Pumphouse Point at Lake St. Clair, Tasmanien, Australia

EIGHTEEN ROOMS, ACROSS TWO HERITAGE  BUILDINGS, IN THE MIDDLE OF TASMANIA’S PRISTINE WILDERNESS

The story of Pumphouse Point begins twenty thousand years ago, when the earth is frozen over. A rumbling glacier grinds down an alpine landscape, forging a steep ravine in its wake. Filling with melted snow and freezing rain, the deepest lake in Australia is born. Many of the spectacular glacial features of the region are visible from Pumphouse Point.

The two iconic industrial buildings, once operating as a Hydro-Electric station, quietly gaze at one another; “The Pumphouse”, over the water, and “The Shorehouse”, over the land.The rooms themselves are less important here; think of it more like a lodge. It’s about connecting to the wilderness, so you won’t see art on the walls or access to netflix.
