At Spring Bay Mill, we don’t do ordinary gatherings. We bought the world’s largest wood chip mill, shut it down, and transformed it into something far more interesting on Tasmania’s east coast. Here, we create experiences that challenge the ordinary, unsustainable, and uninspiring ways of coming together. Whether it’s a wedding, business retreat, birthday, or social gathering, we have everything you need to make it unforgettable. We have distinct indoor and outdoor spaces. Our accommodations are award-winning. We grow our own food, and use the leftovers to grow more food.We do tree planting, oyster shucking, gin masterclasses, smoking ceremonies, yoga and bushfood walks. We also bring in local creatives to inspire your team, not drain it. We rethink how people come together. Our spaces are designed for big ideas, fresh experiences, creativity, and rediscovery. Everything we design is driven by our commitment to relentless improvement—from how we care for the land to how we redefine gathering. ‘Good enough’ has never been good enough for us, which is why we’re the more interesting choice. We honour the land of the paredarerme people and the stories of those who came before us, all while constantly pushing for better—for the planet, for the people who have gathered here, and for those who will. Inspiration surrounds you here. Let’s make your next event extraordinary. Explore more at springbaymill.com.
