Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

Savour modern Australian dishes – such as rack of lamb with butternut pumpkin purée and rosemary butter, or Atlantic salmon with citrus juices and mash – in Quamby’s small, simple dining room, a crisp mix of black chairs, white linen and vibrant artworks, where dinner is held nightly. There's an intimate atmosphere as it's not open to the public, with relaxed service and a focus on fresh local produce, including a tempting cheese selection. Breakfast is served around a communal table in the kitchen, or take it out on the homestead’s sandstone verandah in summer. Lunch is only available Friday through Sunday, from noon till 3pm, and tea is served in the elegant drawing room.

Dress code

Smart casual meets understated luxury, as befits this trad-modern Tasmanian treat (interiors have been updated with contemporary furniture and bold colour accents, so think modern rustic).

Top table

In the dining room, cosy up with a table by the fireside. For a nostalgic Gone with the Wind vibe, it’s hard to beat the wide flag-stoned verandah, where you can take in the hotel’s pretty park-like grounds.

Last orders

Breakfast is served from 7am till 8.30am; dinner from 6.30pm till 8.30pm.

Room service

Quamby doesn’t offer room service, but staff can advise you on places to eat lunch or tea while you’re touring the local area.

Hotel bar

Help yourself from the 24-hour honesty bar at the homestead, which offers a good mix of local Tasmanian and Australian wines – then sip them in the chic colonial drawing room. Or pop over to the Quamby Estate Golf Club for a drink at weekends (the Georgian-style clubhouse has a bar offering light refreshments to golfers and guests).
