Fern Tree Tavern

A cosy and friendly country pub/cafe just past the turn off to kunanyi/Mount Wellington.

“Yep – we do comfort food! It’s all about catching up with family and friends in a cosy environment, or perhaps just warming up and relaxing after exploring the mountain. In any case – the food is from the heart – I hope you enjoy it. Oh and the cakes may remind you of your Nan! – they’re the stuff of daydreams.” Gail Sellin – Head Chef   

Enjoy the log fires in winter (and sometimes summer!). Our menu has something for everyone, from committed carnivores, to vegans, and those after gluten free options. As lovers of good beer and wine, we have a small but interesting list of Tassie beers on tap and in the bottle, wines by the glass, and gin and single malt whiskies.

Tassie has some of the world’s best beers and wines, so that’s what we sell. We also have some cracking local gins and whiskies.

Perched on the side of kunanyi/Mt Wellington, the Tavern is the perfect spot to start your walk, finish a bike ride, cool down from a run, or just not be bothered to do any of those things. We’ve a fire to keep you warm on the outside, and plenty of Tassie beers, wines, and spirits to warm you up or cool you down on the inside

Local and mainland beers, interesting vino, simple country cooking, cakes like Nan used to bake, muffins, restorative coffee + genuinely warm hospitality.
