BOUTIQUE BUDGET - HOBART & SURROUNDS |

A SOUTHERN MIDLANDS RETREAT
|
Tasmania’s heart is its midlands, dominated by grassy plains that were cultivated by Aboriginal people for thousands of years. Today it is productive grazing and cropping country. In a hidden valley just 50 kilometres north of Hobart you can explore its rich history, scenic views and solitude at Hunting Ground, a 10-acre grassland and campground atop a river escarpment. Owners Dale Campisi and Brady Michaels – better known as The Gents – have created walking paths to explore the undulating landscape, taking in soaring cliffs, grasslands, giant eucalypts and an ephemeral wetland. Nearby attractions include Chauncy Vale, a bush reserve with caves, rivulets and hiking tracks; whisky and gin distilleries at Shene and Kempton; and the historic towns of Bothwell and Oatlands.

MONTACUTE BOUTIQUE BUNKHOUSE
|
There's good reason why Montacute Boutique Bunkhouse has won so many awards since opening its doors in 2014. As the first 'boutique hostel' in Tasmania, owners Antony and Rose have thought through every fine detail to be sure it’s more than just a place to rest your head. Ant and Rose, together with Eve (11), miniature bulldogs Lily and Tuxi, and ‘Mrs’ the tortoiseshell cat form the welcome team at this stylishly-restored 1895 Battery Point mansion. It is unlikely that Captain William Langdon, the great-great-great-great-great grandfather of Ant, who left Montacute in Somerset back in 1821 bound for Tasmania, could have imagined such an elegant bunkhouse would bear the name of his much-loved home village.
