Things to Do - George Town & Low Head
Northern 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.
Bushwalks & Trails
Lace up and explore Northern Tasmania on foot. From The George Tasmania, discover nearby Mount George bush trails, the historic Low Head Coastal Trail, lighthouse and Pilot Station walks, and scenic routes around George Town and the Tamar River.
Venture a little further for popular walks through Narawntapu National Park, Bridport and the Pipers River region, with beaches, coastal heath, native wildlife and sweeping Bass Strait views.
From an easy seaside wander to a proper bushwalk—fresh air and wild Tassie landscapes are never far away.

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.
Low Head
Steeped in maritime history, Low Head is home to one of Australia's oldest pilot stations and the iconic lighthouse guarding the entrance to the Tamar River. Explore beautiful beaches, coastal walks and heritage sites, watch ships navigate the river entrance, then, at dusk, join the famous Low Head Penguin Tour as little penguins waddle ashore beneath the lighthouse (https://www.penguintourstasmania.com.au) —a truly unforgettable Tasmanian experience.
