D'Entrecasteaux Channel

  • Boat Sheds at Coningham Beach. Credit: Jason Charles Hill

D’Entrecasteaux Channel is a picturesque stretch of water separating lunawuni / Bruny Island from the Tasmanian mainland, with stunning coastal scenery, hidden gems and unique experiences, just 20 minutes drive south of Hobart.

Experience the charm of Tasmania’s south, where hidden beaches, cozy cafes, and world-class pinot await along the serene D’Entrecasteaux Channel.

Explore D’Entrecasteaux Channel

Outdoor enthusiasts shouldn’t miss the Snug Falls walk, a peaceful track through lush forest leading to a stunning waterfall cascading over a rocky cliff face. This short hike is a favourite for locals and visitors alike.

In Margate, the Kuuma Nature Sauna provides a distinctive blend of adventure and relaxation. This floating wood-fired sauna provides a unique experience for guests to unwind while soaking in the stunning coastal scenery.

Wine enthusiasts will appreciate Mewstone Wines in Flowerpot. Situated on the banks of the channel, this family-owned vineyard produces premium cool-climate wines. Their architecturally designed cellar door offers tastings accompanied by panoramic views of the water and surrounding landscape.

Whether you’re seeking relaxation, adventure, or a taste of Tasmania’s finest offerings, the D’Entrecasteaux Channel region is a destination worth exploring.

We acknowledge the Tasmanian Aboriginal people and their enduring custodianship of lutruwita / Tasmania. We honour 40,000 years of uninterrupted care, protection and belonging to these islands, before the invasion and colonisation of European settlement. As a destination that welcomes visitors to these lands, we acknowledge our responsibility to represent to our visitors, Tasmania’s deep and complex history, fully, respectfully and truthfully.

We acknowledge the Aboriginal people who continue to care for this country today. We pay our respects to their elders, past and present. We honour their stories, songs, art, and culture, and their aspirations for the future of their people and these lands. We respectfully ask that tourism be a part of that future.
