25.01.2022 Post iso travel checklist... Somewhere wild, luscious, unpopulated and unique Somewhere to breathe the cleanest air in the world ... Somewhere to feel alive again with fresh morning swims and cosy nights by the fire Somewhere like... Porky Beach Retreat

23.01.2022 Celebrating World Animal Day, it seems like a good time to mention how we need to protect and preserve all creatures great and small. King Island has a bustling abundance of wildlife and bird life, with two, on the critically endangered species. We are so lucky to boast rare and endemic species, including Little Penguins, the Rare Orange Bellied Parrot and the Fairy Wren. Porky Beach Retreat also has a very special family of Echidnas, that like to hang with us. ... The stunning Wedge Tailed Eagle photo from Tasmania was taken by photographer @camblakephotography, shows its prowess. On King Island our young Sea Eagles can be mistaken for a Wedge Eagle, as their feathers are brown but turn white as they mature. What’s your favourite animal? Ohh and I couldn’t go past the day without mentioning some special fur babies @camblakephotography @kingislandescapes

10.01.2022 As inspired by the Make Yourself At Home campaign by tourism @tasmania we have compiled a list of our favourite unique Tassie Airbnb’s on our bucket list to support. We love being inspired by how our fellow tour operators create authentic stays for their guests, showcasing Tassie’s true down to earth hospitality and each of their unique ways of sharing their special slice of paradise with travellers. We have been humbled by the support we have received from local King Islan...ders and our big island Tassie neighbours. In these times of the unknown of when state borders will reopen, it is our intrastate bookings we depend on the most to keep our heads above water. The need to support small local businesses is greater than ever! We all depend on it In no particular order here are a few of our top picks!
