Van Diemens Land Creamery Elizabeth Town

Van Diemens Land Creamery sits on Christmas Hills Road at Elizabeth Town, in Tasmania's north between Devonport and Deloraine. A renowned ice creamery, it's earned a strong reputation for its rich, quality ice cream made with Tasmanian dairy and ingredients — the kind of delicious, only-in-Tassie treat that's become a beloved stop for travellers and locals alike.

The appeal is that combination of genuinely good, locally made ice cream and a lovely rural setting, perfect for a sweet stop on a north-coast road trip, a treat for the family or simply an indulgence made with quality Tasmanian produce. There's something special about ice cream made with local dairy in the place it's produced, and it's clearly won over a devoted following.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 900 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Flavours, opening hours, any food offering and pricing vary with the season, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a scoop of quality Tasmanian ice cream, it's often just a matter of dropping in as part of a drive through the north, and seeing what flavours are on offer.
