Meander Valley’s skyline is dominated by the mountains of the Great Western Tiers, which form a dramatic backdrop to a rural landscape divided by traditional English hedges and dotted with early European settlements. The seamless combination of alpine mountains, productive farmland and historic villages gives Meander Valley its’ unique look and feel; something that visitors recognise as distinctly Tasmanian.

Positioned at the centre of Northern Tasmania, Meander Valley is only 30 minutes drive to the northern freight and passenger port in Devonport. The towns of Prospect Vale, Hadspen, Westbury, Deloraine, Elizabeth Town and Mole Creek offer easy access to world famous east coast beaches, the iconic Cradle Mountain, rugged west coast wilderness and the cosmopolitan city of Launceston.
