The Coal River Valley is one of Tasmania’s finest regions – click here for our Guide to the Coal River Valley – and yet for some reason it seems to fly under the radar.
So many travellers treat Richmond and the Coal River Valley as a quick day-trip option from Hobart, but it isn’t the same as staying a night or two and giving yourself time to soak up the country vibes, away from the hustle and bustle of Hobart.
It’s a beautiful valley, and you’ll enjoy learning more about Tasmania’s convict history while visiting Richmond Bridge, the old Richmond gaol and St John’s Church. And when you need to take a break you’ll find the food and wine options liberally sprinkled across the valley to be second to none!
Wine lovers will enjoy tasting their way through some of Tasmania’s best cool-climate Pinot Noir and Riesling wines, while foodies will be in gastronomic heaven as they sample the cheeses, chocolates and modern-Australian menus found in many of the valley’s best restaurants.
Whether you’re in search of luxury, a family farm stay, or quality accommodation in the heart of Richmond, this guide to the best Richmond Tasmania accommodation is sure to help you plan your Tasmanian road trip.
