onney's Inn (circa 1830), the first brick building and legal hotel in Deloraine, was a coaching inn serving the early travellers in the north of Tasmania. It was built by John Bonney - the son of a convict. Since then it has had many uses including being a Temperance Hotel, private residence, and flats.

It was found semi-derelict by the Tilbury family in 1980 and some restoration work was done in order to establish a restaurant and craft rooms with limited accommodation, and it was later refurbished to a full bed and breakfast inn by Mr and Mrs Hassell. In 1997 was awarded a Tidy Town's Tourist Project Award for the refurbishment of the building, and in early 2003 it was purchased by Vic and Judy DelVecchio who upgraded the bedrooms, dining room and the cottage gardens.

Bonney's Inn is currently owned by Trevor and Wendy, whose emphasis is to make guests feel at home, happy and relaxed, to provide a comfortable nights sleep and a friendly stay whilst touring or on business. We have a guest lounge where you can sit in front of the fireside on cooler nights, have a comlimentary Port or Muscat, chat with your hosts and other guests and thoroughly enjoy yourself in the relaxed, homely atmosphere of the old inn. The breakfasts at Bonneys are fast getting the reputation of being the best in the Tasmanian Bed and Breakfast scene. You will not need lunch after partaking of the morning delights.

Deloraine is "the base" for exploring the north of Tasmania, with many attractions to visit - trout fishing, bushwalking, caves, waterfalls, wildlife parks, Cradle Mountain, Western Tiers, the Great Lake and many historic and interesting buildings set in rolling green countryside. There is also a great variety of craftspeople in the local district who would be more than happy to demonstrate their crafts and sell their products. The route through Chudleigh, Mole Creek and the Bass Highway to Devonport will have you visit the Honey Farm, the Raspberry Farm, Ashgrove Cheese Factory and Anvers Chocolates, with Sheffield, the town of murals, on route to these delightful places.

Bonney's Inn overlooks the Meander River and is located close to the shopping centre, post office, banks, ATM's, restaurants, hotels, cafés, Information Centre, Museum, walking tracks and gardens.
