Prospect Country House Hotel

Prospect Country House Hotel is a heritage country house accommodation set among the vineyards and rural landscapes of Tasmania’s Coal River Valley, close to the historic town of Richmond and around 20 minutes from Hobart. The property combines period character with contemporary comfort, creating a calm base for short breaks, food-focused stays and exploration around the region.

Eleven guest rooms provide spacious accommodation with modern amenities and a relaxed country-house style. Shared spaces encourage slower stays, with lounges, gardens and areas for outdoor relaxation forming part of the experience. A fire, vintage board games and the surrounding grounds add to the informal, residential atmosphere, while Richmond is close enough for a bike ride or a visit into town.

The on-site restaurant serves dinner with a focus on local and seasonal produce. Its dining room suits guests looking for a polished but unhurried meal in a traditional setting, and the restaurant welcomes both staying and non-staying guests. The venue also offers afternoon tea in the kitchen conservatory, providing a quieter option within the house. The nearby Coal River Valley supports a food and wine itinerary, with a winery across the road offering tastings.

Prospect Country House is suited to couples, small groups and travellers seeking a peaceful country escape with dining on site. The atmosphere is refined without being formal, with heritage interiors balanced by practical comforts and contemporary facilities. The setting also makes it suitable for guests combining Richmond with Hobart and nearby regional attractions.

Accessibility has been considered across the property. Selected rooms include step-free access, wider doorways and bathrooms designed for ease of use, while the restaurant is also arranged with accessible travel in mind. Prospect Country House Hotel offers a considered blend of accommodation, seasonal dining and country-house character in the Richmond area.
