Ettrick Rocks
Ettrick Rocks is a luxury retreat located on the west coast of Tasmania’s King Island, overlooking the Southern Ocean. The retreat is within walking distance of Ettrick Beach and Millers Bay, and you’re never too far from sampling the island’s famous cheese and dairy products, seafood, beef, honey, fruit and veggies at a local farm gate or eatery. A hire car is essential for travelling on the island. The retreat is located approximately a 15-minute drive from King Island Airport (KNS), however, flights are seasonal and guests are recommended to hire a private charter.
