The Pub in the Paddock offers country accommodation and meals at Pyengana, North East Tasmania. Licensed since 1880, the Pub in the Paddock is one of Tasmania's oldest country pubs. Literally sitting in the middle of a paddock in the verdant Pyengana Valley, the pub offers hearty country meals or morning and afternoon teas along with comfortable pub accommodation. Call in for a cool drink and meet the locals or stay a little longer and explore the local area. There are six rooms available with shared facilities. Choose from double, twin or single rooms. There is also a room with a double bed and two bunks, accommodating up to four guests. Pub in the Paddock is also RV-friendly, allowing guests to park the night in the paddock. You can taste award-winning, traditionally-made cheddar cheeses at the nearby Pyengana Dairy Company, or visit some of the area's waterfalls including the cascading St Columba Falls-plunging nearly 90 metres from the Mount Victoria foothills to the South George River valley. Pyengana is an Aboriginal word meaning the meeting of two rivers. Pyengana is a half-hour drive from the north-east coastal town of St Helens (27 km) and a one-hour drive from Scottsdale (73 km).

The Whimsy is an early 1900s miners cottage located at Weldborough in North East Tasmania at the foot of the mystical Blue Tier. The area is known for its magical ancient fairytale rainforests, once a home for the Tasmanian Tiger (Thylacine). But you will find there is much more to discover about Weldborough which has a rich history including Mount Paris Dam now hidden away in the forest and a must to see. Weld river sapphires are also a drawcard for fossickers. Weldborough is a central location for riding the Blue Derby, Blue Tier and Bay of Fires Mountain Bike trails. MTB shuttles run from the Historic Weldborough Hotel which is only a 5 minute walk from the Whimsy. A number of trails can also be accessed directly from The Whimsy and a secure bike store is provided at the property.
