As the Michelin Guide extoles: Worth a Detour
Marilyn April 14th, 2007
The highlight of our recent trip to Tasmania was 2 overnights spent at Peppers Calstock just outside of Deloraine and a 45 minutes drive west of Launceston. Although marketed under the Peppers umbrella, it is boutique accommodation (only 7 rooms) at its best and run by a couple — Frenchman Daniel Tourancheau and his Australian wife Linda.
Calstock is a 19th century Georgian manor house, with large elegantly decorated bedrooms ensuite. Daniel’s French country food is refined and unlaboured, using only superb local produce. It is only available to guests and you must let them know you are staying for dinner, at least 24 hours in advance. Cost for an unforgetable 3-course meal is $75 pp. They also have an outstanding wine cellar. Cost per night for a couple including breakfast is around $335 and worth every penny. www.peppers.com.au/Calstock or ring 03 6362 2635.
