Pump-up your journey through Tasmania with a stay at Pumphouse Point
Located in Tasmania, Australia, Pumphouse Point is home to a breathtaking landscape and Lake St Clair. Dating back to the early Nineteenth century, when the lake was first visited by International guests, Pumphouse Point has been a muse as well as a destination to be enjoyed over previous centuries. Once home to tribes, hunters, visiting artists, explorers, and adventurers, the deepest lake in Australia has a characteristic history to compliment its scenery. Already an oasis for flora and fauna, the lake saw industrialisation as it made way for a 5-storey pump-house for water turbines and a hydro-power system, thanks to Tasmania’s Hydro Electricity Scheme. Today, Pumphouse Point is included on the World Heritage List and Tasmanian Heritage Register and has now opened up to the public for enjoyment for the very first time.
Accessible by the ever-trendy floatplane, allowing your experience to start even before you arrive, or helicopter transfer, both bookable locally, Pumphouse Point allows its visitors to spot its breathtaking backdrop from an all-encompassing viewpoint from the very beginning. During your visit, expect a range of weather conditions, depending on the season. Experiencing everything from stillness to storms, it’s best to plan ahead and pack accordingly. Pumphouse Point advises guests to gather warm layers, weatherproof outwear, and sensible footwear for explorations, just to ensure your comfort and safety is maximised during your stay.
