Starlit Tasmania – Stargazing Experiences

Starlit Tasmania creates intimate stargazing experiences beneath Tasmania's vast southern skies. Through storytelling, seasonal sky highlights and shared moments in nature, guests are invited to slow down, look up and rediscover wonder. Weekly scheduled sessions are available, alongside private and small-group experiences designed to feel personal and relaxed. With sustainability at the heart of each gathering, minimal lighting is used to preserve the natural darkness and honour the surrounding environment. Multilingual Tours are available in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Take in the long view. Timeless design sustainably built. Maintaining the land and its heritage as a working farm. Respectful of nature, history, culture and the local community. Relax your eyes and relax your spirit. Gaze across the landscape where rows of cherry trees form lines down toward the water's edge and Iron Creek Bay lies tranquil before us. The long view understands that good things take time. Quality, craftsmanship and the quiet pursuit of detail. It means slowing down and noticing the importance of simple things – a hidden nest of duck eggs, the scent of cherry blossoms on the breeze. When we take the long view, we open all our senses to the world around us. We allow ourselves to be surprised. Long table lunches, lazy picnics in the orchard. Lingering walks through hidden gardens and sheltered spaces. Looking up to the vast sky at night. Listening to the stories of our surroundings. We are a family business built on a family farm. We cherish both our Chinese heritage and the local culture of our Tasmanian community. The long view reminds us to care about people and the special occasions in their lives. To welcome them from near and far and take time over the moments that bring them together – for adventure, for work, for community, for family and for love.

A rare opportunity presents to stay in a home described by Grand Designs Australia TV host Peter Madison as a 'love letter to Tasmania.' Just 35 minutes from Hobart's CBD, the pod feels a world away in seaside Lewisham. The architectural home is 40sq metres, snug by design for an intimate escape. Every touch is considered local. Sink deep into your Huon pine tub, made with timber sourced from the depths of Lake Pieman. Settle into the hand-crafted couch, made exclusively for the pod. Here, through floor-to-ceiling windows, nature is your entertainment. Views out to the dunes and the Southern Ocean beyond are rivalled only by Mount Wellington / kunanyi out to the west. Surf beaches are just around the corner. Come nightfall, set the suspended fireplace aglow. Its bold personality is the work of an artisan blacksmith. Your functional kitchen is appointed with the latest appliances while the bathroom boasts a basin crafted by an acclaimed Tasmanian ceramicist. Everything in the pod whispers of the island’s finest materials and craftspeople. Fill your senses with local - from relaxed tunes to the smooth timber couch curves. This cocoon is about reconnection ... with another, with yourself, with nature. Find out why the pod took out the #1 spot nationally on Airbnb by coming for your own Lewisham escape.
