Set just 800 metres offshore from Coles Bay, Picnic Island is a rare private island retreat where complete seclusion meets thoughtful, all-inclusive luxury.
Reimagined for 2026, the island offers an intimate escape shaped by nature, design, and a deep respect for its surroundings.
Framed by the dramatic coastline of Tasmania’s east and moments from Freycinet National Park, Picnic Island offers a level of privacy rarely found in modern luxury travel. With only 100 nights available each year, the experience is deliberately limited, allowing guests to fully disconnect and settle into the quiet rhythm of island life. Days unfold slowly, guided by personal preference, whether exploring the surrounding marine environment, enjoying curated food and wine, or simply observing the resident Little Penguin colony at dusk.

Picnic Island operates entirely off-grid, powered by advanced solar systems and supported by rainwater collection. The experience is intentionally limited to preserve the island’s delicate ecosystem, including its protected seabird sanctuary. Partnerships with local artisans, producers, and conservation experts further reinforce a commitment to low-impact, high-value travel.

- Rate: From $16,000 per night (all-inclusive)

Guests arrive via private transfer from Hobart to Coles Bay, followed by a short journey across the water aboard Picnic Island’s custom-built luxury vessel. Designed for both comfort and immersion, the transfer itself forms part of the experience, offering a seamless introduction to the island.
