Lock Up & Leave: Splendid isolation in Tassie

This week’s Pick of the Trips is a chance to get away from it all without going too far. The Croft boutique cabin is set in quiet bushland on the outskirts of Richmond, in Southern Tasmania.

Set amidst peppermint and blue gums, the Croft is a modern cabin thoughtfully curated so you can make the most of the private and natural surrounds.

Hang out with the local wildlife, like wedge-tailed eagles, echidna, spotted quoll, kookaburras, ducks, blue tongue lizards, the odd wombat, multiple wallabies, possums and bird varieties, and apparently, Tasmanian devils.

And you can wine, dine and explore the sights of the historic village of Richmond, wineries of the Coal River Valley region,  and nearby Hobart city and the amazing Mona museum.
