About The Woodbridge Waterfront Rooms
Built in 1825 and rescued from demolition in 2004, this eight-room Georgian mansion sits 25 minutes from Hobart along the Derwent River. Owners Laurelle and John Grimley bought the derelict property after discovering it on holiday, restoring it into what guests describe as "being given keys to a friend's country mansion." Rooms favor Georgian simplicity over clutter, with river views throughout. A guest kitchenette allows you to eat on your own schedule, and a mobile concierge service keeps staff accessible without being intrusive. It's intimate, unassuming, and decidedly not pretentious.
