Captain’s Rest ought to be a destination in itself in Tasmania. It has been created by an artist and is the most beautiful, romantic, moody, luxurious place I have ever stayed. Everything we did here felt gilded in a kind of golden patina. We bought provisions and cooked all our meals in. We missed the train trip and the river cruise (both of which I’m sure are wonderful), because we didn’t want to leave this place. In short, we fell in love.
