Oatlands Properties

Oatlands is a peaceful, pretty colonial township just off the Midlands Highway (A1), about 84km north of Hobart. The town has more Georgian and early colonial buildings than any other town in Australia.

We have it all - Tassie's top accommodation, the best doctors in the state, Dr Robert Simpson and Dr Meryl Gray, Ph: 03 62 545030 and a hospital open all hours. We have a chemist, library, post office, two banks, two butchers, two supermarkets, two take-aways, two service stations, a draper and a newsagent. Blossoms of Oatlands (ph. 6254 1516)and the Stables do light meals. There are two pubs, and one has a restaurant "Mishla on High" which I recommend, and we have 2 coffee shops incorporating an Art Gallery and an Antique Shop. There are 3 antique shops and the Central Tasmanian Tourism Centre also has a wonderful selection of Tasmanian crafts for sale. We have an R.S.L Club, Rotary, bowls, golf, football and a swimming pool. There are three churches; Catholic, Church of England and Uniting Church. All these welcome visitors.

The district is a rural area and Oatlands is a small village with the greatest attraction being the number of colonial buildings in the vicinity. Oatlands boasts the greatest number of Georgian buildings in the nation! The highlight is the Callington Mill Complex. Peter Fielding conducts Ghost Tours (ph 6254 1135) by appointment and even if he has only one taker the tour goes on. He leaves from the Mill, but check the times. Great value! We a situated in the heart of Tasmania, so from here you are able to see most of the state. One hour gets you to Launceston, Hobart and the East Coast and Central Highlands. Of course, closer to home there is a nice drive to Interlaken, then either down to Bothwell or Tunbridge, Ross and back to your cottage. Interlaken, is one of the best fishing areas in the state. Licences and fishing tackle can be purchased ay Mancey's Shop is Oatlands.
