Luxury Holidays in Tasmania

National Parks and beautiful scenery

Surrounded by the pristine waters of the Southern Ocean, Tasmania’s compact environs enable visitors to experience a huge variety of unspoiled environments and World Heritage sites – alpine meadows, dense rainforests, ancient lakes and mountain peaks all abundant with indigenous wildlife.

Farms producing delicious organic food and wine have earned Tasmania a glowing reputation in gastronomic circles. The wealth of bush trekking aside, the landscape offers a host of other activities, from fly-fishing and horse riding, to sailing and sea kayaking.

To experience relaxed Tasmanian city life, the Victorian town of Launceston and the larger capital Hobart both sport elegant harbour-fronts with thriving restaurants and cafés – the perfect setting for lazy evenings watching the sunset.
