Orford

A compact seaside village on Tasmania's east coast, Orford sits at the mouth of the Prosser River on the southern edge of Prosser Bay, with the Mercury Passage stretching beyond. A short drive from Hobart, it draws visitors with direct water access and mountain terrain nearby, and the wider region holds several UNESCO World Heritage sites. The village has cafes, a hotel, and accommodation, with a population that grows considerably during holiday periods.
