Memories made. Stories told.

The first Dales of Derby story we should share is our own! Who are we and why did we create this space for families and friends to gather and create magical moments to share for years to come? And why Derby?

A group of friends and I got together and spent a long weekend here and without exception, everyone was so impressed by the Dales.

Looking for a place to celebrate my husband's birthday, the Dales offered the ideal setting for a large group of family and friends in their beautiful home away from home style accommodation.

Our group of 26 (including 16 kids) filled the Dales to capacity on a recent weekend getaway - and we loved every second of it! From hilarious chats around the roaring fire to a delicious shared lamb roast dinner, it's fair to say that memories were made that will be hard to forget.

"A luxurious space nestled in one of Tasmania's finest spots."

An architect, 4 builders, all riders, or perhaps just a mad bunch of foodies!

"We had a magical week and dream of returning soon."

"The Dales was a major contributing factor to our success"

I'll never forget our special time together!

The St Brendan-Shaw College's outdoor education class recently spent time at the Dales as a base for adventuring in Derby. Here's Zach's review:

The inaugural 2020 trail running academy was a great success!

A glowing review, (worth a story) by our recent guests all the way from Queensland!

This group of families from Hobart are regulars at Derby. Other than a broken collar bone and some bumps and bruises it was all thumbs up by adults and kids alike.

What a privilege to host the 2021 Tasmania's inaugural Trail Running Academy by Find Your Feet!

"A lovely space for us to reconnect with our own health, well-being and that of our colleagues!"

The wattles were flowering and the coffee was plentiful!
