Welcome to your private island escape!
On Picnic Island, you will have the opportunity to disconnect from your day-to-day—and reconnect to something extraordinary.


Discover unforgettable.
We believe that true luxury isn’t about escaping nature—it’s about finding our place within it. Picnic Island is operated almost entirely off-grid, in harmony with the elements, wildlife, and rhythms that dictate our pace of life.
Island life isn’t for everyone. But if you have found your way here, it’s probably for you.
Off-grid living is…

slow
Subtle, like the changing of the seasons, life moves more slowly once you step onto Picnic Island. You may notice a strong urge to power down your devices, sit quietly with a cup of coffee or glass of wine, and cancel all your plans. Relax, and enjoy the slowness. That’s quiet luxury helping to reset your nervous system.

surprising
Tasmania’s East Coast is known for its mild weather, but the climate is also unpredictable. The elements are in charge here; we recommend coming prepared for cold, wind, rain, and sun. Some experiences, as well as boat transfers to and from the island, may need to be rescheduled or canceled. Embrace the surprises.

sustainable
We work with nature and the elements to source the necessary power (solar), water (rain catchment), and ingredients (Tassie local whenever possible) to make your stay unforgettable. As our guest, you can be a partner in our sustainability efforts by being mindful of these precious resources and following all guidelines for wildlife encounters.
Discover luxury. Discover island life.
