Maria Island National Park - East Coast Whale Trail

Spring Bay Mill is a sustainable events venue on the east coast of lutruwita/Tasmania. Once home to the world’s largest wood chip mill, this 43 hectare waterfront site contrasts sweeping sea views and natural bush landscapes nestled amongst Eucalypt forest. We offer everything you need for a productive event – state-of-the-art facilities, a dedicated events coordinator, award-winning accommodation, garden-to-plate goodness – and woven it through the rich stories of the site’s unique past and the highest possible standards for a sustainable future. Whether it be educating the young, a quintessential wedding or a business retreat, we’re here to make even the most fanciful visions a reality. Enjoy our stylish off-grid accommodation options with outdoor hot tubs and sea views that stretch from Windlass Bay to wukaluwikiwayna/Maria Island National Park. We can accommodate up to 118 people on site, but if you need more we can arrange other nearby accommodation. From the wood chip mill workers who earned a living here for four decades before us to now, we’re passionate about caring for the unceded land of the paredarerme people, the original gatherers and caretakers of Freestone Point. We’re proud to be an inclusive, welcoming and supportive venue. Please do contact us to organise a site visit, we’d love to show you around!
