The Location
This Tasmanian city is picturesque and reflects its colonial history, you can also see Victorian and Georgian influences mixed in with the more modern architecture, which all adds to the overall charm of the place. Here, you can enjoy all the facilities of modern city living with excellent schools and affordable housing, whilst being free of traffic and large commutes.
And ask any Australian, Tasmania is known for its beautiful fresh produce and seafood, and this city makes the most of this reputation, attracting "foodies" with its restaurants and cafes.
The temperate climate and four distinct seasons - including gloriously warmsummers without the oppressive humidity or heat,and cool winters - mean the region has perfect wine growing conditions and this is reflected in the excellent wines produced, with lots of little boutique wineries.
Easily accessible, there is a local airport and short daily flights to Melbourne and Sydney, making connections to international flights really easy.
