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.
Tamar Mountain Pod Retreat 1 — Accessible Escape
Step-free access, spacious open-plan living and an accessible bathroom with roll-in shower, paired with sweeping Tamar River views.

A peaceful retreat with river and valley outlooks, where your four-legged companion can holiday too. Paws & Stay package fee and pet conditions apply.

Ocean Mountain Pod Retreat 4 — Private and Romantic

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.
Space to unwind: floor-to-ceiling viewing windows and a generous private deck with sun loungers.
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.

A little note from us 🌼
We know we’re not the cheapest café—and we don’t pretend to be.
The George Tasmania Café Bar is a tiny, family-owned and operated business, proudly serving simple, delicious food made with premium Tasmanian produce wherever possible.
Our compact kitchen is designed for quality rather than complexity. Each morning, we freshly prepare our gourmet toasties ready for service so we can provide fast, consistent meals. For this reason, toasties generally cannot be made to order or customised.
We personally collect our cakes, pastries, cookies and sweet treats from premium Tasmanian suppliers in Launceston and surrounding areas—either the day before or on the morning of service.
Wherever possible, we source Tasmanian bacon, eggs, breads, rolls, butter, cheeses, relishes, olive oils, meats, wines, beers, ciders and many other ingredients featured across our menu. We truly hope you can taste the difference.
Because we buy in small quantities, we often don’t qualify for wholesale pricing—or receive only a modest discount—so we pay retail prices for many items. Our prices reflect premium ingredients, weekend award wages and our commitment to supporting Tasmanian growers, bakers, producers and artisan makers.
You’ll often be welcomed by family or friends lending a hand alongside our wonderful local team. We’re also proud to employ local people across both our Café Bar and Mountaintop Pod accommodation.
Our menu may not be elaborate, but we believe in doing the simple things exceptionally well: quality food, genuine hospitality and thoughtful attention to detail—all enjoyed among peaceful mountaintop surrounds and breathtaking 270-degree views across kanamaluka/Tamar River, Bass Strait and beyond.
The George has been years in the making—a slightly crazy bucket-list dream we wanted to share with others. Every purchase genuinely matters and helps us keep that dream going.
Thank you for choosing local and supporting us

To keep our guests, pets and resident wildlife comfortable and safe:

Leads on outdoors: keep pets on a lead whenever outside your Pod.
Respect wildlife: never allow pets to approach, chase or disturb native animals.
Keep things peaceful: manage barking or disruptive behaviour promptly.
Protect furnishings: use the pet bedding provided and keep pets off beds and soft furnishings wherever possible. If your pet joins you on the bed or window seat, place a supplied pet blanket underneath them.
Clean up immediately: bag all pet waste and place it in the onsite red Council general waste bin, or take it with you when departing.
Take responsibility: guests are responsible for damage or additional cleaning caused by their pet.
If these rules are not followed, we may require a pet to leave the property. Serious or repeated breaches may result in the booking being ended without refund.

The George Tasmania
Website and Guest Terms
Last updated: 15 October 2026
Welcome to The George Tasmania. These terms cover our website, Mountain Pod accommodation, Café Bar and related purchases. Please read them before booking or buying. Private functions, venue hire and ticketed events have separate terms provided with those bookings.
Nothing in these terms limits your rights under Australian Consumer Law or other rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.
1. Using our website
We aim to keep our website accurate and up to date. Prices, products, opening hours and availability may change. Your written booking confirmation or purchase details set out the price and inclusions agreed with you.
Photographs show our property and experiences at particular times. Weather, vegetation, views and seasonal presentation may vary. Any illustrative images of proposed facilities do not form part of your booking unless expressly included in your confirmation.
Please use the website lawfully. Do not interfere with its operation, misuse booking forms or copy our photographs, branding or written content without permission, except as permitted by law.
Links to booking platforms and other websites are provided for convenience. Those providers have their own terms and privacy policies.
2. Accommodation bookings and payment
A booking is confirmed when we issue written confirmation. It applies to the dates, Pod, guest numbers and inclusions shown in that confirmation.
Accommodation and pre-ordered extras must be paid in full before arrival unless we agree otherwise in writing. Any deposit and payment deadlines will be stated before you book.
All prices are in Australian dollars and include GST unless stated otherwise. We will disclose any applicable fees before payment. Price changes do not alter the agreed price of a confirmed booking; changes you request may be quoted separately.
Promotional codes must be applied when booking. They cannot be combined unless stated and have no cash value. Offers may change or end for future bookings without affecting bookings already confirmed under them.
The lead guest must provide accurate contact and guest details, share these terms with their group and take reasonable steps to ensure everyone follows them. Please tell us about children, accessibility needs, pets or extra bedding before booking so we can confirm suitability and availability.
Selected Pods can accommodate an additional guest on a premium single airbed, by prior arrangement and for an additional fee. Occupancy limits apply.
3. Direct booking cancellations and changes
For direct accommodation bookings, the following change-of-mind cancellation policy applies, measured from the scheduled check-in time:
Notice received
Refund of accommodation payment
More than 14 days before check-in
100%
From 7 to 14 days before check-in, inclusive
50%
Less than 7 days before check-in
No refund
No-shows and early departures are generally non-refundable. These conditions do not remove any refund or other remedy required by law. Cancellation charges must be reasonable in the circumstances; we will consider avoided costs and any replacement booking when assessing amounts retained.
Please email or text cancellation or date-change requests. Changes depend on availability and may involve a rate difference. We will confirm any charges before you proceed. A date-change request does not automatically cancel or move your booking.
For bookings through Airbnb, Booking.com or another platform, the cancellation terms disclosed through that platform apply, subject to your legal rights. Please manage those bookings through the relevant provider.
If we cannot provide your confirmed accommodation, we will contact you promptly to discuss an acceptable alternative or any refund or other remedy due. We will not substitute a Pod that fails to meet a confirmed accessibility or pet requirement without your agreement.
4. Arrival and your stay
Check-in and check-out times are shown in your booking confirmation. Early arrival or late departure requires prior approval and may attract a fee.
Your Pod access code is sent on the day of arrival and expires after check-out. Keep it private and share it only with guests on your booking.
Please care for furnishings and equipment, follow the guest and safety guides and report faults or damage promptly. Additional housekeeping or linen changes may be available for a fee.
Only registered guests may stay overnight. Visitors require prior approval. Parties and unauthorised gatherings are not permitted. Quiet hours are 10 pm–8 am.
Please respect other guests, neighbours, staff and wildlife. Other Pods and their decks are private. Use shared facilities only where open and designated for guest access, and supervise children at all times.
Management may enter a Pod where reasonably necessary for an emergency, safety issue or essential maintenance. We will give reasonable notice wherever practicable and respect your privacy.
5. Pets and assistance animals
Pet stays are available in Pod 2 only, by prior arrangement. Declare your pets when booking and add the Paws & Stay package at the fee quoted. The package includes pet supplies and additional cleaning.
Please follow the Paws & Stay policy: keep dogs on lead outside the Pod, do not leave them unattended, clean up after them and use the supplied protective blankets on furniture. You are responsible for reasonable costs arising from pet damage or cleaning beyond the package allowance.
Pets are not permitted in other Pods. Assistance animals are accommodated in accordance with applicable law; contact us before arrival so we can discuss your needs.
6. Café Bar visits and reservations
Our Café Bar generally opens weekends, 10 am–2 pm, with public holiday and seasonal hours advertised separately. Check our website or social media for current hours. Weather and operational needs may affect opening times.
Café patrons are welcome on the Café Deck and Main Lawn. Accommodation areas and Pod decks are reserved for staying guests.
Tables are limited. A reservation deposit may be required; the amount and terms will be confirmed when booking. The deposit is credited to your bill and may be forfeited for a no-show where disclosed in advance. Tables are held for 15 minutes after the booked time. Please contact us if delayed or cancelling. If we cancel your reservation, we will refund any deposit paid.
Food is prepared in limited quantities and items may sell out. Our small kitchen generally cannot accommodate customisations. Please tell us about allergies or dietary requirements before ordering so we can check ingredients and preparation arrangements. Shared preparation areas mean we cannot guarantee the absence of all allergens.
Prices and available items are shown on the current menu or confirmed before ordering. Wait times may be longer during busy periods.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome in designated outdoor café areas. Keep them on lead, supervised and clear of food preparation areas and wildlife. Assistance animals are welcome as required by law.
7. Food, drinks and extras
Accommodation extras must be arranged in advance and are subject to availability, delivery windows and any lead times confirmed before purchase. Seasonal products, brands and presentation may vary; we will discuss material substitutions with you.
Alcohol is supplied under our Tasmanian liquor licence. You must be 18 or over to purchase or consume alcohol. Photo ID may be requested, and service may be refused where required by law. Please follow staff directions and enjoy responsibly.
8. Safety and care for the property
Our mountaintop setting includes steep and uneven ground, bushland, wildlife and changeable weather. Wear suitable footwear, bring warm clothing and follow signs, designated paths and safety directions. Undesignated bushland is not maintained for guest access.
Do not feed or disturb wildlife, damage vegetation or enter restricted areas. Firepit use is permitted only when authorised and safe for the conditions.
Smoking and vaping are prohibited inside Pods, inside the Café Bar and on café decks. Use designated outdoor areas only and dispose of cigarette butts safely. Reasonable additional cleaning costs may apply if smoking or vaping causes odours or damage.
Please conserve water and power, use the supplied wastewater-safe products, sort rubbish and recycling, and use shared Wi-Fi considerately. Internet and utility services may occasionally be interrupted; let us know promptly if something is not working.
Each Pod booking includes one designated parking space. Extra parking is subject to availability. Follow directions and use only approved parking areas. Secure your vehicle and valuables.
9. Damage, conduct and lost property
You are responsible for reasonable, documented repair, replacement or additional cleaning costs caused by you, your group or your pets. Fair wear and tear is excluded. We will explain any proposed charge and provide supporting details before seeking payment. Charges to a saved payment method require appropriate authority or must follow the booking platform’s process.
For a serious breach, unsafe conduct, illegal activity or abusive behaviour, we may require a guest to leave. Where appropriate, we will first explain the issue and give an opportunity to resolve it. Any cancellation charge or amount retained will be assessed reasonably and in accordance with the law.
We take reasonable care of our property and facilities. Please take reasonable care of your own safety and belongings. Our responsibility for loss, injury, property damage or service interruptions depends on the circumstances and applicable law; these terms do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
We generally hold lost property for up to 30 days where practicable. Please contact us promptly. Agreed postage and packaging costs are payable by the owner. Unclaimed items will be handled in accordance with applicable law.
10. Disruptions and concerns
Severe weather, bushfire, road closures, utility outages or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control may affect access or services. We will contact affected guests where practicable and discuss available alternatives, rescheduling and any refunds or other remedies required by law. A disruption does not automatically remove your consumer rights.
If something is not right, please let us know promptly so we have an opportunity to help. We will work with you in good faith to resolve concerns. You remain free to seek assistance from a regulator, tribunal or court.
11. Gift vouchers
Gift vouchers for accommodation, Café Bar purchases and related extras are subject to the terms disclosed at purchase and printed on the voucher. Purchased vouchers are valid for three years from purchase and cannot be exchanged for cash. Change-of-mind refunds are not available, without limiting rights under Australian Consumer Law.
Monetary vouchers retain their dollar value and are applied to prices current when redeemed. Paid experience vouchers secure the agreed inclusions and price. Please quote your voucher code when booking or ordering. See our Gift Voucher Guide for full purchase and redemption details.

If we cancel, postpone or materially change an event, we will notify you as soon as practicable and explain your options, including any applicable refund rights. Minor changes do not ordinarily entitle guests to a refund.
Severe weather, bushfire, road closures, government restrictions or utility failures may affect an event. We will discuss available alternatives and assess refunds or other remedies under your booking agreement and applicable law.
5. Private and corporate event arrangements
The organiser is responsible for communicating these terms to guests and ensuring suppliers follow the approved event plan.
Your agreement confirms:
event times, including supplier access, setup and pack-down;
permitted spaces, guest capacity and seating arrangements;
final guest numbers, dietary requirements and order deadlines;
catering, beverages, minimum spends and staffing; and
any additional hire, cleaning, security or supplier requirements.
Changes to guest numbers, timings or inclusions require written confirmation. Additional guests and extended venue use are subject to approval and may attract extra charges. Reductions after the agreed final-number deadline may not reduce the confirmed charge where costs have already been committed.
External suppliers, decorations, structures, amplified music, flames and special effects require prior approval. Nothing may be attached to buildings or vegetation without permission.
6. Entry and respectful behaviour
Please follow staff directions, event times and any advertised age restrictions.
We may refuse entry or require someone to leave for unsafe, aggressive, abusive or seriously disruptive behaviour, or where required by liquor licensing laws. Where appropriate, we will explain the concern and give an opportunity to resolve it.
A refund will not ordinarily be available where removal results from a serious breach, subject to applicable law.
7. Food and alcohol
No BYO alcohol. External food or catering requires prior written approval.
Alcohol is supplied under our Tasmanian liquor licence and served only to people aged 18 or over. Valid photo ID may be requested. Service may be refused where required by law.
Menus and products may vary with seasonal and supplier availability. Please discuss allergies and dietary requirements before booking; private event organisers must provide final requirements by the agreed deadline.
We will confirm what we can accommodate. Shared preparation areas mean we cannot guarantee food is free from all allergens or cross-contact.
8. Children and dogs
Children are welcome at designated family events and must be supervised by a responsible adult throughout. Events advertised as 18+, including adult-only Sunset Sessions, do not admit children.
Dogs are welcome only at designated dog-friendly events or by prior agreement. They must remain on lead, supervised and under effective control. Owners must clean up immediately and prevent disturbance to guests or wildlife. Aggressive or disruptive dogs may be required to leave.
Assistance animals are welcome in accordance with applicable law.
9. Event areas and accommodation privacy
Please remain within the designated event areas. Pod accommodation, private decks and surrounding guest spaces are off limits unless expressly included in your booking.
Venue hire does not include Pod accommodation or exclusive use of the whole property unless confirmed in writing.
Respect staying guests and neighbours, observe agreed noise limits and follow staff directions.
10. Safety and property care
Our natural setting includes steep and uneven ground, bushland, wildlife and changeable weather. Stay on designated paths, supervise children and keep clear of restricted areas. Do not feed wildlife or damage vegetation.
Smoking and vaping are prohibited inside the Café Bar, on café decks and inside marquees or enclosed structures. Use designated smoking areas only and dispose of cigarette butts safely.
Guests and organisers are responsible for reasonable, documented costs arising from damage or excessive cleaning caused by them, their guests or suppliers. Fair wear and tear is excluded. We will explain proposed charges and provide supporting details before seeking payment.
11. Photography and privacy
We may arrange photography or video during events. We will seek permission before using identifiable images of guests for our own promotional purposes. For children, permission must come from a parent or guardian.
Please tell our team if you prefer not to be photographed, and respect other guests’ privacy when taking your own photos.
Personal information is handled under The George Tasmania’s Privacy Policy.
12. Responsibility and concerns
We take reasonable care to provide safe facilities and services. Guests must also take reasonable care of their own safety and belongings.
Responsibility for injury, loss, damage or service disruption depends on the circumstances and applicable law. These terms do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Please raise concerns with our team promptly so we have an opportunity to help.
