Ballantine's on the Rocks (Arthurs Lake) – Lakeside Luxury & Whiskey on the House 🥃
Imagine waking up to panoramic Arthurs Lake views and ending the day with a free Ballantine’s whisky nightcap by the fireplace. At Ballantine’s on the Rocks, you get a new 2-bedroom, 2-bath retreat packed with special touches:
Fully stocked kitchen & pantry: No need to bring the kitchen sink – it’s already here! The pantry and fridge/freezer are fully loaded with breakfast cereals, cooking staples, condiments, even frozen meals and veggies. Cook up a feast with ease (MasterChef mode activated 👩🍳), then top it off with that complimentary whisky “on the rocks.”
Ultimate comfort & fun: Sink into luxurious adjustable beds with memory foam mattresses (sweet dreams guaranteed), wrap yourself in premium linens and cozy throws, and enjoy your own entertainment hub – large Smart TV with Netflix/Stan ready to go. There’s even a grand piano for impromptu musical moments – talk about hitting the right notes on your holiday! 🎶
Stunning design & views: This modern architectural gem features an open-plan living area with floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the space in natural light. Step out to your private balcony or terrace and soak in uninterrupted lake vistas and mesmerizing sunsets. You might catch sight of local wildlife wandering by, or just enjoy the peaceful lakeside serenity with every breath of fresh mountain air.
Adventure at your doorstep: Positioned above Arthurs Lake, Ballantine’s is a dream for anglers and explorers. Stroll down to the shoreline or access some of Tasmania’s finest trout fishing spots within minutes – your next big catch could be the stuff of legends 🎣. Not into fishing? No worries – you’ll love the walking trails, photography opportunities, and pure tranquility of this location. And with a late 4 pm checkout, you can savor every moment (sleep-in, anyone?).
Dan's Cul-na-Saith (Tods Corner on Great Lake) – Your Great Lake Haven 🏡
Don’t let the quirky name fool you – Dan’s Cul-na-Saith is the ultimate Great Lake getaway that’ll steal your heart (even if you can’t pronounce it 😄). This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath home can host up to 8 guests in comfort and style, making it perfect for big families, groups of friends, or even an indulgent couples’ retreat. Here’s why Dan’s is a catch:
Cozy vibes & ample space: Nestled right by the Great Lake, this hideaway offers unobstructed panoramic water views and a peaceful, secluded atmosphere. Enjoy your morning coffee or an evening Tassie wine on the veranda while the sun dances on the lake. Inside, relax by the wood-burning heater on chilly nights (marshmallows, anyone? 🔥), and stretch out in the chic, minimalist living spaces adorned with local photography art. There’s plenty of room for everyone to unwind and feel at home.
Fully stocked pantry:🍷 The kitchen is a foodie’s dream: a gourmet, fully-equipped kitchen with a coffee machine (caffeine lovers rejoice ☕) and all the cookware you need. The pantry and fridge are well-stocked with essentials and local goodies, so you can whip up anything from a quick snack to a hearty dinner without a trip to the store. There’s even a mini bar cart for crafting your favorite cocktail. Cheers to that!
Extras that thrill: We’ve packed Dan’s with fun and convenient extras. A mountain bike is provided for you to explore the scenic surroundings. A selection of games, books, and magazines is on hand for cozy nights in. Fast free Wi-Fi and Smart TVs mean you can stream a movie or check in with the world (only if you want to!). Plush towels, luxury toiletries, and high-quality bedding make your stay feel like a hotel indulgence with the privacy of your own house. We’ve even created an allergen-friendly environment with air purifiers, so all guests breathe easy.
Outdoor adventure ready: Step outside and you’re literally steps from Great Lake’s shore. Cast a line from dawn till dusk in this fly-fishing paradise – the trout here are famous and waiting for you to test your skills. 🐟 Prefer land adventures? Hit the nearby trails, wander through Tasmania’s highland wilderness, or set up on the shore for a picnic with an epic view. By night, the clear highland skies put on a show of a million stars – you might even glimpse the Southern Lights (Aurora Australis) if you’re lucky. ✨ Talk about a bucket-list photo op!
Explore Nature’s Wonderland 🌲
Both Arthurs Lake and Great Lake areas offer a nature lover’s playground. Here’s what you can look forward to beyond the front door of our homes:
Fishing & Boating: World-class trout fishing in crystal-clear lakes. Bring your rod and boat (we have plenty of parking space for it) and reel in the adventure. Not a fishing pro? Simply enjoy a tranquil boat ride or paddle along the calm waters.
Hiking & Wildlife: Numerous walking tracks and bush trails invite you to explore the alpine bushland. Keep an eye out for local wildlife – think friendly wallabies, wombats waddling by, or eagles soaring overhead. The photography opportunities are endless, from misty morning lake shots to vibrant sunsets.
Sightseeing & Relaxing: Take a scenic drive through the Central Highlands – discover lookouts with panoramic views, visit nearby highland towns (and the historic Waddamana Power Station Museum for a dose of Tassie history), or simply set up on the deck with a good book and let the day melt away. It’s the kind of place where time slows down.
