Clarendon Arms Hotel

Top choice in Tasmania


Dating from 1847, this venerable pub with its much-loved beer garden was damaged by fire in 2015 and subsequently sold to the owners of the acclaimed Red Feather Inn in Hadspen. Extensive renovations were almost complete when we visited, with a fab restaurant up-and-running and boutique pub accommodation available from 2018.
