Maria Island Weekend Escape

Ride a mountain bike* around Maria Island, meet some of the native birds and animals, then pause to enjoy your pre-prepared gourmet lunch box that includes a bottle of Darlington wine grown just down the road at Orford.

And this after a restful night's sleep at Triabunna Cabin and Caravan Park, and a continental breakfast at the Gallery Art Space, who also prepare your lunch box, before you board the ferry to Maria Island.

And when you return, enjoy a pub meal by a roaring log fire at the award winning Spring Bay Hotel conveniently located just 50 metres from the ferry wharf**.

And after all this, relax in the knowledge that your cosy cabin with its comfortable bed is waiting for you.

All for just $145 per person twin share.

Freycinet National Park Visitors Centre, The Ugly Duck Out at Swansea and Scorchers by the River at Orford are outlets for Vestal water. Vestal water is dedicated to reducing the huge environmental impact of the bottled water industry. Another environmental upside of the Vestal water system is that the water is from rain water storage and not ground water from a spring and has zero carbon miles.

At the National Park ambient, chilled or sparkling costs $1 a fill and $5 for 5 litres plus (great for campers). Aluminium reusable bottles are also available for purchase for customers without bottles. These come with two fills, one upon purchase and a voucher to refill later.

To introduce Vestal water to their guests The Ugly Duck Out are offering a free stainless steel bottle with the purchase of a coffee or tea and the presentation of this voucher. Only 50 bottles are available, so be quick. In the future. the stainless steel Vestal / TUDO bottle entitles the owner to a free water refill with the purchase of a coffee or tea.The Ugly Duck Out have also introduced the sparkling water into their gluten-free batter, mixed the water with syrups and organic ice cream for Spiders, and used it to create S.N.A.S (sensational non alcoholic spritas).

We're open late summer hours from 9.00 - 5.30 Monday - Friday, then 9.00 till 1.30 on Saturdays and Sundays.

Our Freycinet Paddle tours operate all year round. During Summer our tours our tours depart in the Morning (8:30am) and Twilight (varies between 4:00pm and 5:00pm).

We time our tours to make the most of the calmer seas and better weather. Therefore, we do not generally offer a tour in the middle of the afternoon as this part of the day is typically more windy.
