Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen led the first expedition to reach the South Pole in 1911. On his return from Antarctica, Amundsen anchored off Hobart where he was to send a telegram with the big news. He booked a room at Hadley’s Orient Hotel, and today visitors can stay in the very same room, known as the Amunden Suite!
Once upon a time, the Quality Hotel Colonial Launceston was a Victorian school. Remnants of time gone by and original fixtures are still present for guests to soak in history. One can just imagine games of cricket being played on the then school grounds, or students gathering in the Big School Room for an assembly, which is now home to the brasserie!

The Ormiston House in Strahan was formerly a great mansion of Frederick Ormiston Henry. He arrived on the West Coast of Tasmania with just 100 pounds in his pocket. Within ten years he had become one of the wealthiest men in the state and set about to build the grandest mansion on the West Coast. It is one of the finest examples of federation architecture in Australia.

Here's a little fact...
'Heritage Hotels' are defined as running hotels in palaces, castles, forts, havelis, hunting lodges residence of any size built prior to 1950. Tasmania is filled with heritage hotels and visitors could easily spend their entire trip in former manors and historic sites.

Distinct in its design, exclusive in its features and set apart by its approach to uncompromised service, staying at Saffire is an experience that will enrich and uplift, changing the way you feel about life
Tourism in the Cradle Mountain region began as early as the 1890s, well before modern-day luxury accommodations were present. One of the first places to stay for visitors on Lake St. Clair was a house and boat shed build by Governor Hamilton.
Situated in the west coast region, Frenchmans Cap is a mountain in the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park. Named by convicts in the 1820s, Frenchmans Cap became an emblem for grand adventure, possible escape, and danger. Modern day travellers are lucky enough to have nearby towns such as Tarraleah and Derwent Bridge where they may comfortably rest their heads before venturing out on this brave climb.

Thanks to Cheryle we had a wonderful 4 1/2 days in Tasmania.
Everything went to plan beautifully, and the weather could not have been better, especially for our 3 days of golf at Barnbougle.
Our room at Lost Farm, the food at both Lost Farm and The Dunes, the upgraded hire car and the morning golf tee-off times - all details were organised to perfection.
A huge thank you from both of us.
