Sitting still is optional…
aka Things to Do - George Town Tasmania
Ready, set, explore.
MTB
Step out of your pod and straight onto the George Town MTB Trails — no commute, no excuses. Or hit Tippogoree Hills for flow, views, and grin-worthy descents. That’s 100+ km of purpose-built trails ready to test your legs.
Then roll 200 metres back to The George Tasmania — your premier MTB base. Wash down your bike, rack it, and refuel with a local bevy. Adventure starts at your door — and recovery tastes even better.
Rock Climbing
With over 150 routes of excellent quality and unrivalled accessibility, the Hillwood Rock Climbing Area is arguably the best sport climbing crag in Tasmania.

Barnbougle
Consistently ranked among the world’s best, Barnbougle and Lost Farm serve up pure links magic — rolling fairways and wild coastal views.
Make The George Tasmania your golf getaway base and tee off across Northern Tasmania. Play George Town Golf Club just 6 minutes away — nine holes of undulating, grin-inducing challenge — or swing down to Launceston Golf Club, Tasmania’s oldest 18-hole course with a par-72, 5,808-metre layout just 40 minutes from your pod.
World-class golf, easy drives, zero fuss.
Adventures
George Town
Founded in 1804, George Town is a treasure chest of history — Australia’s third-oldest European settlement and still full of character.
So much to see and do in George Town and surrounds - have a peek inside The Watch House Museum (once a gaol), or dive into the region’s maritime story at the Bass and Flinders Museum.
Low Head
By day, the Pilots steer ships through the Tamar’s storied waters. By night, the penguins take over — waddling home beneath the glow of the lighthouse like tiny tuxedoed locals.
Wineries and distilleries
Tamar Vineyards
Winding from the Tamar Valley to Pipers River, this northern Tasmanian pocket is a wine lover’s playground — award-winning vineyards, relaxed cellar doors, and long lunches that somehow drift into sunset. Sip, swirl, linger… nothing here is in a hurry.
Not into MTB or golf? No worries. The George Tasmania is still your perfect Northern Tassie accommodation base for exploring the region’s best wineries, distilleries, and cellar doors — all flavour, no lycra required.
