Best Luxury Hotels in Tasmania
This island, found to the south of mainland Australia in the Bass Strait, has a climate, not unlike the UK. As such, the Antipodean summer (British winter) is the best time to visit. There are many beauty spots to explore, such as the Little Blue Lake, Bay of Fires, Bruny Island, Satellite Island and Mount Field National Park. And there are lots of local foods to enjoy, like Flinders Island lamb, meat pies, Leatherwood honey and freshly shucked oysters. It’s advisable to spend the best part of a week here, to really experience Tasmania.
Tasmania, New Norfolk
The Woodbridge Tasmania
(5 stars)Deep in the Derwent Valley of New Norfolk, lies this Georgian mansion turned boutique hotel. Its public rooms have a traditional country house feel, with the eight bedrooms decorated to fit a contemporary vibe. Guests can also use the library, sauna, a hot tub and access the river from the hotel’s own pontoon. Pretty gardens wind down to the water, breakfast is taken buffet style and a set dinner is served on request. Like the Islington, Woodbridge On The Derwent is exclusively for an adult clientele and is a great choice for those seeking an intimate, high-end home from home experience.
