A world away is closer than you think

Lake St Clair Lodge is located on the shore of Australia’s deepest freshwater lake.

The area has a still, calm, ambience which lends itself to a connection with this remote, wild and globally significant World Heritage Area. So hold your breath, close your eyes and enter a world away.

Quality experiences abound, with bushwalking, canoeing, or enjoying the relaxing, meditative silence. Listen to the wildlife and hear the almost noiseless movement of neighbours such as Pademelons, Bennett’s Wallabies and an array of creatures to delight and add to this exceptional experience.

Platypus Bay is an easy 30 minute return walk from Watersmeet Bridge. Combining an early morning or late afternoon walk with the observation of one of world’s most interesting creatures makes for a rare encounter.

Located just 2.5 hours from Hobart and Strahan on the Lyell Highway (3 hours from Launceston) it is an easy drive to an incomparable experience.

A range of accommodation options from lakeside cottages to camping is available.
