Conglomerate House is a miner’s bungalow built in 1900 near the Queen River now transformed into a comfortable three-bedroom home.

Relax on arrival with complimentary port and a selection of Tasmanian cheese or maybe fire up the barbecue and toast some marshmallows on the fire pit in the garden.

If you love adventure, or just want to relax, the West Coast can take as little or as much effort as you like.

Mount Sedgewick and Mount Owen surround the town. At sunset their summits blaze with orange and pink and by day they resemble a cratered moonscape – created by a brutal mining past.

Queenstown is home of the Abt Railway, opened in 1897 to transport copper to Strahan and the only way to get the ore to market.

Visitors can now journey along the same tracks on board the West Coast Wilderness Railway.

For heating there is a panel heater and the wood heater with supplied firewood (for those colder winter nights) in the dining room, air-conditioning and an electric flame-effect heater in the lounge with heaters and electric blankets in each bedroom.

The works of local artists, relics and books of Queenstown’s mining, logging and railway history are also displayed at Conglomerate House.

If you are a nature lover, hiker, paddler, or mountain biker, you will love exploring the West Coast of Tasmania.
