We went to ZooDoo for the junior keeper for the day. However when exploring we found the Ginger Cottage, Poo Museum which was fascinating in what we learnt, Richmond Bridge and the Tas Link bus to Hobart was only $6.00 for a senior and a 9 year old child. Much cheaper than parking and they ran every hour.

Richmond is away from large volumes of traffic and best of all no parking metres! Richmond village is a step back in time. You really get the feeling that you are on the other side of the world in England. Numerous vineyards are fully active in this area and well worth a visit. A visit to the Botanical Gardens isn’t far away and definitely worth a visit anytime of the year. The Richmond Arms Hotel provides some lovely home style cooked meals. Ceggs Cafe and Wattle Banks Cafe serve a lovely variety of foods throughout the day. Craft, antique and clothing shops are always of great interest. A sweets and ice cream shop also is great for those with a sweet tooth!

Minimum 2 nights recommended here. There is so much to see and do. LOVED “The POO MUSEUM”! I learned so much. Questions were answered that I would have never thought to ask. The interactive displays were fabulous. Worth the trip for a visit here. Old Hobart Town was the oldy worldy ‘Where’s Wally’ in small detail. Another educational stop. The bakery. Oh, really, you have to. They have meat in their pies, really, you can see it. The bread, super fresh. Always busy. And the cakes... Now, Ice cream, well, just up from the IGA (which has everything) is a small cluster of stores, I saw the cows, and the words ice cream. Outstanding. They make it right there. Hmm mm. Now, food, DINNER at The RichmondArms Hotel, really. They do lunch as well, but share the love around. For travellers that wish to take back gifts, A little past the ice cream shop, tucked in the corner BEING CREATIVE sells great contemporary hand made local items and Tassie face masks with inserts in them, at great prices. And the Post Office very friendly. The Online centre (Old Courthouse) has 2nd hand books for sale, and the Japanese trending STAMP BOOK pack. So travelling around Tassie collect historic stamps like a passport. Yes, I got the Richmond bridge stamp. Ginger bread house on the green. Feed the ducks by the river (day old bakery bread). Honestly, so much to do, see. Come and see for yourself. Art, Craft, Antique, Contemporary, Old World Charm, History, Nature, Walks, Wineries, Cheese, Food... Worth the visit from Hobart. See for yourself.

Richmond is a great place to visit if you don't want to rush as there is a lot to keep you occupied Antique's / food / history / clothing and a lot more. Don't forget the old Hotel for a meal and a drink with outside dining.

We stayed in the stables out back. The shower in particular was not clean, covered in mould around the base. Furniture and carpets were not clean either, very stained. The beds in the single room did not have underlays on the beds, only sheets. There were people in the unit above us and the noise of them going up and down the stairs and walking around disturbed us. Also the back door of the pub was right outside our bedroom window and we were woken by staff bringing out empties. Would not recommend this accommodation.
