Rolling off the Spirit of Tasmania or heading back towards the ferry, many caravan and campervan travellers look for a simple, stress-free place to stop near Devonport. Spreyton Cider Co, just ten minutes away, delivers exactly that — room to park, cider from the orchard, and a relaxed break before the next stretch of road.
Whether you’re rolling off the Spirit of Tasmania, heading towards Cradle Mountain, or making your way along the north-west coast, this is a genuine orchard stop designed with larger vehicles in mind. Spacious parking, room to turn, cider made from our fruit grown on our orchards, seasonal food, and a relaxed setting make it an easy win for caravan and campervan travellers.
Why Spreyton Works So Well for Caravans and Campervans
Many cellar doors and attractions aren’t built for bigger rigs. Tight car parks, awkward entrances and limited turning space can turn a quick break into a stressful manoeuvre. Spreyton is different.
We have open, spacious parking that handles caravans and campervans comfortably. Simply make your way through the carpark out the back to the large overflow area and the large grassed area, you can’t miss it. You can arrive, find a spot and leave without dealing with tight corners. That ease of access is especially useful if you’re travelling with a larger van, towing, or moving as a group in separate vehicles.
For anyone searching for caravan parking near Devonport or a campervan stop near Devonport, the layout makes a daytime visit straightforward. Pull in, stretch your legs, and take a proper break before continuing your journey.
Conveniently Located Near the Spirit of Tasmania
If you’re arriving on or departing via the Spirit of Tasmania, Spreyton sits in a perfect position. We’re only about ten minutes from the ferry terminal and Devonport, and close to Latrobe as well.
Many travellers need a simple, low-stress stop near the start or end of their Tasmania road trip, somewhere they can grab lunch, enjoy a tasting paddle (or non-alcoholic options for the driver), and give everyone time out of the vehicle. Our location makes it easy to include Spreyton right at the beginning or the end of your trip.
What You Can Enjoy During Your Stop
Once you’re parked, settle in beside the orchard. Try a cider made from fruit grown on our own orchards, order a tasting paddle, or choose from our range of craft beer, ginger beer and non-alcoholic options (including our well-known apple juice).
The cellar door has indoor and outdoor seating, a children’s playground, and plenty of space for families to relax. Seasonal Tasmanian food is available from the kitchen, so you can turn a quick stop into a proper lunch or afternoon break.
It’s the kind of place that feels like a genuine local experience rather than just another roadside stop, orchard views, fresh air, and drinks made from fruit grown a short walk from where you’re sitting.
After a long stretch in the car, it’s a good excuse to stretch your legs. Take a wander through our Cider Block, where heritage cider apple trees from England and France grow along the rows. Signs tell the story of each variety, and some of our oldest trees, planted around 1890, are still producing fruit. Then head back inside and taste what those apples become.
