Landscape Restaurant and Grill creates an unforgettable dining experience on Hobart's waterfront within the original sandstone and timber fabric of the 1830s IXL building. It is centred upon a selection of premium Tasmanian and Australian steaks as well as seafood of the closest providence, cooked predominantly on the wood-fired Asado Grill. It is a modern, dark space, surrounded by the iconic art of John Glover, with a simple and sophisticated menu. Group private dining and entire venue hire are available.

Set off early from Hobart for an inspiring full-day birding experience. Travel through the scenic Channel region to Bruny Island—one of Tasmania's most biodiverse hotspots. Your first stop is the Inala Private Nature Reserve, a sanctuary for rare and endangered species. With a specialist guide, explore its diverse habitats on a private walking tour. Discover all 12 of Tasmania's endemic birds, and from a specially designed canopy platform, observe one of the largest colonies of the endangered Forty-spotted Pardalote. Keep your eyes skyward—you may spot raptors such as the Wedge-tailed Eagle (Tasmanian subspecies) or the elusive white morph Grey Goshawk. After a lunch in a local restaurant view bay views return to the mainland for a private visit to the Raptor Refuge, Tasmania's premier raptor rehabilitation centre. On a personal "Walk & Talk" tour, meet some of the island's most powerful birds—eagles, hawks, falcons, and owls—up close. Wander through tranquil bushland, step inside the largest flight aviary in the southern hemisphere and explore the interactive education centre. Each bird has a story—and you'll leave with a deeper understanding and awe for their incredible abilities.
