Poatina Village


The Village is tucked away on the edge of the Great Lakes country and framed by the majestic heritage listed Great Western Tiers. The local people love to share this unique town with travellers and visitors to the area and will always give you a warm welcome.

Poatina is just a 40 minute leisurely drive from Launceston Airport, 90 minutes from Devonport, or an easy 2 hour drive from Hobart.

There are a number of accommodation options to suit your needs. You can stay in the 3-star Motel, or in a selfcontained 2 bedroom mountain cottage or backpackers hostel rooms for those on a budget.

Poatina has its own General Store, Post Office, Service Station, 9-hole/18 tee Golf Course, a Teahouse and The View Café and Restaurant.

It is now the home of the amazing new Althea Mountain Retreat Arts Center and Hot Glass Studio and is the ideal place for a family holiday or a short stopover.



Poatina Village Accommodation

 • Comfortable 3-star Motel Rooms, Restaurant and Cafe

The Poatina Chalet is a 3-star Golden Chain Motel that boasts spectacular views. The Mountain View Restaurant serves guests a free continental breakfast each morning and is a great place for a hearty lunch or quiet dinner. During the colder months, Poatina is also the ideal stop on the way to or from the mountain snow - many have warmed up by the open fire in the View Cafe with a bowl of tasty wedges and hot chocolate or one of the best cappuccinos in Tasmania.
