With its friendly people, varied landscapes and spectacular scenery, Tasmania is a wonderful holiday destination. As an island, Tasmania has a special mystique and appeal – as the scenery changes, each day’s journey opens new discoveries, with a rich colonial heritage to discover, delicious local produce to sample and superb cool-climate wines to enjoy. The climate is mild and pleasant – sunny summer afternoons, perfect for long beach walks and a refreshing dip in the ocean; bracing winter days with a frosting of snow on highland peaks; sparkling spring, when orchards blossom and coastal wildflowers bloom; and calm, clear autumns, with vineyards turning red and gold as grapes ripen in the mellow sun. Tasmania is an island made for touring – the roads are good, distances are short and at the end of the day there’s a warm welcome to look forward to from your Federal Group hosts, whether your destination is on the shores of the River Dervent at Wrest Point or overlooking Hobart's Victoria Dock at The Henry Jones Art Hotel, the gardens and parklands of our Country Club Tasmania in Launceston, Strahan Village on the edge of West Coast wilderness, Cradle Mountain Chateau on the edge of Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park or Freycinet Lodge in spectacular Freycinet National Park on Tasmania’s East Coast. |
