Location & Premises Description
The property, known to Tasmanians as Mount Elephant Pancakes or the
Pancake Barn, can be seen in aerial view on Google Earth (GE).
Owing to an error in GE naming, the street address does not
correlate exactly with their map, but can be easily seen as the
largest multi-building Site between two locations:
|
 |
-
Dalmayne Road St Marys Tasmania , and
-
Douglas Apsley National Park, Tasmania
Or you can key in latitude and longitude coordinates, as with any
site on GE. The coordinates are: South (S) 41° 38’ 1” East (E)
148° 14’ 9”
Once the Dalmayne Road area is located on GE, you will notice an
image of knife-and-fork, the usual GE way of indicating a
restaurant.
For those intending to drive there, the street address is 824
Elephant Pass Road. Follow directions below (Getting There). All
else on this page presumes you have arrived on site.
On arrival the first sight is of course the restaurant, featured on
our Home Page.
If this is a busy time and the front parking lot full, additional
parking is available down the road at left. Further parking is made
available on busy summer days; the side gate is opened so caravans
etc can park on the back lawn.
After parking you can access that back lawn area on foot via the
gate and look around without disturbing the proprietors, who may be
busy with diners. Note that the restaurant is not run by the owners
(Lew and Pam Bretz) and that the proprietors know of, but are not
involved with, sale issues. So they will definitely not wish to be
interrogated about such matters by curiosity seekers.
On that understanding, interested parties are free to wander about
the property though, of course, not to enter any building unless
accompanied by the owners or their agent.
Directions vary depending on where one starts:
From St Marys township: 8.24 km south, on the Tasman Highway to
Bicheno/Hobart.
The local name for that stretch of highway is alternately Gray Road
and Elephant Pass Road. The street number, for obvious reasons, is
824
From Hobart
direction: Mt Elephant is roughly a 25 minute drive north of
Bicheno, along the coast road (Tasman Highway). About 20 minutes
along that highway a clearly marked Left turnoff leads up Elephant
Pass. A long sign there indicates the restaurant at Mt Elephant, a
further 8km away.
