter for the snow and the ski fields.
Devonport, Penguin and the rugged northwest. Scenic coastline, dairy country and fish-and-chip towns.
Walks for every level. Short loops, full-day treks, dolerite ridgelines and waterfalls.
Tasmania's highland water. Fishing, fly-casting, and the kind of silence you don't find elsewhere. Visiting the Great Lake Hotel for lunch is non-negotiable.
A river gorge minutes from the middle of Launceston. Walking tracks, the chairlift and the pool at First Basin.
A World Heritage-listed convict-era estate, home to the National Rose Garden.
Tasmanian devils, wombats and other native wildlife up close.
Tasmanian farm cheese, with tastings at the dairy door.
Cruises from Launceston out on the Tamar River and into Cataract Gorge.
A much-loved, rambling shop of toys, gifts and curiosities.
Handmade chocolate, with a shop and café to taste it in.
Three minutes to the village. Twenty-five to Launceston.
The rest of northern Tasmania, just a drive away.
