Bay Of Fires Lodge Walk

The spectacular wilderness coastline known as the Bay of Fires, on the north east coast of Tasmania, offers a dramatic landscape, ecology and wildlife.

The Bay of Fires lodge walk is a 4 day / 3 night experience offering small groups of no more than 10 walkers the opportunity to explore this fascinating beach environment and diverse woodlands nearby.

The first night is spent at Forester Beach Camp, which has been designed as a demountable seasonal structure. Your second and third nights are at the multi-award winning Bay of Fires Lodge. There is plenty of time at leisure here to enjoy this stunning architectural and sustainably-built lodge. Here you may choose from activities such as kayaking, fishing and snorkelling, or reward yourself with a treatment at the Lodge Spa, surrounded by nature. Or simply relax and soak up the stunning scenery!

The finer details

Accommodation

Forester Beach Camp, where our first night is spent, is nestled in a protected sand dune swale behind a glorious white sand beach. This environmentally sustainable, demountable seasonal camp offers comfortable twin share rooms with timber floors and canvas roofs, private wash areas and composting toilets. Meals are enjoyed on the outdoor decks or as a picnic on the beach.

The award winning Bay of Fires Lodge is set on a hilltop, 40 metres above the sea, and surrounded by National Park. This ecologically aware building has been designed to blend in to and connect with the landscape. Here you will experience true communion with nature in accommodation that combines simplicity of design with comfort and warmth.

In the magnificent living area with its large timber deck and open fire, you'll enjoy delicious meals prepared with the freshest local produce, accompanied by fine Tasmanian wines. Solar power provides the lighting, while hot showers and comfortable hotel beds add a touch of luxury at the end of each day's activities. There is also a small library which is comfortable and cosy looking out over the ocean.
