1-week travel with kids - August/September
Hello brains trust,
I've booked for our family (2 adults + 2 kids aged 10 and 8) our first trip to Tasmania. We'll be flying in Sunday 30 August and out Sunday 6 September. We know this won't be our last or only trip to Tasmania so we're not looking to cram everything in and would prefer to just focus on a couple of areas. Our preference is to stay in the same hotel as a base for exploring the area.
My rough plan at the moment is something like:
1 night Hobart
2 nights somewhere along the north-west coast
2 nights Cradle Mountain
2 nights Hobart
Our must-dos in the north west are Cradle Mountain and Hellyer's Road Distillery. It seems like we are going to have the best experience of Cradle Mountain if we stay close by which is why I'm looking at the 2-nights there.
Along the north-west coast I was looking at staying in Burnie, but am open to considering other options if there is a better place to base ourselves for those 2 nights.
I'd welcome any thoughts or suggestions anyone is willing to share!
