The Exchange Hotel

Lisa and I have, at long last, entered this establishment and we were wowed from the start.
What an amazing historical building that exudes style and class.
The wine list showcases thé best of Tasmanian wineries and local craft beers.
The chips are the best we have eaten in a long time with an amazing super tasty relish.
The hosts, Gavin & Tom are wonderful conversationalists and made us feel welcome.
We will definitely be regular patrons and look forward to spending time in front of a roaring open fire over the coming winter.
Thank you 😁

Fantastic hotel, we spent a night here just after arriving on the ferry. We were told how the place was just renovated and I have to say the bed and linen was far far better than places I’ve stayed that cost three times as much. As a gay couple we didn’t feel the slightest bit unwelcome or uncomfortable.

Wow! The Exchange Hotel has become an accommodation destination. The owners have lovingly restored The Exchange Hotel and it is incredible! The room we stayed in was beautifully furnished, the bed was so comfortable and the breakfast provisions were everything we could have wanted and more! We stayed a Friday night so enjoyed a few local beers and gins in the bar and an amazing cheese platter. If only all heritage buildings were loved as much as this one.

Beautiful boutique accommodation, modern comforts combined with art deco charm. Sumptuous linens, state of the art heating with a stylish bathroom. The hosts Gavin and Tom were amazing, from discussing the curated wine list, to serving undoubtedly the best coffee we have had in Tasmania, we cannot imagine why you would want to stay anywhere else.

A warm and very welcoming place to stay, and an ideal base to explore this lovely part of Tasmania. Gavin and his nephew Tom are wonderful hosts.

A lot of hard work has clearly gone into renovating this heritage hotel. It is a wonderful combination of authenticity with everything you would expect of modern day accommodation - super comfortable beds, modern bathrooms, top notch linen and towels, free wifi - and everything spotlessly clean.

In addition, there is a guest lounge bar available - ideal for relaxing at the end of the day, and enjoying some of the best the local vineyards and distilleries have to offer.

We had the most amazing time staying here over the weekend. Beautiful old hotel. So much work has been done to restore it to its former glory. Clean rooms and private bathroom. The hosts Gavin and Tom really went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable. Highly recommend this place. 5 🌟 Connie, Nicola, Ryan and Hannah.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Exchange. Our suite had been restored so tastefully with everything thought of - lovely decor. The bathroom had sumptuous towels and lots of little extras which we appreciated. Breakfast was delicious and situated in a wonderful sun-soaked room. Our hosts were so friendly and helpful with a wealth of knowledge of the surrounding area. We would recommend The Exchange Hotel to anyone and hope to return one day.

The Exchange Hotel - Perfect in every way. We spent a fabulous girl's weekend at The Exchange Hotel to celebrate a milestone birthday, and we could not have been made any more welcome. Our hosts, Gavin and his nephew Tom, went out of their way to ensure we had everything we could want.We booked all available rooms, and having the whole hotel to ourselves seemed very indulgent. The rooms included beautiful luxury linens, comfy beds, and locally-made toiletries. Our evenings were spent relaxing in the private bar after touring the Tamar Valley during the day. The rear deck was lovely in the sun, and we could return to the centrally heated hotel when it got cool. Gavin and Tom organised a surprise private dinner party that could not have been bettered in any fancy Sydney or Melbourne location. We also dined locally at the most impressive Indian restaurant, "Tasty Bite", a short walk across the road. Wow, on so many levels. The hotel is beautifully restored and is in a fantastic central location to take in all of the sights of the Tamar. We can't wait to return.

The Exchange Hotel ticks a lot of boxes. If you want 5* grey and glass, this won't be for you. But if you want to experience a heritage building, rich in history and charm this is perfect. Location is brilliant, West Tamar has much to offer. As the outside temperature dropped, to arrive back at the hotel loaded with the best Indian takeaway from the 'Tasty Bite' restaurant across the road and then sit back with a glass of wine was perfect after a day of sightseeing. Room was spotlessly clean, hotel warm and host Gavin, delightful.
Great value for money and ideal for small groups traveling together.

Our experience at The Exchange was flawless. The service was exceptional, friendly, fun and nothing was too much trouble. The building is being lovingly restored and learning about the history was fascinating. The bar was brilliant..fantastic array of local wines. Lovely, high quality linens and thoughtful decoration.
It really is the perfect stop if visiting the area or on your way through. Go visit and hear some incredible stories of local history!!

Exceptional in every way!! The room had the most comfortable bed with superb linen and was very tastefully decorated. The towels are heaven, thick and wonderful to dry upon. The Hosts fabulous, welcoming, warm & set the atmosphere for a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The location laidback, friendly and a quaint little town, but close to so many things to do and see & taste & experience. Five stars all the way.

WOW what a difference the new owners have made to his historic hotel. Gavin & Tom were very welcoming. Spotlessly clean with luxury linen & towels. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We can highly recommend this accommodation and we will be back soon. Sandra & Mick.

You would be mad to stay anywhere else in the district. Beautiful boutique hotel lovingly restored. Private bar for guests with curated wine list from the area and the hosts guided us to find the best food in town on a rainy Monday night in off peak season. Sensational coffee too. No really, stay here.

More a destination than accomodation .From the moment we arrived, we were swept away with our room and the ambience within the hotel. Gavin was the perfect host and assisted us with suggestions for daily activities and dining options , we would recommend The Exchange Hotel to all who seek a relaxed and engaging vacation.
Cheers, Gavin, for our great stay.

I stayed one night in Beaconsfield at the Exchange Hotel. Gavin and Tom's hospitality was so welcoming and authentic! The hotel has been lovingly restored, maintaining all of it's charm and history, yet with modern comforts. I feel like I've stepped back in time, in a very comfortable way. The bed is so luxurious! The bar is so cosy with fire burning and Beaconsfield history on the walls. Highly recommend! I will definitely be back! Thank you!

Fabulous heritage listed hotel in Beaconsfield, perfect if you're just looking for somewhere to have a drink and perhaps a platter. The extensive selection of wine, beer etc is locally sourced and the platters, again featuring Tasmanian produce, are delicious. Bar open Thurs 4pm- 8pm, Fri - Sat 4pm - 10pm..

I stayed at the Exchange Hotel for 1 night and loved it. The accommodation is comfortable, clean and something you rarely get - interesting. The whole building is fascinating particularly the guest areas. The owners live on site and went out of their way to ensure our stay was special. I couldn't believe how cheap the rooms were for all that we got - and breakfast included! Thank you to Gavin and Tom.

Gavin and Tom made us very welcome when we stayed recently for 2 nights. It was like being at home. Very well appointed rooms, cosy towels and our hosts have excellent knowledge of the area. Beaconsfield is so handy to Launceston, wineries, Tamar River and close by is the innovative micro brewery Miner's Gold. We will be recommending The Exchange Hotel to all our friends and family. We wish you well Gavin. Sue and Robert.

This historic building is now a very cozy family run B&B. It also has a public bar serving local beer and wine.

What an amazing place! Not only does it have ultra-soft comfortable beds with fantastic service from Gordan and Tom but the whole hotel has a story to tell. Look at the walls, the pictures and follow this heritage building back in time.

Highly recommended whether on your own, with the family or just for a wedding aniversay!
