Australia's newest and Tasmania's only Small Luxury Hotel on the banks of the beautiful Derwent River, Woodbridge on the Derwent offers enchanting and elegant bed and breakfast luxury accommodation. The building is newly restored to the original floor-plan and contains nine unique luxurious suites, each named after a person of significance in the building’s history, or an architectural feature.
The Three Bridges - (Sun room, sitting room, bedroom + spa ensuite, queen bed, private exit open fireplace) overlooks the site of the three bridges built one beside the other. The remains of these three bridges can be seen from the river foreshore at the end of Bridge Street. The first in sandstone and wood was built by convicts in 1834 and it is from this 'wood bridge' that the 1825-built residence obtained its name.
The Alloway Banks - (Sitting room, bed room, spa ensuite, king bed, private exit, open fireplace),commemorates the collection of beautiful outbuildings, cottages, barns etcetera, known collectively as Alloway Banks, which were part of the original property. Alloway Banks stood near the roundabout at the junction of Montagu and Blair Streets and, sadly, was demolished when the new bridge was constructed.
The Cottage - (Sitting room, bed room + ensuite with bath, king bed, private exit, open fireplace), was the coachman's cottage.
The Sarah Schaw - (Tower room + ensuite with bath, queen bed, open fireplace), formerly the nursery, acknowledges the outstanding (and numerous!) contributions of this woman to the story of Woodbridge!
The Academy - (Split level room + ensuite with bath, queen bed, open fireplace) celebrates Woodbridge's time as an educational establishment.
The Arches - (Room + ensuite with shower, king bed, private exit, arched alcoves), is named after its unusual and distinctive architectural feature. Lindley - (Room + ensuite with bath, queen bed private exit, open fireplace), Sharland - (Room + ensuite with bath, queen bed, open fireplace) were named for the respective owners of Woodbridge.
The Captain Roadknight - (Room + ensuite with shower (disabled access), queen bed, open fireplace).
