Pumphouse Point
Highlights

In the middle of Tasmania, on the Southern Hemisphere’s deepest lake, awaits one of Australia’s most iconic wilderness experiences: Pumphouse Point.
Pumphouse Point is a unique adults-only retreat poised mysteriously over the glacial waters of Lake St Clair. 21 boutique rooms and suites have been thoughtfully created within a magnificent industrial 1930s pump house surrounded by century-old forests, where time grinds to a halt for quiet awe, calm, and reconnection.
Pumphouse Point is an entirely unique wilderness experience, from gliding away on e-bikes, indulging in local produce and wine, packing picnics from all-inclusive larders or relaxing into a highland massage, it’s no wonder it’s been crowned Australia’s best unique accommodation.
For the ultimate wilderness experience, stay in one of three luxury Retreat rooms offering the most secluded and indulgent way to experience Tasmania’s wild heart
