Featured in The Gold List 2019 Issue of Conde Nast Traveller the influential publication has pointed to the wave of savvy travellers obsessing over Tasmania’s wilderness lodges, describing Pumphouse Point as “every travellers fantasy”.

Of the article that begins with the rather cheeky line “Hasn’t the backwoods bogan come a long way?”  our Managing Director and Tasmanian Tourism trailblazer Simon Currant said, “Tasmania is so far back, we’re in front”.

AND ENTERS TASMANIAN TOURISM HALL OF FAME

The team at Pumphouse Point is incredibly proud to announce that we have won GOLD in the Unique Accommodation category and entered into the Tasmanian Tourism Hall of Fame .

The Tourism Industry Council Tasmania’s Tasmanian Tourism Awards recognises the state’s outstanding operators, with the winners going on to be finalists in the 2018 Qantas Australian Tourism Awards, to be announced at Cataract Gorge in March next 2019.

The awards celebrate and encourage professionalism, sustainability and innovation in tourism, whilst also providing a benchmark for industry best practice.

TICT chief executive Luke Martin said of the awards  “These awards are notoriously difficult to enter and even harder to win, with nominees expected to submit a 12,000-word entry before a site visit and judging.”

We’d like to offer a sincere thanks to every person who has contributed to and supported Pumphouse Point on this journey and congratulate silver medallists The Rustic Hut Bush Retreat  on their fantastic efforts.

It has been an exciting start to the week for Pumphouse Point – being named among the top 50 hotels in Australia in Gourmet Traveller’s 2018 Australian Hotel Guide as well as receiving Best of State Award for Commercial Design at the Australian Interior Design Awards.

Published with the June issue of Gourmet Traveller, Pumphouse Point has been included in the 2018 Gourmet Traveller Australian Hotel Guide featuring the nation’s top 50 hotels.

Sarah Oakes, Gourmet Traveller‘s editor, has congratulated all 50 top hotels featured in Australia’s only national hotel guide. “We’re seeing more hotels championing local makers and produce and thinking hard about how to connect guests with the neighbourhood,” she said.

The guide is produced by a team of reviewers who check in unannounced and pay their own way. Reviewers and editors compare their experiences to choose the nation’s top 50 hotels.

“Our aim isn’t just to sell a room for the night, we want to provide a memorable, wilderness experience and the team up there have been doing a fantastic job and receiving another accolade is a testament to their great work.” Simon Currant, developer of Pumphouse Point said. “With such a high calibre of Tourism experiences in Australia, especially here in Tasmania, it brings us great pride to be included.

The 15th annual Australian Interior Design Awards have also just been presented at a gala celebration in Sydney, with more than 500 of Australia’s most esteemed interior design and architecture practitioners and professionals in attendance. Australian Interior Design Awards is Australia’s foremost design awards program.

The new Shorehouse Dining Room picked up the Best of State Award for Commercial Design in Tasmania with fantastic work from Tasmanian firm Jaws Interiors.

“The Shorehouse Dining Room extension came as a result of the need for more ‘do nothing’ space at Pumphouse Point and it was wonderful to be able to work with Jaws Interiors and many other local artisans and designers.” said Mr. Currant.
