About Prospect Country House
Prospect Country House is a Georgian estate on Richmond Road, built in 1830 and a short walk from Richmond village in the Coal River Valley. It runs as a boutique hotel with its own restaurant, Buscombe's, behind a gated entrance. The house keeps its wide Tasmanian timber floors, open fireplaces and decorative ceilings. A sandstone cellar built with convict labour in the 1830s still sits beneath it, and guests can use the garden terrace, lounges and surrounding grounds. For private groups of 10 or more, the restaurant prepares tailored set or alternate-drop menus, and private dining rooms seat up to 16. Work events of up to 50 people can spread across its private dining rooms and meeting areas, with garden cocktail functions and exclusive hire of the venue for larger gatherings. The kitchen cooks seasonal menus from produce grown around the valley. Function catering can include canapés, lunches and dinners, morning and afternoon teas, and beverage packages, with dietary needs planned ahead. An events team looks after room set-up, menus and audio-visual needs, and rooms can be added for anyone staying on. The property is adults-only, does not host weddings, and is set up for wheelchair access.
