Almost 200 years of history, excellent photographic opportunities and the ideal Tassie cold in winter warm in summer climate.

Where It All Began

Built-in 1832 with a licence granted in 1834 The Kentish Tasmania is embarking on yet another journey in its nearly 200 year lifetime. Our own small country pub project, restoring the hotel to its former glory and reestablishing its vital role as the social hub of Oatlands Tasmania. All the while helping to add to the re-invigoration of this bypassed historic town steeped in authentically filled colonial character and architecture reflected in the many original sandstone buildings. A country pub is the heart of the community it serves.
