Tassie Bound Adventure Tours is an award-winning, locally owned and operated, Tasmanian kayaking company, offering transformative half and full day adventure experiences within the Derwent Valley. Husband and wife team, Fiona and Liam Weaver, have been curating with nature since 2011, providing trips which uncover secrets only locals know exist and adventures worthy of sharing! A Tassie Bound Adventure Tour can be best described as receiving a VIP backstage pass to our local region; combining breathtaking Tasmanian scenery, local guides, world-class produce with a little excitement!
Liam offers a great kayaking experience on the derwent river. The kayaks are quite stable, the whole experience was quite relaxing. We were lucky to have encountered about 10 platypus in the wild and a few were close encounters.
Liam also serves a nice cheese platter during the tour in a scenic spot by the river.
Overall a great tour. Not many have seen a platypus in the wild, so definitely worth it.

Attended recently to a garden wedding. Gardens were beautiful for a garden wedding backdrop. Plenty of parking, flat grounds and plenty of spots to choose from if your considering a wedding ceremony. They have a beautiful auditorium which would be fantastic for an indoor wedding venue or reception area. The only disappointment was the reception area where we were having our food - there were flies everywhere driving everyone crazy!! Would of been great if there were citronella candela out to try and keep flies at bay.

As I write this I am admiring the 1890s microscope I bought at the Drill Hall. It is an outstanding antique shop with a largely kitchen theme. There is no brick a brack here. This is very good quality with lovely vintage copper kitchenware and bottles. Absolutely a treat. Take your credit card!

Wife took some great afternoon photos looking back up the river as the sun was setting. Easy to walk from Caravan Park.

The signs make it easy to arrive to this park. Parking is ample. There are bbq and picnic facilities but no shop on site or walking distance to bring all your supplies as it is a little drive into New Norfolk. There is an educational bike track for children equipped with traffic lights which was very popular with the young ones. There is no shade in this area so if visiting on a hot day bring hats, sunscreen etc. There are two areas of Playgrounds, good equipment and lots of swings. The only negative is there isn't a fenced area around this playground and bike track so little ones need to be supervised well. The toilet block is a little walk away from the main play area, again, an adult would need to go with a little one for safety. A great park that we'll certainly return to as it was a hit!

The beautiful and historic Willow Court & Barracks precinct will be open for tours and a full program of activities in a not to be missed opportunity to explore and learn about Australia’s oldest continually run mental hospital and Military Barracks that pre-dates Port Arthur.Open day coincides with Frascati garden tours—once the Hospital Superintendent’s residence This is a rare opportunity not to be missed!
So glad the owner of the B&B I was staying in told me about this place. Huge property with masses of stall holders undercover. If like me your from Mainland Australia you will be blown away at the great prices. Thankfully I had my car so plenty of room for all my purchases. Great cafe on site. Really worth a visit

Huge collection of antiques for sale, which are grouped into categories in different rooms & parts of the building.
Did not find the staff to be friendly & welcoming, they seemed to be busy packaging up orders, but other than that it is worth visiting to find that hidden gem.

Come along and join us on the Derwent River. Learn to SUP or join us for a river tour. This is just a spectacular place to spend time on the water!
Ventured less than an hours drive north of Hobart to the beautiful little town of New Norfolk for our first ever Stand Up Paddle Board experience. Seriously stunning location on the Derwent River - New Norfolk is well worth spending some time while you’re at...MoreThanks for coming out and enjoying the Derwent River and getting a ‘taste’ for Stand Up Paddle Boarding. We look forward to seeing you soon

The gentleman, the staff of this Visitor Centre eagerly wanting to help me and tell a lot of local information of New Norfolk area and to the west up to Derwent Bridge. Located inside of a brick building with art deco style, beyond the mature trees, next to Council Office, this Centre is at the west perimeter town and business centre.

I had no idea this treasure of a shop existed. A high quality vintage stationery, gift, paper, stamps, cards, and cool stuff. It's suitable for all age groups and has a really interesting style. I have become a regular and can't tell enough people about it. New Norfolk is really becoming a place to go to for unique shopping.
