Swallows Nest Hop Kiln Guest House

Swallows Nest Hop Kiln Guest House is located in Plenty in the Derwent Valley.

It is a fully renovated 100 year old hop kiln nestling on the banks of the Derwent River. Now luxury furnished and decorated, Swallows Nest is a tranquil place where you can fish for trout, or just enjoy the absolute pleasure of strolling through the seven acres of rolling lawns, complimented by fruit trees, white gums, lavender, rosemary and many other native shrubs. Adorning the walls are many examples of watercolor, pastel and oil paintings with tuition available for the artistically inclined.

Swallow Nest is just 40 minutes from Hobart and 15 minutes from the centre of New Norfolk on the Rivers Run Route. There is also unlimited safe parking available onsite. Call in at the trout hatchery of Salmon Ponds before visiting Bushy Park hop fields. Here you will see many examples of historic multi-storied hop kilns, carefully positioned around a beautiful lake, home too many native water birds and wildlife.

On the Rivers Run Route, visit the spectacular Russell Falls and Mt. Field en route to Lake Pedder before driving on to the West Coast.
