We look forward to welcoming you to Matildas

The house is set on five acres with well established gardens, renowned in the Huon Valley Tasmania,
featuring many very old trees and shrubs. In the spring, thousands of bulbs reach for the sun -
daffodils, iris, tulips, and blue bells, to name a few. Matilda's of Ranelagh is famous for the
puha bush, which originated in South America. Its exotic flowers can be seen in late summer, and
apparently there are only two puha bushs in Tasmania.
The garden truly reflects the seasons - there is something to
attract the eye year round. On the lower boundary of the property, Mountain River runs. This spills into
the magnificent Huon River, a kilometre or so from Matilda's of Ranelagh in the Huon Valley.
Matildas of Ranelagh is considered one of the most important houses in the Huon Valley and Tasmania and in April of 1970, the Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles and Princess Anne took tea in the parlour.
A warm and welcoming family home as well as a luxury guest house, Matildas has a reputation for being one of the friendliest places to stay in Tasmania.
When considering Tasmania accommodation then Matildas is the place to relax and unwind, and we have been the recipient of Peoples Choice and Fodors Choice awards.
Furnished with antiques and collectables, Matildas exists in an idyllic world of times past and remains faithful to the Victorian period in which the house was built.
Each room is elegantly enhanced by period features and furnishings, while concessions to modern life include central heating, reverse cycle air conditioning and underfloor heating in all bathrooms.
Matilda's of Ranelagh is in an idyllic spot in the heart of the Huon Valley, and an easy distance to all this region has to offer. We are 2kms from Huonville, 30 minutes from Hobart and at least 100 years from the rest of the world.
