Arcoona Manor

If you’re after accomodation near Cradle Mountain that has the nostalgia of days gone by, then this is the place to stay. This historically significant house is architecturally amazing and sits on a massive block of land surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens. There is a wooden garden gazebo at the backyard to enjoy morning/afternoon tea. There is also a large lawn area just to sit and relax or gaze the stars at night. Rabbits and chickens roam the driveway area for kids to chase. The interior of the house is extremely well maintained for such a historic house. Your room has past-century furnishings but the bathroom is modern and cleaner than any hotel room I have ever stayed in. This is credit to our host, Maria, who does such a great job managing this B&B. Her cooked breakfasts are amazing and served hot every morning. There is also a games room that has a full sized snooker table and darts board which we used every night after a long day out. Maria is one of the best hosts we have met. She provides a warm welcoming that includes a short tour of the house. Our conversations with her during our stay were very enjoyable and we felt like family. Thank you very much, Maria, for your hospitality and kindness. Deloraine is 35 minutes closer to Cradle Mountain and the Truffle Farm than Launceston so we would prefer to stay at Deloraine anytime.

The best accomodation ever. The classic house is so beautiful. The rooms are comfortable and there was a toy box for my child. There’s a gorgeous fireplace and public lounge where you can relax. Maria is lovely and so helpful. Loved it.

This is a pleasant retreat in the middle of Tasmania to the east of Launceston - a convenient place within a hour or two drive to many of the island's natural attractions. The 19th Century mansion, originally home to a doctor and then to a hospital now hosts several guests in its rooms. The home is surrounded by well kept, English-style gardens that are a pleasure to walk through in the morning or evening and the surrounding town is pleasant to walk through for dinner or a bit of shopping. Just keep in mind that it is a decent drive to any of the island's airports.

One of the most homely and comfortable places I've stayed (paid and otherwise). Thanks to Maria's exemplary hospitality which included warmly welcoming us and cooking a delicious breakfast to order. Freshly washed and line dried linen in the gardens smelt amazing.

If you want a one off exceptional B&B Arcoona Manor is the place to go. It is nothing short of exquisite. The house, the service, the attention to detail was beyond expectation. It is well placed for daytrips to the north of Tasmania. A magical experience. Thankyou Maria.

This B&B owned and operated by the dynamic Maria offers guests a highly memorable experience. Spacious, modern rooms with comfortable beds make for a most pleasant stay. The main dining room offers all day self-service beverages and snacks.|Breakfast is a delight. Cooked to order my omelet was prepared to perfection. And many other early morning options abound such as specialty coffees. Maria is laser focused on delivering the utmost satisfaction to all of her guests. I must add that the location is excellent in its immediate access to the center of Deloraine. This village offers some fun experiences, including the occasional platypus sighting in the river. Do not miss this wonderful B&B when traveling in Tasmania. Kudos to Maria.

What a beautiful manor! Maria is a great host. She definitely attended to all our needs without having to ask for anything. There were small details that were special compared to any great hotel we’ve ever stayed at. Breakfast was so good. We had access to a selection of good coffee/tea, juices, cookies, cup noodles and other snacks 24/7. Bed heaters were a great addition to the most comfortable beds. She had heaters running through the house throughout the day and that was amazing. The house is grand! So many things to explore and plenty of activities within the property. Heaps of good books to read, Massive pool room with other games, chess, pianos and other instruments, chicken shed withe wild bunnies, fountains and many more. We had access to almost everywhere in the property.

There’s something magical about this place. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything is done to the finest detail from the styling of the bedrooms and beautiful landscaped gardens, to the unexpected eclectic collection of artwork on the walls and magnificent chandeliers. Maria and Julie made us feel wonderfully welcome and the gourmet breakfast is something to experience! We hope to be back again very soon!
