"You’ll feel as though you’ve traveled to the ends of the earth upon arrival at Pumphouse Point, a wilderness resort set in a 1940s hydroelectric plant along the banks of Lake St. Clair, an under-the-radar UNESCO World Heritage Site that is also Australia’s deepest lake. The 18 rooms in both the Shorehouse and Pumphouse, located at the tip of a nearly 800-foot-long jetty in the water,are spare yet comfortable with minimalist furnishings, black-tiled baths, and large picture windows, some with panoramic views of the lake or surrounding fields and mountains. Instead of a traditional restaurant, the hotel offers a shared dinner table where guests are invited to mingle with their fellow occupants over two-course set menus featuring predominantly Tasmanian-produced ingredients, lending the property a familial atmosphere here.If privacy is what you’re after, splurge on the chic glass-walled retreat in the forest, which comes with its own kitchenette and freestanding fireplace."
