Discover Mole Creek

A trip to Mole Creek can focus on several different things: wildlife encounters and a monthly market in town, as well as caves and walking trails nearby. How you plan your time depends on which of these destinations you want to include. If you’re looking for a hotel in Mole Creek, it’s worth distinguishing fixed dates from daily opening hours and changing conditions for caves and trails first.

Wildlife in Mole Creek

Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary in Mole Creek is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm. On guided tours, visitors can interact with a Tasmanian devil and a wombat, and watch a social feeding of Tasmanian devils. Opening hours and programs may change; check both before you arrive.

Caves and walking trails nearby

Mole Creek Karst National Park is located near Mole Creek. From the B12 via Mole Creek, signposted turn-offs lead to Marakoopa Cave in Mayberry and King Solomons Cave in Liena. The place names help you distinguish between the two cave destinations when planning. Cave access and tour arrangements may change; check the latest conditions before your visit.

Several walking trails are also nearby, including the scenic Westmorland Falls trail and Alum Cliffs. If you plan to do one of the walks, check the latest park information about trail conditions before setting out, as these can change.

Culture surrounding the Tasmanian tiger

The Tassie Tiger Bar features artworks, news articles, artefacts and stories about the Tasmanian tiger. It is also home to what is described as the world’s largest Tasmanian tiger. The focus is therefore on different ways the animal is depicted and portrayed in stories. By contrast, tours at Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary focus on encounters with a Tasmanian devil and a wombat, as well as observing a social feeding. The difference is concrete when making your choice: themed content at the bar or animal-related activities at the sanctuary.

A market with a regular monthly date

The Mole Creek Memorial Hall Markets take place on the second Saturday of every month from 9 am to 1 pm at 2 Caveside Rd in Mole Creek. The market follows a different schedule from the daily opening hours of Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary. If you want to include the market in your trip, check the local events page before you arrive, as market dates may change. This lets you plan your travel dates around the second Saturday.

Match your hotel search to your travel plans

First decide which stops fit your dates. You can then search for hotels in Mole Creek for your specific travel period. This keeps your choice of dates tied to the activities you actually want, rather than assuming one itinerary will suit every destination.
