Built for Sydney Griffith in 1877, a ship builder by trade. One of the
famous ships that come to mind is the brig "Waverly" which is featured
prominently on the 5 dollar note. Later this home was sold and became a
private Girls School, called West Devonport College. Then in approximately
1897 this home became a Guest House for a short period of time. In 1983
this house was restored to a Guest House again. The Lodge provides a warm
and comfortable environment and an ideal base from which to tour scenic
Northern Tasmania.
