Mt Wellington + Bruny Island
A note from Mel Armstrong, owner of Versus St Kilda:
“I'm super excited about this trip. It's HEAVY on the gourmet-luxe element with some incredible scenery in a part of the world that appeals to me more than any other. Tassie.
In an attempt to make it as accessible as possible, it's a bit of a "choose your own adventure". I've included all of the basics and have a hefty list of add-ons which with probably make you squeal.
Keep scrolling to see the plan with all the inclusions followed by the list of extras and some suggested timing. You will be responsible for getting yourself to and from Hobart and your accommodation for the Friday night, should you wish to add that on.”
