Because Sitting Still Is Optional
aka Things to Do - George Town Tasmania
Ready, set, explore.
MTB
Ride from Bed to Berm. Literally.
Step straight out of your pod and start shredding — no commute, no excuses. Or cruise over to Tippogoree Hills, our fun-loving neighbour stacked with flow, flair, and a few heart-thumping climbs. That’s 100+ km of purpose-built mountain bike trails waiting to test your legs and fuel your grin.
Spend the day (or two) exploring the George Town MTB Trails — then roll just 200 metres (or a 6-minute spin) back to The George Tasmania, your premier mountain bike accommodation. Rinse off the dirt at our on-site bike wash, rack your ride, and refuel with your choice of local bevy.
Because here, adventure starts at your door — and the recovery tastes just as good.
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.
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 deliver the ultimate links golf experience — pure coastal magic, rolling fairways, and views so good you’ll almost forget your score.
Make us your golfing holiday accommodation base to check out all other fabulous golf courses in Northern Tasmania, including George Town Golf Club, only 6 mins away with its nine holes of undulating hills and testing pleasure, and Launceston Golf Club, the oldest 18-hole golf course in Tasmania with its par-72, 5,808-metre layout (only 40 mins away).
Tamar Vineyards
Winding from the Tamar Valley to Pipers River, this pocket of northern Tasmania is a wine lover’s dream — award-winning vineyards, welcoming cellar doors, and long lunches that somehow turn into sunsets. Grab a glass and take your time — everything good here happens slowly.
If MTB or golf is not your cup of tea, we can still be your Northern Tassie accommodation base if your preference is to partake of all the fabulous Tasmanian wineries, distilleries and cellar doors in and around the Tamar Valley!
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.
