Prospect Country House & Restaurant

We recently celebrated our 40 th wedding anniversary at Prospect House, Richmond , Tas. We enjoyed a couple of hours tasting magnificent Pooley wines at the winery across the road and then moved to PH for pre dinner drinks by the fire . We enjoyed a sumptuous 3 course dinner ( with more wines) and retired to our beautifully appointed bedroom suite whilst we could still walk straight ! Had a wonderful sleep and rose to enjoy a high quality brekkie looking over the lawns and gardens. As there were few other visitors , we got special treatment from the lovely Kalpanna (Kal) who was receptionist/ waitress/chef and kitchen hand for the night . It was a memorable experience , and one that we will repeat .

An absolutely fabulous place to stay! Luxurious room, comfy bed, heated bathroom floor, brilliant shower, delicious breakfast and helpful, friendly fantastic staff. Also had a beautiful dinner. Thorough enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend to others.

Being local and having dined at Prospect Country House on two previous occasions, we were well aware of the high calibre cuisine and service on offer. As in-house guests, we were treated to a whole new level of excellence. The room was very comfortable and well appointed. The bathroom was cleverly laid out. Toilet and shower were both complete with doors (we love shower doors so water doesn't flood the bathroom and drafts are kept out!), there was under floor heating and, unusually these days, plenty of towels on offer. Dinner was as outstanding as our previous meals and the Continental breakfast was also a treat with Chef Kalpana's house-made granola, yoghurt and stone fruit compote being the stand-outs for us! David looked after us beautifully on arrival and during dinner and Kylie was a lovely, bright presence at breakfast and on check out. If you want country beauty without being isolated, a wonderful blend of traditional Georgian style and contemporary comfort, fine dining without the pretention, a top notch wine list (the property is owned by Pooley Wines), warm, friendly hospitality and an opportunity to really feel spoiled, you really can't go wrong at Prospect Country House!

Fantastic quiet location with amazing in house dining

A grand place to stay. The rooms are spacious and well set out, floof heating in the bathroom , excellent. In house dinning was amazing fabulous with a great choice. The staff extremely attentive and most obliging, we could not have been Looked after any better, many thanks to them.

Great stay - lovely Georgian h House with most of the rooms in the old Stables section at the back. Rooms are beautifully fitted out with wonderful beds. Only suggestion would be a range of pillows - not all the same as they were a bit firm. Lovely toiletries. Breakfast is served in the kitchen/conservatory and is a a lovely buffet. Excellent coffee and staff are very attentive. We had dinner there as well - the food is very good and some lovely Pooley wines are available. Highly recommended.

Beautiful atmosphere has been created through fabulous work & renovation over the years. We returned to Prospect 37 years after staying here on our honeymoon. The house and grounds have been lifted to another level of comfort and relaxation. The staff are wonderful snd very attentive without being obvious. We enjoyed a mini tour of the convict cellar - such an incredible space and lends itself to very special occasions. Hope we don’t leave it another 37 years before we are back.

The main building displays all the lovely features and charm of Georgian architecture and interiors. The newer accommodation has modern conveniences with elegant decor. The food is flavourful and service had a lovely balance between professionalism and friendliness. The spacious grounds, wine tasting at Pooley winery and bikes combine to make this a special experience.
