Here’s a Snippet of the Plan . . .

DIVE INTO HISTORY

Step inside your favourite Instagram cottages, for private viewings that answer all your questions. Karen and Lindy will open Petit Chateau and Blackbird Cottage to you, and walk you through the renovations, history of their homes and design choices they made. You’ll get to see the details up close and personal and glean ideas and information for your own designs.

Spend hours soaking up the historic village of Oatlands, the pretty streets of Battery Point and bustling Salamanca. Leisurely outings will give you time to stop, snap that Instaworthy pic, and take in each area.

And, of course, we’ll go behind the scenes at a few of the finest Georgian colonial residences in Hobart, marvel at the architecture and learn about the history.

CURATED ACTIVITIES

We’ll have full days dedicated to treasure hunting, visiting beloved vintage and antique spots. You’ll have plenty of time to wander through each shop, savoring the eye candy and choosing your favorite finds before we hop onto our private tour bus and head off to the next charming stop.

Throughout our time together, you’ll savor the best of Tasmania’s renowned food and wine scene. Karen and Lindy have carefully curated a selection of the island’s most delightful eateries, where each meal is an experience in itself. To celebrate our journey, we’ll enjoy a beautifully themed dinner, adding a touch of elegance and camaraderie to our retreat. Mornings are for indulging in leisurely French-inspired café breakfasts with the group, or to embrace a slow start, easing into the day before our adventures unfold.

We’ll spend a delightful afternoon around the craft table, sharing laughter and sisterhood as Lindy guides you in creating a one-of-a-kind piece from carefully chosen vintage materials. It’s a hands-on experience, crafting something beautiful while making memories together.

At the close of each day, unwind with your favorite drink in hand, surrounded by kindred spirits, as we reminisce about our shared adventures and soak in the magic of our time together.
