About Quamby Estate

Situated on 150 acres of countryside near Launceston, Quamby Homestead is an enchanting country manor and one of Tasmania's most historically significant properties. Dating back to the late 1820s, the property was the ancestral home of the state's first-born Premier, Sir Richard Dry, and known as the Government House of the North. Lovingly restored, Quamby's charming Anglo-Indian architecture, period antiques, and marble fireplaces combine with modern luxuries to offer complete tranquility. The magnificent homestead features ten restored guest rooms, entertaining and relaxing areas, sitting rooms, an English-style bar with a fireplace, and an on-site dining room where local produce is featured at dinner. Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views and explore the estate's activities, including golf, bike riding, hiking, and tennis. Experience the hidden gems of the Tamar and Meander Valleys with gourmet produce and vineyard touring, spectacular cliff and cave escapades, local fishing tours, or wildlife days out.
