Stays With Stories

• Sorell: Iron Creek Bay Estate proudly protects two certified Aboriginal Heritage sites located around Flinty Point. A stone quarry, where materials were procured for the purpose of making stone tools and artefacts. And a significant shell midden - stratified deposits of refuse from shellfish and other food remains, predominantly oysters and mussels. The estate was originally established by the Denholm family whose history with the area goes back four generations, having initially settled in 1834. The property was originally named ORARI after the ship that brought back soldiers from WW1 but a spelling mistake somewhere along the way, found it called ORANI. Rural activities were mixed farming – sheep, wool and meat cattle and during Ronald Bilton Denholm’s times, dairying was mainstay. A local doctor, Mr Schofield, bought the farm from the Denholms and ran cattle on it until his family sold it to a company that put in the Riesling and pinot grapes and produced a good German style Riesling. Mr Tao from Shanghai purchased the land in 2016 and built Iron Creek Bay Estate to welcome visitors to this unique part of Tasmania. Also, determined to expand the site’s agricultural production, Mr. Tao planted 10,000 cherry trees consisting of Lapin, Simone, Van and Ranier varieties as well as strawberries, plums, apples and apricots for both export and the local market as well as grapes for locally produced wine.
