Attractions
 When you stay at Bluff lodge, you’re in the heart of historic Kangaroo Bluff, at Bellerive, within easy reach of activities, dining and winery experiences and only 15 minutes from Hobart Airport.
Explore a fascinating colonial past at nearby Kangaroo Bluff Fort, where canons stand as silent sentinels from an era when Hobart was on alert for the possibility of invasion.
Tasmania’s international cricket ground is a few minutes walk in one direction, while the waterfront Bellerive Village is a short stroll the other way. Meander the clifftop along the Bluff for amazing views of Hobart across the Derwent River, and enjoy views of majestic Mount Wellington from local beaches.
 Other activities include:
a ferry ride from the nearby terminal to Saturday’s Salamanca Market;
-
a chat with local yachties or a meal at Bellerive Yacht Club while you check out the local vessels moored at Kangaroo Bay Marina;
-
lazy times in the Royal Botanical Gardens, including a taste of the Antarctic in the Sub-Antarctic Plant House;
-
temptations for the taste buds on a Cadbury Chocolate Factory tour, Cascade Brewery Tour or a visit to the Island Fudge factory at the historic South Hobart Women’s Factory;
-
a view from high above, at the summit of Mount Wellington, 1270 metres above sea level, just 25 minutes easy drive - unique in Australia;
-
shopping at the nearby Eastlands Shopping Centre or retail therapy in the city or the many art and craft galleries at Salamanca Place;
-
a trip to the Coal River Valley wine district to meet the people behind the scenes at boutique wineries and at Meadowbank Estate, where wine and art make a cosy marriage; or
-
a journey into the strength of the human spirit on the convict trail to Port Arthur Historic Site, enjoying the stunning coastal formations of the Tasman National Park along the way.
And that’s just for starters. Your hosts, Keryn and Chris Goodman, have almost 20 years of knowledge on Tasmania’s tourism industry and can help with more information on attractions or itinerary planning.
