What We Love
Perched above the iconic Great Eastern Drive on a convict heritage site, Rocky Ridge is a striking modern lodge capturing sweeping views over Great Oyster Bay, the Freycinet Peninsula and Schouten and Maria Islands. Awaken to the ever-changing light while watching a glorious sunrise over the bay or at dusk watch the sunset from the Spotted Gum timber deck. enjoy a glass of wine while watching the sea eagles hover above the grass in the breeze!
The house itself is an architectural showpiece of generous proportions - both beautifully designed and built. Discover the beauty of Tasmania while using the lodge as your base, or simply stay and enjoy all that this magnificent location has to offer.
The living space comprises three bedrooms over two levels, two king bedrooms with ensuites and a further guest bedroom with a queen with access to another bathroom making it a welcome space for families and groups. Interiors showcase bespoke fittings and local artwork, Tasmanian timber floors and extensive glass that reveals stunning water, mountain and valley views at every chance. An open plan dining and lounge with cathedral ceilings is exactly where you’ll want to be, with the sleek black kitchen offering a dreamy space to create a comforting meal.
Lace up your boots and wander deep into and breathe in Tasmania’s World Heritage wilderness. You are just under an hour drive north to Coles Bay and Freycinet National Park (where you’ll find Wineglass Bay). Or head on down south to Triabunna and Maria Island National Park Ferry within 30 minutes away.
Local shops, galleries, cafes, a pharmacy, supermarkets and fuel stations can be found just a 10-minute drive away in nearby Swansea.

About the area
Hobart, the picturesque capital of Tasmania, is a city that offers a delightful blend of heritage, scenery, and culture. Nestled between the estuary of the Derwent River and the foothills of Mount Wellington, Hobart is a city where the wilderness is always within reach, and the water's edge provides a stunning backdrop to an eclectic urban life.
The city's rich history is palpable in the well-preserved Georgian and Victorian architecture, particularly in the Salamanca Place precinct with its sandstone warehouses that now house galleries, cafes, and boutiques. On Saturdays, Salamanca Market comes alive with vendors selling local crafts, fresh produce, and gourmet food, making it a must-visit for a taste of Tasmanian culture.
Mount Wellington, or Kunanyi as it is known in the Aboriginal language, looms over the city, offering breathtaking views and a range of outdoor activities. Adventurous travelers can hike or mountain bike on its many trails, or simply drive to the summit for panoramic vistas of Hobart and beyond.
The city's maritime heritage is celebrated at the waterfront, where visitors can explore the maritime museum or take a cruise along the river. The harbor area is also home to some of Hobart's finest dining, with an emphasis on fresh seafood and local produce.
Art lovers will find their haven at the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), a world-class institution that has put Hobart on the global art map. MONA's provocative and often controversial exhibits are housed in an underground space that is an architectural marvel in itself.
For those interested in Australia's colonial history, a visit to the nearby Port Arthur Historic Site is essential. This former penal colony tells a poignant story of the country's past and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Hobart's natural surroundings also offer unique experiences, such as the chance to see the Southern Lights, or Aurora Australis, which occasionally light up the night sky with mesmerizing colors. The city's proximity to wilderness areas like the Tasman Peninsula and Bruny Island provides opportunities for wildlife encounters, including the famous Tasmanian devil.
In essence, Hobart is a city that offers a harmonious balance between the natural and the man-made, the historic and the contemporary. It's a place where every traveler can find something to love, whether it's the fresh air of the mountains, the buzz of the market, or the allure of cutting-edge art and culture.
