Open menuWhy it's worth checking out
Listed in Richmond, Tasmania, The Waggon is presented on its website as boutique accommodation with a dining offering associated with Hobart and North Hobart. Its accommodation is centred on seven individually designed rooms, each with a plush king-sized bed. The positioning is closer to a private, comfortable stay than a standard hotel room, with an emphasis on considered design, comfort and style. The website does not provide further detail about room features, facilities or the surrounding property, so guests should check those specifics when booking.
Food is a significant part of the Waggon offering. Breakfast includes familiar choices alongside more distinctive plates, such as Vanilla Buttermilk Pancakes with rhubarb and rose compote, Brekkie Gnocchi with salsa verde and poached egg, Eggs Benedict Croissant, and The Waggon Brekkie. There is also a Breakfast Burger, locally roasted coffee and freshly squeezed juice. Gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options are available, with the venue asking guests to share dietary requirements. The lunch menu continues with dishes including Porchetta Roll, Duck Lasagna, Eggplant Fritters, Smoked Rainbow Trout and Waggon Wagyu Wellington, as well as burgers, salads and steak.
The website describes the restaurant and bistro as focused on Tasmanian ingredients, with a paddock-to-plate approach. Guest comments on the site consistently mention fresh, locally sourced produce, a warm atmosphere and creative cooking, although these testimonials are presented as dining feedback rather than detailed independent reviews. The menu also carries an allergy warning, noting that common allergens are used on the premises. With its small room count, king beds, breakfast and broader dining menu, The Waggon may suit couples or solo travellers looking for a more intimate stay, as well as locals and visitors joining for a meal. The supplied Google rating is 4.8 from 28 reviews.
