What makes Quamby Pines Chalet different?
On arrival our hosts were very welcoming with interesting conversation and the heater on in the room to take the chill off. This lovely valley setting is the right atmosphere for a relaxing holiday, taking advantage of the trout fishing, plenty of room to explore and local activities.
Accommodation overview
Quamby Pines Chalet has both the Cabin and Unit 2, which can be hired separately or together. The Chalet is a comfortable two-bedroom unit that is separate from the house. In the main bedroom there is a queen bed and in the second bedroom is a set of bunks with a queen-size bed on the bottom and a single on the top. The Cabin lounge room also has a double sofa bed, and there is a fully functional kitchenette. Both Units can use the barbecue area.
Unit 2 is attached to the house with its own separate entrance. It has one bedroom with a queen bed and ensuite and it’s own porch.
There is a television in each and plenty of magazines and tourist information on the local area.
Facilities overview
A continental breakfast is supplied although for an additional cost you can have a cooked breakfast and/or cooked dinner. The barbecue area is perfect for sitting and eating your dinner overlooking the bush setting keeping an eye out for the animals in the bush such as the deer, wallabies, possums, Tasmanian Devils and - if you are lucky - a spotted quoll. Tasting the fresh home-grown produce is another thing you must not miss at Quamby Pines.
Location
Found in a beautiful valley just a five minute drive down from Quamby Brook Road just out of Deloraine, this beautiful B&B is set on 40 acres of farmland. It is hidden in the bush but still close to Deloraine. It is only 45 minutes along the A1 from Launceston and 45 minutes from Devonport.
Suitable for children? Yes

They can pat the miniature Herefords, feed the chooks and deer and even come and meet Pete the Stag. Also on the farm is the sheep, rabbits and the recent addition of emus. With all of the paddocks fenced off from the dam it is safe for the kids to run around.
