Southport Hotel

-

 


Southport Hotel is located in Southport, approximately 96km South of Hobart.

It forms part of the Caravan Park complex and the restaurant overlooks the beautiful bushy grounds of the park.

The pub-style meals served in the restaurant are hearty and generous.

With two wood fires to warm the bar and restaurant, the atmosphere is cosy and welcoming.

The wood fire in the restaurant is surrounded by two lounges, which make for the perfect area to relax and enjoy a drink.

We started off our dinner with some cheesy garlic bread. The bread melted in our mouths, but still had a good amount of crispiness.

For mains we had chicken schnitzel and chips, topped with prawns, scallops and a garlic sauce.

The prawns and scallops were plump and juicy and the garlic sauce was absolutely amazing. It was buttery without being oily and had lots of garlic (which we love!).

We also had grilled chicken breast with bacon, garlic sauce and vegetables.

The grilled chicken was thick, yet succulent and the vegetables were tasty and perfectly cooked. The potatoes were soft and helped soak up the sauce.

The sauce was creamier than the sauce that accompanied the chicken schnitzel, but equally amazing.

On another occasion we had beef schnitzel topped with the same garlic seafood topper as the chicken schnitzel.

The beef was tender (no chewiness at all!) and the crispy panko outer shell was golden and crunchy.

Garlic prawns with rice, chips and salad was the other meal we indulged in.

The prawns were large and plump and the buttery garlic sauce was to die for. The salad was fresh while adding a bit of texture to the dish.

We only managed to fit dessert in on one occasion (the main meals are that big!) so we decided on sticky date pudding and a chocolate sundae.

Both desserts were simple but delicious. The sticky date pudding was moist and rich.

We recommend you head to Southport Hotel to experience the warm hospitality, huge portions and amazing garlic sauce!

  Drift Away Organic Shack is a peaceful retreat for two located in Police Point, approximately 73km south of Hobart. Ideal for a couple, this cute studio has stunning views of the Huon River. The shack is located on the owner's residential property, but as the main house is set well behind the shack, the house and its inhabitants go unnoticed. The idea with this shack is to relax - read a book, drink in the view, cook a meal on the outdoor fire pit or enjoy a relaxing bath in the...........drumroll.............outdoor tub. Or, of course, do all of the above! The bushland setting offers privacy and the local birdlife creates a gorgeous natural soundtrack. The shack itself has a double bed, small kitchenette with mini fridge, shower, couch, an outdoor setting for the deck, an outdoor setting near the fire pit and an outdoor bath. Jemma, the friendly and welcoming owner, provides freshly laid eggs from the resident hens, milk, tea, coffee, a selection of jams, vegemite, butter, a fre...

Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave

 Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave PUFF-O-METRE   THEN OVERVIEW This is a beautiful day walk that follows some rugged coast line, stunning views and ends at a gorgeous beach with huge dunes. It starts at a large carpark, but it needs to be as this area is a very popular location. The carpark has a lovely viewing platform for some of the coastal cliffs. It also has shelter and public toilets available. Before setting off towards Crescent Bay, it's worth the ten minute delay to head down the staircase to enjoy the view at the Remarkable Cave. It's a bit like a horizontal blowhole however it's far more open therefore you don't get the big burst of water upwards. With that done, it's time to head along the other track towards Crescent Bay. This track is a bit up and down however the elevation doesn't change more than 20m so at no stage does it feel overwhelming. The track is even wide/smooth enough to be able to take off-road prams to the beach. Along th...
