Xingzhewuyuanfujie: Everything was great except for the Wi-Fi. There was no signal for mobile data either, so I had to walk about 500 meters across the road to the supermarket parking lot just to get my phone to work properly.

Traci13: Lovely location, great view of the sea, could wake up seeing such a lovely view was a bonus. Was given a upper floor, probably why we could get such a nice view, but was a struggle as we had two large luggage. Had a really nice bath tub, kitchen was sufficient, although the dish sponge and cloth were missing. We're promptly provided once informed.

Guest User: While I selected pay at hotel in the booking of two nights, they immediately charged my credit card for one night. The 2nd night was charged the night prior to check in. When I checked credit card transactions, they over-charged charged 3.74. I contacted them, they then provided a receipt indicating credit card charge and agreed to refund. Be careful to check your credit card transaction. The villa location is far from sea, no chance to watch penguin at night. I asked them where I can see penguin, they asked me to join tour.

怡然: You can park right next to the house. The house itself is spacious and very comfortable, with heating in the kitchen, living room, bathroom, and both bedrooms. The bathroom even has a kiddie tub and a washing machine, so clothes dry super fast with the heater after washing. There are tables and chairs in both the front and back yards, perfect for chatting or stargazing. We missed out on booking a penguin tour, but the landlady told us that penguins actually come ashore all along the coast from the lobster shack to the blowhole. We waited at the lobster shack parking lot and were so thrilled to actually see penguins!

Each season has its own unique charm. 🌊 Wineglass Bay Ranked among the top ten most beautiful beaches in the world, the crescent-shaped pure white beach is embedded in a blue bay. The seawater transitions from light blue to deep blue, with mountains and sea embracing each other, offering a wide and healing view. Hiking to the lookout for a panoramic view is the best way to experience it. You can see the blue sea, white sand, and layered mountains all at once. You can also stroll on the beach, step on the fine white sand, and feel the gentle sea breeze for a perfect vibe. 🐧 Bicheno A gentle, niche coastal town, best known for the little penguins that return to their nests at night. In the evening, groups of little penguins waddle ashore to their nests, which is adorable and a unique, healing experience. During the day, you can visit the blowhole by the sea, where waves hitting the rocks create a natural wonder. Walking along the coastal boardwalk is super relaxing. 🎨 Sheffield (Town of Murals) A fairy-tale town hidden in the mountains.

The road conditions are smooth and friendly, suitable for both sedans and SUVs. You can enjoy the mountain and sea scenery along the way for free and stop whenever you want, which is super free. Public transport has few schedules and long intervals, and attractions are scattered, so it is not suitable for independent travel. Beginners are advised to rent a car in advance and have an international driving permit ready.

The light is soft, and the mountain and sea atmosphere is fully maximized. ⚠️ Practical Tips & Avoiding Pitfalls 1. The temperature difference between day and night in Tasmania is huge. Even if you travel in summer, you must bring a thick windbreaker, as the weather in the mountains is changeable. 2. You need to purchase a park pass to enter national parks. Preparing it in advance will save you trouble. 3. The Southern Lights depend entirely on the weather. It is recommended to reserve 2–3 nights for observation to increase the success rate of chasing the lights. 4. The island loop distance is long. Plan your gas stations in advance, as the distance between gas stations in remote areas is large. 5. Slow down in wildlife areas and do not feed or touch wild animals at will. 6. The UV rays by the sea and in the mountains are very strong. Use sunscreen all year round to avoid sunburn. 🍤 Must-Try Tasmanian Delicacies Wrapped by the sea and mountains, Tasmanian food has a natural, fresh taste! ✔️ Tasmanian Oysters: Top-tier quality globally, fresh and sweet without any fishy taste, freshly shucked and eaten, super delicious. ✔️ Deep-sea Salmon and Lobster: Firm meat, great value for money. ✔️ Local Cherries and Raspberries: Rich fruit aroma, full of juice. ✔️ Authentic Farm Cheese and Handmade Yogurt: Rich taste, a must-try niche delicacy.

When the Southern Lights dance gracefully in the night sky, when fierce waves crash against jagged reefs, when the primeval rainforest is filled with ancient fragrances, you will understand that words can hardly capture the grandeur of nature. Welcome to Tasmania, let's capture these breathtaking moments together. 01 Nighttime Secrets When night falls, everything in Tasmania becomes wild. This is one of the best places in the world to witness the mysterious Southern Lights, especially in winter, when the aurora paints a colorful curtain across the sky, dreamlike and magical. Near the coastline, blue bioluminescent creatures light up the sea surface, and looking up, the night sky, almost free of light pollution, is filled with stars. You can also join nighttime tours at places like Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, and East Coast Natureworld, which are great opportunities to watch Tasmanian devils feeding. 02 Natural Sanctuary: Maria Island Maria Island once bore the marks of convict and industrial history, but now only pure nature remains. The entire island is protected as a national park, where the "traffic" consists of abundant wildlife—herds of wombats, pademelons, Cape Barren geese, and Tasmanian devils. The Fossil Cliffs on the island are, without exaggeration, made up of millions of prehistoric fossils, while the Painted Cliffs are a masterpiece of sandstone. A narrow sandy isthmus connects these wonders. 03 Rock Wonders Tasmania is full of geological marvels, many of which are located in Tasman National Park, just over an hour’s drive from Hobart. You can stroll along the geometrically patterned Tessellated Pavement at Eaglehawk Neck, then walk a few kilometers further to the fissure of Tasman Arch. Another rock arch, Mars Bluff, rises from the beach on Bruny Island. Along the Three Capes Track, you can see Australia’s highest sea cliffs, and from the top of Cape Hauy, overlook the Totem Pole, a slender sea stack famous among climbers. 04 Cool Temperate Rainforest Temperate rainforests are found only in a few places worldwide, and cool temperate rainforests with high altitude and rainfall are even rarer. Australia’s largest (and one of the world’s top two) cool temperate rainforests are located in the takayna/Tarkine wilderness in northwest Tasmania. Take a walk in Corinna beneath giant myrtle beeches, pass ancient Huon pines, cruise along the Pieman and Arthur Rivers, floating amidst forest reflections like a painting. The forest’s tranquility turns to roar at the coast, where you can feel the thunder of the Southern Ocean at the Edge of the World or in small towns like Marrawah and Couta Rocks. 05 Wildlife Encounters When you think of Tasmania, do you think of the little devils? They are just one of many fascinating species here. At Adventure Bay on Bruny Island, you might encounter the rare white pademelon; at campsites along the South Coast Track, spotted-tailed quolls often appear. Giant freshwater lobsters inhabit northern rivers; if you take a light plane to remote Melaleuca, you can spot the world’s rare Orange-bellied Parrot, making for an unforgettable pilgrimage. For wild Tasmanian devils, head to Maria Island. Other endemic species include the Forty-spotted Pardalote, dusky antechinus, and Tasmanian pademelon. 06 Rainbow Magic The fleeting and brilliant rainbow often decorates Tasmania’s skies. Here you’ll find the “magical formula” for rainbows: clear skies, suitable clouds, a low sun, and ideal latitude. Even more magical, you can witness not only ordinary single rainbows but also the rare double and triple rainbow phenomena. 07 Take a Deep Breath When you arrive in Tasmania, be sure to pause and take a deep breath. If the air feels exceptionally fresh, it’s no illusion. Scientists at the Kannaook/Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station have analyzed the air at Tasmania’s northwest tip for over 40 years and consider it the cleanest air in the world. It nourishes tropical rainforests, mountains, and farms, which in turn produce goods as fresh as the air itself. 📷 Photos / © Tourism Tasmania, Andrew Chisholm, Simon Kruit, Stu Gibson, Flow Mountain Bike, Jess Bonde, Stu Gibson, Tourism Australia, Rob Burnett, Stu Gibson, Luke Tscharke, Kraig Carlstrom

So many people have asked where this is in Sydney! 📍It's not in the city! It's at Bombo Headland, north of Kiama. It takes about 1 hour 40 mins to 2 hours to drive south from Sydney city center. This was once an abandoned quarry. Millions of years ago, 🌋volcanic eruptions created this entire area of black hexagonal basalt columns. The waves have carved out a massive natural stone arch, which is what everyone calls the Giant's Door/Gate of God. It's definitely a top-tier Australian coastal photo spot📸 🚗How to get there? 1. Driving is the best option! Navigate directly to "Bombo Headland Carpark." Parking is free 🅿️, but spots are limited, so try to arrive early on weekends and during sunset! Take the M1 highway south, exit at Kiama Downs, and you'll be there in a few minutes~ 2. Public transport works too! Take the South Coast Line train from Sydney Central Station to Bombo Station. It's an 800-meter walk (about 10–12 minutes) from the station to the headland. No need to go to the main Kiama station! ⚠️Quick tip: Cell signal is weak in some coastal areas, so remember to download offline maps before you leave 🗺️ 🌋What to see there? · The Giant Door main arch is the most popular giant stone gate! Seawater flows through the archway 🌊 But! Never walk underneath the arch! At high tide, waves can rush in instantly, which is extremely dangerous! You should take photos from the cliffside platform above to get that classic viral shot 📸 · The entire cluster of basalt columns looks as neat as if it were man-made, but it was actually formed naturally by cooling volcanic rock! The ground underfoot is uneven, with loose rocks and reefs everywhere. · Boneyard Beach features stretches of scattered black rocks. The waves crashing against the rocks create a great atmosphere, and the spray is very powerful when it's windy 💨 · This is also an excellent spot for sunrise! It's less crowded in the early morning with soft light, and many landscape photographers come specifically to shoot the sunrise and the Milky Way 🌌 📸Photo spots & best time 1. Golden hour: 1–1.5 hours before sunset! The warm golden sunlight hitting the black rocks creates a strong contrast with the deep blue sea 🌅 Sunrise is the second best, and cloudy days also have great texture, with the black rocks appearing even deeper in color. 2. Spot 1, Classic Giant's Door: Shoot down at the arch and the sea from the cliff-top trail lookout. This is the most popular angle online! 3. Spot 2, Boneyard Beach: Eye-level view of the basalt columns. Stand on the columns for atmospheric portraits. 4. Spot 3, Far end of the headland: Panoramic view of the entire coastline, the sea + the black stone forest. ✨Must check the tide chart! The waves through the arch are incredibly powerful and stunning at high tide; stay far away from the coast during high tides and stormy weather! You can get closer to some of the columns at low tide, but it's still not recommended to approach the archway. ⚠️Important safety tips! Most important! 1. The ground is all volcanic rock, which is extremely slippery when wet from seawater. You must wear non-slip sneakers! No flip-flops or sandals! 2. Do not climb over fences! There is no protection at the cliff edge, and the strong sea breeze makes it easy to slip. Do not stand at the very edge of the cliff to take photos. 3. Stay away from the area under the arch and low-lying reefs during high tide, strong winds, and rough seas; waves can wash up silently! 4. There are no shops or kiosks here, only simple public restrooms. Bring your own water and snacks. 5. Dogs are allowed, and they can be off-leash in the beach area. 🗓Day trip itinerary suggestion! Depart from Sydney → Bombo Giant's Door (1.5–2 hours for sightseeing and photos) → Drive a few minutes to the town of Kiama to check out the Blowhole and lighthouse, and have a light meal or coffee on the main street ☕️ Return to Sydney in the evening~
