Highlights

Overview

Experience the remote beauty and rugged charm of Flinders Island on this immersive adventure. Begin your journey by exploring some of the island’s most scenic and secluded corners, following a variety of coastal and mountain trails. Wander through the striking landscapes of Strzelecki National Park, where towering granite peaks meet dense forests and dramatic coastlines. Ascend to the summit of Mt Killiecrankie, where you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views of Killiecrankie Beach and the striking rocky headlands of The Docks.

Your adventure continues with a visit to Quoin Farm, renowned for its majestic Angus cattle and pristine surroundings. Enjoy a tranquil evening here, sipping an aperitif at The Bar as the sun sets in vivid colours over the coastline below, creating the perfect backdrop for a moment of serenity.

Unwind each night in a luxurious retreat set amidst Tasmania’s untamed wilderness. Each room is thoughtfully designed, featuring bespoke furniture and local artwork that evoke a deep connection to the island’s raw beauty. During your stay, you’ll have access to all the common areas, including a cosy reading room, the elegant parish sitting room, and expansive outdoor spaces, allowing you to relax and take in the natural surroundings at your leisure.

Each evening, savour exquisite dinners prepared by your host, Wendy, who specialises in using the freshest local produce. Her “garden-to-kitchen-to-plate” approach ensures that each dish is a true reflection of Flinders Island’s rich agricultural heritage, with seasonal ingredients harvested directly from her garden.

Wendy also invites you to join her for intimate cooking demonstrations, where she shares her expertise in transforming seasonal produce into delicious meals. This hands-on experience offers a deeper connection to the food you enjoy, all while learning new culinary techniques and traditions from a passionate local.

Throughout your stay, Wendy will share stories about the colourful history of Flinders Island, drawing on her own experiences of growing up on the island. Her unique insights provide a rich cultural context, enhancing your understanding of this fascinating and remote location.
