Quamby Estate officially re-opened |
|
Tasmanian Premier David Bartlett officially re-opened Quamby Estate on Sunday 4th October and congratulated Anthology on our “outstanding development”. It was certainly fitting that the current Tasmanian premier should officially re-open Quamby, as it was once the northern home of former Tasmanian Premier, Sir Richard Dry and became known as the ‘Government House of the North’. Dry was Premier from 1866 to 1869 and was the first Tasmanian-born premier and the first Tasmanian to be knighted. Sir Richard’s former home has been thoughtfully restored in keeping with heritage principles and converted for sustainable, contemporary use as a luxury lodge. “It is exciting to see visionary tourism operators like Grant Hunt investing in properties like Quamby Estate to ensure we continue to deliver high-quality and world-class experiences to the visitors the Government works so hard to entice here,” Mr Bartlett said. Recently completed works at the property include the restoration and refurbishment of ten luxuriously appointed guest rooms in Quamby Homestead, the conversion of the heritage-listed Georgian stables into a purpose-designed centre for guests on multi-day walking tours and the upgrade of Quamby Golf Club, restaurant and functions area. To celebrate we are offering a complimentary round of golf to all bookings of two nights or more staying with us in January 2010. < Back |
