Welcome

Gracious, characterful, and deeply comfortable.

Set above the Huon River in the boating village of Franklin, The Bowmont is a restored 1906 bank building reimagined as a two-bedroom heritage stay and creative retreat. Original details, contemporary art, vintage finds and quietly luxurious touches sit comfortably together, while views across the water, a deep bath, hidden reading room and layered interiors make it feel more like staying in the home of an interesting friend than a hotel. Atmospheric, slightly eccentric, and full of stories.
