Berriedale /ˈbɛrideɪl/ BERR-ee-dayl is a residential suburb located in the northern part of Hobart, the capital city of Tasmania, Australia. Situated within the City of Glenorchy, it lies between the suburbs of Chigwell and Rosetta, approximately 15 kilometers from Hobart’s city centre. The suburb is most well-known for being home to the internationally acclaimed Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), which, along with the adjacent Moorilla Estate winery, has become a major cultural and tourist destination for Tasmania.^[2]

Historically, Berriedale served as a hub for travellers in the 19th century. Established in 1834, the Berriedale Inn acted as a key social venue and an important landmark for the local community. The inn is believed to have given the suburb its name.^[3]

Berriedale's residential architecture primarily consists of mid-20th-century homes, reflecting Tasmania’s post-World War II housing boom. These homes typically feature weatherboard or brick construction and single-story layouts, designed with spacious yards and gardens that characterise suburban development from that era. In recent decades, the suburb has undergone significant cultural transformation, with MONA emerging as its defining feature and enhancing Berriedale's prominence both locally and internationally.
