Experiences
Hobart is home to fine food and wine, a vibrant art and music culture, striking architecture and world-famous galleries.
The southern tip of Tasmania is also famous for its wilderness, wildlife and colonial heritage - and it's all less than a few hours' drive from Mantra One Sandy Bay Road.
Get a taste of early convict life at the Port Arthur Historic Site, sip on award-winning wines in the Huon Valley and explore the rugged coastlines of Bruny Island and the Tasman Peninsula.
If you're after adventure, take off hiking to Mt Field National Park, Hastings Caves and Russell Falls - or talk to our staff about abseiling, kayaking, canoeing, whitewater rafting and cycling your way around some of the world's most stunning locations.
Take the kids to Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary where they can get up close and personal with native animals, and sign up for the Tahune Forest AirWalk to experience the beauty of Tasmania's wilderness from 45 metres above the forest canopy.
This is the perfect place to reconnect with nature and lose yourself. Come and join us.
