A Day in Nature – Mt Field National Park and Russell Falls

Posted on July 12, 2025 | 1 comment

We took a beautiful day trip from Hobart to explore the scenic wonders of Mt Field National Park, and it turned out to be one of our most memorable adventures in Tasmania. The drive from Hobart took just under 1.5 hours, and it was a lovely and peaceful journey through the countryside.

When we arrived, we purchased our park entry ticket at the visitor centre and got a handy map with walking tracks clearly marked. The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially in pointing out what would be best for families with kids. The main walk to Russell Falls is easy and well maintained – perfect for prams and little legs.

The walk itself was stunning, surrounded by tall tree ferns, moss-covered trees, and the sound of birds all around. We took our time, soaking in the serenity, and the kids were happily pointing out different trees and trying to spot wildlife. When we finally reached Russell Falls, we were all in awe. The waterfall is absolutely beautiful – water cascading down over layered rocks, with mist gently rising as it hit the base. It felt like we were in the middle of a nature documentary.

We loved the spot so much that we stayed there for a while, just enjoying the view and taking photos. From there, we decided to continue on to Horseshoe Falls. It was a short uphill walk from Russell Falls – a bit more effort, but manageable, and the reward was worth it. Horseshoe Falls has a quieter, more tucked-away feel, and the kids loved climbing the steps and rocks along the way. The track loops around, so we ended up walking through more of the forest and seeing even more of the natural beauty that the park has to offer.

There’s something really special about being out in nature like this – no screens, no rush, just the sound of the water, the trees, and the excited voices of our kids exploring. We finished the day with a snack at the picnic area near the visitor centre before heading back to Hobart.

It was a peaceful, refreshing, and family-friendly day out – we all agreed it was one of the highlights of our Tassie trip. Highly recommend Mt Field and Russell Falls for anyone looking to experience Tasmania’s natural beauty up close.

Sweet Stop at Bruny Island Chocolate Co 🍫

Posted on July 10, 2025 | Leave a comment

While exploring Bruny Island, we made a quick stop at the Bruny Island Chocolate Company in Adventure Bay. It’s a small, charming roadside shop that’s perfect for a brief visit. Despite its size, the shop offers a delightful array of handmade chocolates and fudges.

We were in and out in about 10 minutes, picking up our favourites: a rich chocolate fudge and a bag of assorted chocolates. The selection includes treats like rocky road, chocolate-coated honeycomb, ginger, and various fudges such as hazelnut, mint, caramel, and even a unique Hounds Tooth Whisky blend.

Though there are no tastings or on-site demonstrations. It’s an ideal spot for a quick snack or to grab some sweet souvenirs. The shop also features a range of gift tins and locally made items, making it a convenient stop for those looking to take a piece of Bruny Island home.

Located at 55 Adventure Bay Road, the shop is open daily from 10 am to 4 pm.

Sweet Stop at Bruny Island Honey 🍯

Posted on July 9, 2025 | Leave a comment

We visited Bruny Island Honey in Great Bay, and it was such a delightful experience! The shop is beautifully decorated in cheerful yellow tones, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The shop may appear modest in size, but it’s impressively stocked with a wide variety of honey products. We were welcomed to sample different types of honey, including unique blends like Leatherwood and Manuka honeys. The tasting experience was both educational and enjoyable, allowing us to appreciate the distinct flavours of each variety.

In addition to honey, Bruny Island Honey also carries a range of natural products, including

  • Creamed Honey
  • Honeycomb
  • Honey with Ginger
  • Honey Mustard
  • Honey Ice Cream
  • Honey Mead
  • Honey & Eucalyptus Drops
  • Honey Bath Bombs
  • Beeswax Candles
  • Skincare Products (e.g., Manuka Body Lotion, Lemon Myrtle Hand Cream, Lip Balm)
  • Beekeeping Books
  • Bee-themed Merchandise (e.g., Tea Towels, Tote Bags, Cushions, Fluffy Toy Bees)

One of the highlights was the observation hive, where we could watch bees at work. The display detailing the life cycle of bees was particularly fascinating, especially for the kids, who were captivated by the real-time view of the bees’ activities.

We also indulged in their honey ice cream, which was absolutely delicious, and kids also had honey lollipop. We also tried their creamed honey and other honey-infused products, all of which were delightful.

For families, there’s a lovely outdoor play area where children can have fun while adults explore the shop. It’s a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings.

If you’re on Bruny Island, I highly recommend stopping by Bruny Island Honey for a sweet and educational experience!

Bruny Island Ferry Ride – A Memorable Family Adventure

Posted on July 8, 2025 | Leave a comment

One of the most memorable parts of our Tasmania trip was the ferry ride to Bruny Island with SeaLink. The whole experience felt like the perfect start to a day of exploring. We booked our return car ticket online for around $46, which made things a bit easier—but we still had to wait in the queue for nearly an hour before boarding, as it does get quite busy. A little patience goes a long way here!

As soon as we drove onto the ferry and stepped out of the car, the kids were buzzing with excitement. It felt so different from our usual drives—open air, fresh breeze, and the excitement of heading to an island. The view from the ferry was absolutely stunning—calm blue waters, rolling hills in the distance, and seagulls soaring overhead.

We stood out on the deck, soaking in the peaceful scenery and cool sea air, chatting and taking in the moment. The kids were running from side to side, spotting boats, waving at other passengers, and just enjoying the whole vibe. It was such a wholesome moment for the family.

We were all excited knowing that once we arrived, a full day of island adventures awaited us—beautiful beaches, wildlife, and great food. The ferry ride really set the tone for a fun and relaxed day on Bruny Island.

If you’re visiting Tasmania with family, we highly recommend taking the time to do this ferry trip. It’s not just a way to get to the island—it’s part of the experience!

Family Stay at DoubleTree by Hilton : Hobart

Posted on July 4, 2025 | Leave a comment

Our recent family getaway to DoubleTree by Hilton was an absolute delight! From the moment we checked in, the little thoughtful touches made our stay so special. We were welcomed with a bottle of white sparkling wine and their signature warm cookies, which we couldn’t get enough of. We grabbed those cookies daily—they were always fresh, warm, and so satisfying.

The daily breakfast buffet was a highlight for all of us. The variety was incredible—fluffy pancakes, fresh pastries, crispy bacon, made-to-order omelettes, fresh fruits, cereals, and even healthier options like avocado and granola. It felt like starting every morning with a feast, and it was perfect for fuelling our day.

The kids practically lived in the pool, splashing around and having a blast, while we loved unwinding in the sauna. It was the perfect way to relax after a day of exploring. The sauna was clean, spacious, and added such a luxurious feel to our stay.

The location of the hotel was another big win. It’s close to the city, so we could easily walk to dinner each evening, exploring nearby restaurants and enjoying the lively atmosphere. The evening walks became a lovely part of our routine.

Our room was ideal for a family of four—spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped. After full days of fun, the cosy beds ensured a great night’s sleep. The staff were exceptional—always friendly, attentive, and ready to make our stay even better.

This trip was such a wonderful escape for us. It gave us the chance to slow down, connect as a family, and enjoy a mix of fun, relaxation, and delicious food. From the cookies to the breakfast buffet, the pool, sauna, and incredible service, DoubleTree by Hilton really made it feel like a home away from home.

If you’re planning a family getaway, we highly recommend this hotel. We’ll definitely be back to relive these amazing moments!
