Going to Tasmania don't miss the Islington Hotel in Hobart and Mona (Virgin Mary with elephant dung and porn pictures anybody ?) - the museum of old and new art where you will also find very nice pavillions and a great restaurant on the Dervent river.

Otherwise Tasmania is a hospitality desert (or rather nightmare). You can survive on the West Cost at Strahan Village and in the mountains at Cradle Mountains Lodge - possibly the worse ratio quality for money. And to find the most stunningly restored beautiful country house hotel with the poorest managemenst one can imagin head to Quamby Estate. PM me if needed.

If it were not for Saffire and MONA I would recommend to all to just go to the NZ south island ....
