G’day and welcome to Weldborough Hotel. In 2009, Mark, Flic, Marty and Sue took on the running of the hotel and campground.   Repairs, cleaning, maintenance and on-going costs were all factored in and we thought we could just about do it - The hotel needed some major projects completed and a key market that could help sustain the business - making it an attractive destination for everyone.

Well - we worked hard, renovated, repaired, upgraded and updated the menu, improved the drinks choices and started the long process of changing the hotel so that it could remain a viable business.   Many moons ago, hotels could "survive" on passing trade and large groups but today it's a different world and business has to adapt or go under.

So we started serving fresh produce sourced from the area and a small collection of Tasmanian beers and ciders.  Pretty soon - we had the biggest collection outside of Hobart!
