A fantastic place to stay. Real Colonial Tasmania. 1835. Beautifully maintained, very comfortable, step back in time, great location, & delicious continental breakfast. Loved staying there. Highly recommend. True taste of Tasmania’s past. Would definitely stay there again.
An interesting building. It is a bed and breakfast run by an elderly couple.
The building is one of the oldest in the town.
The place was full of all sorts of collectibles mainly china but some interesting pictures.
It is just a short walk from the town centre and a pub with food just slong the road.
Nice and helpful staff. Very quaint hotel and worth staying at. Only one issue _ room was very clattered . It needed less furniture and artefacts and it would still be very much in character.
Loved the thought that it was built in 1835, Lydia was lovely and very helpful. She was happy for me the use the washing machine, something I really appreciated. We had a lovely two nights there, bed very comfortable. Can highly recommend it
Fantastic, friendly host. Great old building with heaps of character and charm. The rooms themselves have all your need for a comfortable stay.
Decent breakfast included.

Quaint old world B and B. Owner very accommodating, room a little crowded. Breakfast provisions lovely. The cleaner obviosly forgot to clean the toilet and it needed a little extra TLC.

Antique and homey
The Colonial Inn was full of antiques and old stuff. The room was quite cluttered and very hard to open the small window for fresh air, the bathroom window was painted in. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom clean and newish with the shower hot. The breakfast was cereals and quite sufficient. The hostess was lovely and chatty. It wasn’t our type of place with the antiques and cluttered furniture but otherwise very convenient to the town for dinner and a base for exploring.

If you like antiques and staying in the 1800's it is a good place to stay. Owner was very friendly, breakfast was good. Not to everyone's taste.
CLOSE TO WHERE WE WANTED TO BE (VISITING THE FESTIVAL THE NEXT DAY)
THE OWNER WAS VERY HELPFUL ANSWERING OUR INQUIRIES ABOUT LOCAL RESTAURANTS AND LOCAL INFORMATION. BREAKFAST WAS EXCELLENT AND WELL PREPARED
Not many places like this in Australia. A historic inn with only 4 rooms but with all the facilities that are needed for a comfortable stay. Very comfortable bed. Walking distance to town centre and dinner options. Good breakfast with excellent coffee.
The Inn exudes old world charm and this is backed up with old school, personal service and hospitality. Close to town centre and to the Derwent river bank views and walks.
You won’t do better in New Norfolk.
No cooling + heat wave. Welcoming and considerate hostess. Not to my style.

Old Colony Inn
Very quaint establishment. Building is 200 years old and while the rooms reflect a bygone era they are clean and comfortable with updated bathrooms. Our host was friendly and professional and we enjoyed conversation with her. There was minor traffic noise as our room was closet to the road but really not a problem. The very reasonable tariff included a light but plentiful breakfast. Happy to recommend.
This inn is more then meets the eye. The owners also have been collecting prices of history and the 5 rooms on the ground floor are filled with fascinating items that they were happy for us to look thru. The accommodation upstairs is old world charm befitting the era. The beds were very comfortable with fluffy doonas. Lots of hot water for showering. The breakfast was very generousl with homemade jams. Even though we elected to walk to the pub, Lydia offered us dinner, which on reflection was an excellent option.
Lydia and James make you feel like part of the family. Rooms are comfortable and well provided, complimentary fresh fruit, Port and Sherry in every room. Breakfast was included during our stay. Dinner was reasonably priced and very tasty. Wine and Beers also well priced with a nice selection. Would definitely stay here again.
Wnd visit in 15 months. Different suite to last time. Both werr roomy with a modern clean bathroom. Short walk to historic Bush inn for tea and just as close to Village shops for other food choices. Friendly host, quiet location. Highly recommended!

Travelling in Tassie
This is an incredibly old and interesting house stuffed full of antiques and collectables with a lot of furniture in the bedroom. Clean comfortable and in a quiet location but be aware that parking is on the street if that is an issue.
1830's vintage inn converted from a hop storage building with 3 foot thick walls! Lovely rooms / suites with antique but functional furniture (not the bed! very comfortable!). Lovely hostess with great meals - especially the lamb shanks.. Garden grown veggies and good sized meals. The antiques are very interesting and the village is quiet and surrounded by country in which hops are grown. Great base for sightseeing, fishing or wild hop hunting. Short and picturesque trip over the hills to Mona, around the highways to Bruny Island and short trip to Salmon Ponds. Everywhere is within reach if you hire a car...Eat at the inn - it is a great place to meet people of all ages, or to have a quiet evening.
