Surrounded by world-class hiking trails, mountain biking tracks, birdwatching, fishing spots, golf courses, and even the chance to spot platypus in the wild—or find a sapphire in the nearby Weld River—there’s magic here for every kind of explorer.

After a day of adventure, come home to the crackle of a wood fire, enjoy some board games, and sink into your freshly made, super-cozy bed under the stars.

Nature. Nostalgia. A touch of adventure. All waiting for you in the heart of Tasmania’s wild northeast.
