Westerhof was too good for his French opponent Maxime Chazal winning the men's final, 6-3, 6-3.
In the semi-finals Westerhof defeated Victorian Daniel Nolan 7-5, 6-1, while Chazal was too good for Queensland's Ryan Agar winning 6-4, 6-1.
The Slovak Republic No.1 seed Zuzana Zlochova won the women's title defeating Victorian Viktorija Rajicic, 5-7, 6-2, 6-3, in their final.
Zlochova progressed to the final courtesy of her 6-4, 6-4, semi-final victory over Victorian Ellen Perez.
Rajicic overcame Alexandrina Naydenova in a marathon three-setter winning 6-4, 6-7, 6-4.
The men's doubles crown went to Agar and Sebastian Bader who defeated Daniel Ferretti and Aaron Leederchard in another marathon match winning, 7-5, 6-7, 10-5, in the third set tiebreaker.
About 140 players took part in the four-day tournament including about 40 in the junior event.
``It's been hugely successful and probably the strongest amateur tournament we've ever run in Tasmania,'' Tournament director Trent Constance said.
``Standard-wise it was a world-class field and we had eight of the top 25 women in Australia competing.''
