The Pavilions at Mona
Secluded in very private waterfront bushland, The Pavilions at Mona are eight super-flash luxury dens, perfect for those who like their luxe accommodation to be both stimulating and relaxing. Aside from their shared—stunning—sunrise-aspect views of the River Derwent, each pavilion is uniquely adorned with artworks from Mona's private collection, bespoke furniture by Tasmanian designers, and furnishings from the likes of Philippe Starck, Patricia Urquiola and Ron Arad (plus the odd bit of pre-Columbian sculpture). As well as the usual niceties—spas, great sheets, fluffy bathrobes, primo minibar featuring wines made on the estate—guests receive a complimentary Moorilla wine tasting and daily breakfast in the lavish Source Restaurant. There are several other bars and restaurants on site, too. A stay in The Pavilions also gets you priority access to Mona—a bucket-list Tasmanian destination that's only made better by gloating that you stayed there as well.
