"‘The Woodbridge’ is one of Tasmania’s grandest historic buildings, originally a private residence, which was convict built in 1825 for £1,000 for Captain Roadknight, Tasmania's first constable and magistrate.

The landmark building underwent an award-winning, extensive yet sympathetic, renovation and ‘The Woodbridge’ has been operating as one of Tasmania’s finest 5-star boutique hotels since 2006." Dominic Romeo told WILLIAMS MEDIA,

Combining lifestyle and business opportunity, ‘The Woodbridge’ is well positioned in the Derwent Valley to enjoy the unprecedented growth in tourism investment in Tasmania, Australia’s strongest growing tourist destination. With its pristine beauty, untouched forests, quality produce and pure waterways – this region has become a destination of choice.

The region offers an abundance of sights within a picturesque 30-minute drive including The Agrarian Kitchen, Salmon Ponds heritage hatchery and gardens, eateries, wineries, distilleries, oast houses and hop kilns, Maydena Bike Park, historic townships and hamlets, colonial architecture, waterfalls, South West Wilderness and the rain-forests of Mt Field National Park. Hobart, the Hobart Airport and the world famous MONA Gallery are close by.
