Burnie Discount Bookings with Tourism TAS

Great beaches plus good walks along beaches. A walking track is currently being put down over old railway line and extends along beach area. Great down town area with beach side bars and restaurants. Burnie is an ideal base to explore Stanley and other seaside areas. Good base to go to Dove Lake and other wilderness areas. Dove Lake is 112km away

Great location for day trips along the Bass Highway, to Cradle Mountain and Leven Canyon. It was difficult to find street maps of Burnie and tourist attractions in Burnie, had to google a lot. Good shopping centre.

Burnie is a town worth visiting…close to other nice areas lovely beach front, many shops, even though long weekend places open….shop owners were helpful…and friendly….good walking into and around town. Places to visit outside of Burnie.

I went to Burnie for work. That said, it offers reasonable facilities as a setting-off point for tourism destinations like Cradle Mountain and Stanley. The town itself is not really a tourist destination but is reasonably attractive to be in for other purposes. There are a few good places to eat, good supermarkets, and basic services offices including Service Tasmania and RACT. The other thing to know about Burnie is that it is seriously hilly. This offers opportunities for exercise up and down the tracks and roads, and for spectacular views from some locations. Burnie Airport is actually formally called Burnie-Wynyard Airport and is actually at Wynyard, an easy 20 min drive away. They have basic facilities at the airport including hire-car desks. The alternative airport is Devonport, which is a bit bigger and has a "regional" Qantas lounge, but it is 48km from Burnie, on a road that is double lane most of the way.

Accommodation was perfect, not only was it across the road from the beach, they had a swimming pool at our accommodation. There is cinema in Burnie a museum and an art museum and a great promenade for beach front walking all of which we did. It was perfect to take my teenage grand children to. The grandies loved Dave's noodlebox. However they had every popular teen food outlet. We had the best of both the beach and the mountains.

Proximity to other natural sights and ocean views. Town has all the services used to in a city. Great roads and signage. Interesting history. Close to own airport with flights to/from Melbourne.
