Elevate Your Escape

Not a Hotel. Not a Motel.

Something Far More Memorable.

Think elevated glamping, reimagined in an architect-designed, self-contained Mountain Pod.

Set in coastal bushland high on Mount George, The George Tasmania offers eco-luxe accommodation in George Town, Northern Tasmania, with panoramic views across the Tamar Valley, kanamaluka/Tamar Estuary and Bass Strait. A peaceful place to slow down, breathe deeply and settle into nature.

Four Mountain Pods. Four Unique Perspectives.

Each private Pod combines sleeping, living and dining in a thoughtfully designed open-plan space, complemented by a generous skylit bathroom and private deck. Choose accessible accommodation, a pet-friendly escape or a romantic retreat with sweeping river and ocean views.

Add Optional Luxe Extras

Make your stay a little more indulgent with Tasmanian grazing boards, premium local drinks, weekend breakfast delivery, seasonal blooms and wellness extras. Availability and advance notice requirements vary. See more in our FAQs below and explore the full selection when you book direct.

Thoughtfully Considered Comforts

Every Mountain Pod Retreat includes:

  • Complimentary Taste of Tassie welcome experience: water, milk, bread, butter, Tasmanian ham, cheese, crackers, granola, tea, coffee and condiments. Non-meat alternatives may be available with advance notice, subject to supplier availability.

  • Locally crafted interiors: warm Tasmanian oak and a custom Tasmanian oak bed frame made by Toledo Furniture.

  • King-bed comfort: an A.H. Beard mattress with premium organic Ecolinen bedding.

  • Skylit bathroom: a spacious bathroom with a generous walk-in shower, Aboriginal-owned Yaye body care and organic Bhumi towels. Please note, there is no bath or spa in our current Pods—outdoor spa baths are planned for future Pod Retreats.

  • Well-appointed kitchenette: full-size fridge/freezer, microwave, toastie maker, kettle and toaster.

  • Everyday ease: smart TV, climate control, complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi and secure onsite guest parking.

Pods 2, 3 and 4 also feature a long, cushioned window seat—perfect for morning coffee, wildlife watching or doing gloriously little.

Simple Meals, Leisurely Stays

Your kitchenette is designed for easy holiday meals and does not include an oven or stovetop. We recommend stocking up at Woolworths or IGA in George Town before arrival for additional food, drinks and everyday essentials.

The Little Things Matter

You’ll also find extra blankets, a hairdryer, iron, torch and first-aid kit, plus a fire extinguisher and fire blanket. Environmentally responsible cleaning products, recycled and compostable amenities, and separate waste and recycling bins help support a lighter footprint.

Your Pod Guest Guide, Emergency & Safety Guide and Locality Guide cover everything from nearby dining and attractions to practical information for a comfortable stay.

A Lighter Footprint

Our coastal bush setting shapes how we operate. Fresh water is delivered by local supplier Dave’s Fresh Water, and wastewater is managed through an Envirotas aerated treatment system. Please use water and electricity thoughtfully, and be mindful of shared Starlink Wi-Fi capacity.

Mount George is home to abundant native wildlife, including wallabies, pademelons and wedge-tailed eagles. Drive slowly, respect their habitat and help us care for this special corner of Northern Tasmania.

Tasmanian Flavours. George-ous Views.

☕ The George Tasmania Café Bar

A cheeky little love letter to Tasmania—where seriously good coffee, elevated local flavours and sweeping river-meets-ocean views turn quick stops into lingering ones.
