A boutique alpine wilderness lodge in the Central Highlands of Tasmania. It’s a place like no other.
Almost otherworldly, it’s remote, barren but beautiful and unique. It’s a place that can be serene and silent yet in an instant; cold, raw and unfriendly but comfort is always close by.
1000 Lakes is in the Central Plateau World Heritage Area of Tasmania, to the West is the Walls of Jerusalem to the East the Great Lakes and is, as the name suggests the ideal base for exploring the 1000 lakes area.
Only 90 minutes from Launceston and 2 hours from Hobart, it’s a stunning drive which is accessible almost all year round.
Here in this alpine environment the air is noticeably clear and the silence is inspiring, on a still day; birds, bugs and fish surfacing within your reach. On days when the wind is high and the temperature drops, it will take your breath-away and find you in awe of its harshness.
Dusk acts as a cue for native animals to commence their procession to scavenge food; wombats, quoll, Tasmanian devils, wallabies and possums transform the area into a hub of activity.
Thousand Lakes Lodge provides delicious and hearty meals when you stay.
