Thousand Lakes Lodge

A boutique alpine wilderness lodge in the Central Highlands of Tasmania. It's a place like no other.

Almost otherworldly, it’s remote, barren but beautiful and unique. It’s a place that can be serene and silent yet in an instant; cold, raw and unfriendly but comfort is always close by.

1000 Lakes is in the Central Plateau World Heritage Area of Tasmania, to the West is the Walls of Jerusalem to the East the Great Lakes and is, as the name suggests the ideal base for exploring the 1000 lakes area

. Only 90 minutes from Launceston and 2 hours from Hobart, it’s a stunning drive which is accessible almost all year round.

Inside Thousand Lakes Lodge, warmth meets wilderness...

After a day in the highlands, there's nothing better than unwinding beside the fire with local wine, handcrafted furnishings, and the quiet hum of nature beyond the windows.

It’s a retreat designed for rest as well as a deep sense of stillness.

Always great to welcome a visitor to the Plateau! 😍

Echidnas - along with other wildlife - are often spotted wandering the open plains around the lodge, unhurried and completely at home in the highlands.

It's a highlight of many visitors spotting some of our wilderness friends so be sure to pack your camera when visiting.

Our Story

Thousand Lakes Lodge is the brainchild of former racing driver, Marcos Ambrose, who converted an abandoned Antarctic expedition training base camp into a luxury wilderness lodge, situated within a world heritage area in Tasmania's Central Highlands. In 2018 the lodge won the 3rd place among Lonely Planet's "top ten best new places to stay in the world."

The remoteness challenges the lodge to be creative with its food and drinks services, and the accommodation setup is imaginative due to its unconventional origin, and both aspects have met with most of our guests’ approval; the 9-room lodge has consistently received tremendous reviews on TripAdvisor since opening in 2016.

'Wilderness' being the main draw at our location, most guests venture out on foot or on eBikes for day activities, with a picnic lunch. They chance to see wombats, quoll, Tasmanian devils, wallabies and possums, usually on their way to one of the heritage fishing huts by one of the nearby lakes.
