Mona Pavilions
Secluded in very private bushland on the same Berriedale peninsula as the world famous Museum of Old and New Art, Mona’s eight super-flash luxury pavilions are perfect for those who like their luxe accommodation to be both stimulating and relaxing. Aside from their shared—stunning—sunrise-aspect views of the River Derwent, each pavilion is uniquely adorned with spenny artworks, bespoke furniture by Tasmanian designers, and furnishings from the likes of Philippe Starck, Patricia Urquiola and Ron Arad (plus the odd bit of pre-Columbian sculpture). As well as the usual niceties—spas, great sheets, fluffy bathrobes, premo minibar featuring wines made on the estate—guests receive a complimentary Moorilla wine tasting and daily breakfast in the lavish Source Restaurant. There are several other bars and restaurants on site, too. A stay in the pavilions also gets you priority access to Mona—a bucket-list Tasmanian destination that’s only made better by gloating that you stayed there as well.
