Islington made Top 10 and Top Tasmanian destination over all categories.


Pinot Noir obsession


The pride and passion that creates the eventually spectacular product flowing from Tasmanian vineyards has started an obsession with us at Islington. Tasmanian wine is mostly unavailable anywhere else in the country, our Pinot Noir list is mostly unavailable anywhere!

‘I wanted the largest range of vintage and cellar release Tasmanian Pinot Noir on a wine list anywhere, and we may be almost there!’ - Thomas Barker, GM

Some of Australia’s finest Pinot Noirs have their provenance on the island state of Tasmania. Without a hint of braggadocio Tassie’s friendly, plain speaking vineyard owners, wine makers and cellar door folk will tell you themselves. But if you need more evidence of Tasmania’s wine kudos you could soak this up: Bay of Fires Pinot Noir was also awarded the ‘Best Red Wine’ trophy at the National Wine Show of Australia in November 2010. This was the first time a pinot noir has won the award.

Come and experience some Tasmanian history in the making next to a cosy Islington fire, it's drinking perfectly now!


It's the little things...


Just a reminder that Islington now has complimentary WiFi in all rooms – guest rooms as well as all lounge areas.

Picnic breakfast for that 6am flight...

We understand that early morning flight from Hobart is no fun at all. Just let us know before bed that you’ll be heading out early and we’ll make sure you are all ready to go including a scrumptious Islington Kitchen Picnic Breakfast.

You’ll never have to suffer airline eggs again.
