Enjoy five nights on the wonderful island, seeing all of the Tasmanian highlights.
Hobart offers a contrasting blend of heritage, scenery and culture, with world-class activities and attractions. Nestled amongst the foothills of Mount Wellington, Hobart combines heritage charm with a modern lifestyle in a setting of exceptional beauty.
Tasmania's north is a feast of historic streetscapes and heritage estates, rich farmland, premier cool-climate wines, fresh produce and a haven for designers and craft makers eager to talk about their work.
The largest city in the region - and second largest in the state - is Launceston, a vibrant hub for food and wine and culture. There's also a touch of wilderness with the Cataract Gorge just a few minutes walk from the city centre. The city is located on the banks of the Tamar River and is the gateway to the Tamar Valley, a region where English conservatism sits happily alongside the unconventional.
Out of Launceston, the surrounding green fields and country lanes are lined with 150-year-old hawthorn, poplar and elm trees, while in the rich farmland of the Tamar Valley you'll find lavender plantations, vineyards, strawberry farms and orchards.
This idyllic setting will satisfy other interests too, from those of history enthusiasts to nature lovers.Enjoy five nights on the wonderful island, seeing all of the Tasmanian highlights.
