Situated 45 minutes from Launceston, in the lush green valleys surrounding Deloraine in Tasmania's North West, Peppers Calstock is an elegant example of boutique luxury accommodation.

This 19th century Georgian mansion features early Victorian furnishings, complimenting the grand style of this historic retreat. Formal gardens surround the house creating a tranquil atmosphere while the wide veranda offers spectacular views of Deloraine.

Calstock is very much a food and wine experience, with seasonal menus based on organic local produce in the French country style. The dining room in this grand Georgian mansion is a light-filled space in which vibrant French posters, upholstered chairs and a high ceiling create an atmosphere that is elegant yet relaxed.

Across the hall, dinner might begin with an aperitif in the guest lounge and usually ends here with coffee and a sampling from one of Australia's finest collections of whisky. Exquisite bedrooms, Peppers Calstock

The other half of this enchanting equation is the guest chambres – very spacious ensuite rooms, sumptuously decorated in a French provincial style with bursts of rich colours, brocade and gilt.
