Tasmania Luxury Holidays

Australia's only island state, Tasmania has a rugged, natural beauty; from alpine waterfalls, dense rainforests and sparkling glacial lakes to the white sandy beaches of the Freycinet Peninsula. Whilst Hobart, with the River Derwent at its heart and Mount Wellington rising above it, boasts both the tranquillity of a city from a bygone era with the vibrancy of a pocket-sized modern metropolis.

Head to the north west of Tasmania to explore some of the most significant World Heritage Areas on earth and the iconic sight of Cradle Mountain reflected in Dove Lake. It's a place of ancient Gondwana landscapes, dense forests, wild rivers that tumble through steep gorges and wide deep lakes.

A stay at the unique wilderness retreat of Cradle Mountain Lodge provides the perfect base from which to explore this area. With roaring log fires and wildlife all around, you're never too far from that authentic Tasmanian experience.

Moving eastwards, you will soon discover the stunning beauty of the Freycinet National Park. The park is dominated by the pink granite of the Hazards Mountains and best known for the perfect curve of Wineglass Bay. Make the most of the scenery with a stay at the newly opened Saffire. The individual suites with floor to ceiling glass and 5-star touches will allow you to appreciate the natural beauty of the region. Enjoy superb seafood of cray, scallops, oysters, salmon, and berries in Swansea, before the journey south and the first sight of Maria Island. The whole island is a national park, free of vehicles. It is a refuge for Forester kangaroos, wallabies and the round small pademelons.

With a growing range of luxury boutique accommodation, you can now enjoy Tasmania's natural sights in style and comfort.
