GRINDELWALD

SMALL PHOTO & INFORMATION PAGE

GRINDELWALD is a modern, imitation Swiss resort and estate. The resort is both a holiday village with every convenience, plus a golf course, a pond with pedal boats, shops and a restaurant. The estate has houses built in a Swiss style. It is just north of Launceston, so a luxurious stay here can include all the facilities of Tasmania's second largest city, which is replete with other accommodation.

From Grindelwald you are 5 minutes from TAMAR ISLAND, 10 minutes from TREVALLYN, TASMANIA ZOO and EXETER and 15 minutes from LAUNCESTON City and CATARACT GORGE.

You are 30 minutes from BEACONSFIELD and BEAUTY POINT and 50 minutes from GREENS BEACH and the NARAWNTAPU National Park, (Badgers Beach end) and GEORGE TOWN. Nearby places are described in the TAMAR VALLEY REGION page.
