In the west
and north west

De-stress out west - it's a wildly invigorating place to spend winter.

Pack your beanie and start planning your Tasmanian winter holiday in the west and north west.

Feast lavishly on paddock-to-plate produce plucked from volcanic soils; experience the snowy elation of alpine elevation; toast marshmallows under the stars; and go to the blustery edges of the island – it might just unleash your wild side.

Eat

Food and community is at the heart of this fertile region, where winter brings bold flavours, heartwarming dishes and a chance to slow down and savour every bite.

Warm up from the inside out with hot oysters fresh from the sea, the earthy aroma of freshly unearthed truffles and the smooth, lingering taste of single malt whisky.

Let your taste buds take a journey through the region, from cosy country pubs serving up slow-cooked feasts to intimate cellar doors where the wine flows freely and the stories are just as rich.

Stay

Wherever you stay in the west and north west, nature is never far away.

Wake up to misty valley views, step out onto a deck overlooking wild oceans or fall asleep to the sounds of little penguins shuffling home for the night.

The west and north west is for slow mornings cradling a cup of coffee, for stargazing from steaming hot tubs and for finding warmth in the simple pleasures of winter.

Tall trees and oceanic vistas are just the beginning. Stay for a few days – you’ll need time to take it all in.

Play

History, adventure and wilderness collide in Tasmania’s west and north west where every turn reveals the unexpected.

Float through ancient landscapes on a misty morning, wander through heritage streetscapes and discover innovative agricultural inventions.
