At Platypus House, you can experience an amazing animal from very close and in a very personal way. While there, you can see live platypuses and echidnas both playing and feeding. The place was established to increase understanding and awareness about monotremes, making it a great educational visit for school kids, families, and community groups. Photography is welcome. The onsite cafe, which overlooks the Tamar River, offers coffee and a selection of gifts.

Great tour guide, very friendly and willing to answer all questions. Made the tour a lot more personable because she wasn’t going completely off script.

Highly recommend! Just finished a session with Maddie. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly & had a great sense of humour. The platypuses & echidna’s were just gorgeous. Sessions are small & intimate. We booked on line the day before & process was very smooth. 10 out of 10.
