Overview

New Norfolk is a riverside town of 6,153 residents (2021) set along the Derwent, just 32 km northwest of Hobby via the Lyell Highway. Its historic centre boasts the colonial Bush Inn, St Matthews Anglican Church and the award‑winning Agrarian Kitchen at Willow Court, while a vibrant antiques district and a range of bed‑and‑breakfasts showcase the town’s heritage charm. Families and retirees enjoy easy access to outdoor attractions such as the Salmon Ponds trout hatchery and the Derwent Valley Railway heritage line, and local schools and a volunteer‑run tourist information centre add to the community feel.

Transport links combine the main east‑west Lyell Highway, regular Metro Tasmania bus services and a 55‑km drive to Hobart Airport, while the 2025 Bridgewater Bridge now permits marine traffic along the river. Housing is notably affordable, with higher home‑ownership rates and a lower median house price than Hobart, complemented by the $500 million “The Mills” residential development that broadens options for both families and downsizers.
