Picnic Island — Local services in Tasmania

We were lucky enough to spend Christmas 2022 on Picnic Island in Great Oyster Bay (Coles Bay).

Picnic island is an idylic place to enjoy , a must do experience.Our family of 8 including 2 children had the perfect get together for 3 nights. The accomadation is perfectly designed for an island ,blends into the environment,very comfortable, the winter sun warmed the rooms beautifully. The days passed quickly with plenty to do, with walks around the island frequently to observe the wildlife,including seals frollicking, abundant bird life, fishing ,collecting muscles at low tide, exploring the rocks, finding the hidden treasure chest hidden in the rocks,sitting on the decks enjoying a wine with spectacular scenery all around, and of course going out at night to see the penguins and listening to the chat as they leave the island in the morning, they were nesting behind the bedrooms. None of us even read a page of a book. It is an absolutely fabulous place to relax and have quality family time together. We have been to some absolutely amazing places around the world, Picnic Island has been added to the...
