Just wanted to drop you a short note to thank you for a terrific itinerary and choice of accommodations. We got back from Tasmania having had the best 'real' holiday in years. Loved it! The order of the trip was perfect and all the hotel bookings worked seamlessly. Anyway, just wanted to say we had a great time thanks to your help ! I'm strongly recommending Tasmania and Tasmania.com to all our friends now!

On the whole, what we loved about Tassie was the stunning countryside, picture perfect views, great food and wine, and the ease of getting around. It's not at all crowded - probably the most people we saw in any one place was at MONA, the Salamanca market and up around Cradle Mountain. Even then it was pretty light compared to Sydney traffic and crowds.

P Helson - Sydney

Our holiday was as enjoyable as we hoped, thank you for your recommendations and itinerary, we were very pleased to take the long road from Coles Bay. Iron House is a superb spot and we found the best pinot noir we tasted (and there were many) at Priory Ridge near St Helens. Probably the most rustic of all cellar doors too!

B Northy - New Zealand

I just want to say thanks to you and your team for organising or Tassie trip. The accommodation was lovely and everything was so easy, that was no hiccups. Thanks again.
