Tasmania to get a new east coast resort

Tasmania’s spectacular east coast will gain a new luxury accommodation and vineyard experience later this year. 

Wineglass Bay Estate and its on-site vineyard Kitty’s Mistake are scheduled to open on June 10, the owner said in a press release. 

On the fringes of Freycinet National Park, the new property will feature a collection of retreats set along the edge of Moulting Lagoon with guests enjoying access to Kitty’s Mistake, a boutique, cool-climate vineyard within the property planted with young pinot noir vines. 

The new property is aimed at travellers "seeking meaningful experiences and the opportunity to engage with the surrounding landscape and local producers".

“The intention was to create a stay that sits quietly within its environment, offering the comfort and considered detail of a five-star hotel, with the privacy and space more often associated with a private stay,” said Kim Alfeldi, the owner of Wineglass Bay Estate. 

Wineglass Bay Estate has been developed with a deliberate focus on quality over scale, the release says. 

Guests will be encouraged to engage with the surrounding landscape, local producers and seasonal rhythms of the region. 

Accommodation retreats will all face front and centre overlooking the water, each designed to offer uninterrupted water views. 

Each retreat will have a king bed, en-suite bathroom, and spacious deck. 

Wineglass Bay Estate is about 2 hours from either Launceston or Hobart.
