The Lodge At Tarraleah
Location: Tasmania | Country Tasmania
|
The Lodge was originally built in the 1930’s, in an Art Deco style, to house the cream of Tasmania’s pioneering hydro electricity officers and gentlemen. The guest book featured the powerful and famous and if you have the time to listen, has hosted more than its share of the risqué! Comprehensively refurbished in 2006, The Lodge retains the original 1930’s craftsmanship and now incorporates contemporary Tasmanian design and the latest in modern communication. Deluxe guest rooms and suites have been sympathetically built within the outer building shell and now incorporate the very finest of small luxury hotel living. Luxurious guest rooms all have:
Some rooms have fires and private balconies and all guests have a complimentary soft minibar and original Tasmanian art. Ponder the view, soak in our cliff top hot tub, wander through the private garden or make new friends with the massive yet gentle Highland cattle helping us to create new parkland around The Lodge. Enjoy a complementary pre dinner glass of our own private label wine in The Library, before dinner at the Wildside Restaurant with its choice of over 300 cellared Tasmanian and iconic wines. Return to The Library, (marvelling at the carpet of stars above your head), for post dinner coffee, super premium cognacs and a selection of over 200 malt whiskies. The Lodge has won a number of awards since opening amongst them, inclusion on Conde Nast USA “Hot list - the insiders guide to scene stealing hotels.”The Lodge is currently "The Australian Travel & Tourism Awards" 'Best Lodge' winner. We would love to show you why. Crisp white sheets on custom made Tasmanian king size beds, silk filled doonas, delicately soft mohair throws, bespoke furniture, comfortable sofas, heated bathroom floors, interesting art, powerful showers and the latest in spa baths. There are real fires, warm rugs, fluffy towels and luxury toiletries by Moulton Brown. Private balconies and spa baths that glow in the dark just beg for champagne, bubbles... Book into one of the deluxe guest rooms or for that very special occasion, The Highlander Suite. Kick back or kick on - wilderness, wildlife and walking all await you. However you spend your day, fine dining, fresh Tasmanian produce and some simply stunning wines await you at dinner. A glass of Tasmanian wine on us, a four-course dinner at our Wildside Restaurant and a breakfast cooked to order in the morning is all included. Take some time to relax in The Library - enjoy the warm glow of a log fire matched with a single malt from the collection of over 200. Or simply enjoy the view as well as the quirky Tasmanian art. Our objective is to ensure that your visit exceeds expectations. Perhaps we can do something very special for your visit... rose petals on the floor, flickering candlelight in the room, Dom Perignon on ice, a gift box of tied flies? Please ask and the butler will deliver. Take the freshest of Tasmanian produce and add culinary expertise of the highest order. Visiting Tasmania has to include experiencing some of the Island’s most outstanding produce, to which we have added crisp white linen, candles, blazing fire, beautiful stemware and sparkling company. Wildside Restaurant has won international recognition from the likes of Condé Nast for fine local dining at its best. Tonight we might be serving fresh Tasmanian scallops and then seared Highland loin of lamb with wild black mushrooms. Or perhaps King Island blue crepes with a trio of Tasmanian fish to follow. Apple tarte with organic cream, maybe Swiss Chocolate fondue and definitely a sample of Tasmania’s wonderful cheeses. Dining at the Lodge or, with Chef's permission in the kitchen itself, is an experience and our wine list is comprehensive whether your choice is Australian icons, Premier Cru or exploring Tasmania’s finest. A cellar list of over three hundred wines housed a six metre long, climate controlled, ‘Wall of Wine’. Bordeaux? Burgundy? Vintage champagne? Hill of Grace? Care to work your way through more than a decade of Grange? Sample some outstanding Tasmanian pinots. Savour some aged muscat or vintage port. Life is too short... and then there is The Library Bar. The Lodge boasts more than 200 fine malt whiskies from around the world and a ‘virgin broach bonus’, the explanation of which will have to await your arrival. Probably one of the largest collections of single malts in Australia.
