Orana House

Orana House is a heritage-listed bed and breakfast in Lindisfarne, a short distance from the shore of Lindisfarne Bay. Set on Lowelly Road, the house looks across the Derwent River towards the Tasman Bridge, with Mount Wellington and Hobart visible beyond. Its location combines a quiet residential setting with convenient access to the city and surrounding attractions.

The accommodation retains the character of an earlier era, with period furnishings and rooms arranged in a range of configurations. Options include a spa suite, a bath suite, deluxe and standard rooms, river-view rooms, an easy-access room, a family room and a budget double room. Several rooms include garden, river or mountain outlooks, while the spa suite has a separate entrance and an ensuite spa.

Shared spaces give the property a relaxed, residential atmosphere. The guest lounge has leather seating beside an open fireplace, a games corner and a library, with access to a wide verandah. The garden provides another place for quiet time, while the verandah suits a drink or a break with the homemade muffin served as part of afternoon tea.

Breakfast and afternoon tea form the food offering, making Orana House a stay focused on comfort rather than restaurant dining. The house also provides room service, cable television, heating, free parking and a non-smoking environment. A baby stroller and wheelchair access are listed among the available facilities.

Orana House suits travellers looking for a character-filled base near Hobart, couples seeking a quieter setting, families needing a dedicated family room and guests who value historic interiors and river views. Hobart CBD, Salamanca Market and the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens are around a seven-minute drive away, while Hobart Airport is approximately 15 minutes by car. Mount Wellington can be reached in about 30 minutes, and the surrounding area also provides a convenient starting point for drives towards Richmond and further north.

The property offers a calm way to experience Tasmania while remaining close to city sightseeing, airport connections and the eastern shore. Check-in is available between 2pm and 8pm, with after-hours assistance available by telephone, and check-out is by 10am.
