However, there were limitations regarding the cooking tools at the lodge which impacted the ...read more food preparation. It would significantly enhance the experience if the team could have a toaster and a kettle to support guests' requirements for hot water and toast. I understand there may be solar power issues, but I believe this is surmountable with good batteries. Catering for 14 guests, particularly in the morning, would be easier for everyone if these appliances were available. Regardless, I definitely recommend this walk and TWC. It was my third big active walking holiday in Australia and I love it. It's a great way to meet new people and explore the wild.
The Tasmanian Walking Co Experience Choose to travel with Tasmanian Walking Company on your next adventure!
The Tasmanian Walking Company been running small group walking trips in Tasmania's National Parks for 30 years, using our own private accommodation. We have over 100 staff living in the state and are passionate about sharing our love and knowledge of Tasmania with visitors. We know and love what this State has to offer and we want to share it with you.
We're committed to buying local to reduce our carbon footprint and support Tasmanian suppliers. Tasmania is known for its pristine environment and protected National Parks, with over 40% of the state preserved. We use only local produce, including wine, and employ local builders and tradespeople when updating our lodges and infrastructure.
When you book with Tasmanian Walking Company, you'll walk with our guides and stay in our accommodation - we don't subcontract any components of our walking experiences. From the moment our drivers pick you up from your accommodation until the end of your trip, our guides will take care of you.
We believe that food should be a part of the experience, not an afterthought. That's why we have an in-house chef who designs all our meals and trains our team to prepare healthy and delicious dishes.
These unique qualities allow us to focus on every detail of your adventure and ensure that every aspect of your journey is of the highest standard.
Our accommodation is designed to provide true shelter - simple, sustainable, clean, and comfortable, while protecting and providing refuge. All of our land-based accommodations are architect-designed to sit gently on the natural environment and maximize natural assets such as sunlight and water collection.
We were the first operator entrusted by the Tasmanian Parks & Wildlife Service to build and operate accommodation within its National Parks and Wilderness World Heritage Area, and our exclusive-use accommodations provide light pack weight on all our adventures.
We offer private hut accommodation along the Overland Track, and our groups have exclusive use of Lady Eugenie on the Wineglass Bay Sail Walk. At the Bay of Fires, you'll have exclusive use of Forester Beach Camp and the award-winning Bay of Fires Lodge. The Bruny Island Long Weekend has a beautiful standing camp, and our Three Capes Lodge Walk guests have exclusive use of our Crescent Lodge and Cape Pillar Lodge - both with outstanding creature comforts and cutting-edge sustainable technologies.
We believe that accommodation is an important aspect of the walk, and it should be enjoyed, not endured!
