Stay at
Briar Lane
Simply the perfect place for a peaceful secluded, getaway in historic Evandale, Tasmania. Sit and watch the sun go down while the magpies sing, the hares lope about and the hoses and cows graze in the paddocks below you. Wander through our extensive grounds and delight in the colours and perfumes of the changing seasons.
Briar Lane is home to heritage architecture, manicured country gardens and an artists’ studio gallery. We offer all the comforts of home in our carefully appointed homestead and suites, making Briar Lane the ideal base from which to explore Northern Tasmania.
We can accommodate couples, families or large groups with the ability for groups of up to fourteen people to book the entire property - the perfect option for tour groups, large family holidays or special celebrations. All our spaces are self contained and generous complimentary continental breakfast provisions are included to begin your stay.
