Murdunna: Tastings, local produce and hiking

When staying in Murdunna, you can focus on different things: tastings, Tasmanian produce, a break with children or a challenging hike. The local places to visit serve different purposes. First deciding whether food and drink, practical supplies, a break or exercise matters most to you can help you plan your trip more purposefully and tailor your hotel search to the reason for your visit.

Tastings and Tasmanian produce

The Dunalley Bay Distillery Beachfront Tasting Hut is located at 3530 Arthur Highway in Murdunna. It is a waterside café and a spirits shop; tastings of premium gin, whisky and rum are also offered there. This lets you decide whether the café, spirits shop or a tasting is your main priority.

The Murdunna Roadhouse has a different focus. It sells fuel and everyday essentials, while also showcasing local Tasmanian products such as seafood, honey, cheese and jams. This brings practical supplies and a regional connection together. The product range can change, so consider the items mentioned as examples rather than a fixed selection available on every visit. The local focus is a useful guide if you are interested in Tasmanian produce.

If you specifically want to buy honey, Tasman Honey has a factory outlet at 49 Hylands Road in Murdunna. Tasman Honey asks visitors to call ahead, so take this request into account when planning your visit. This distinguishes the factory outlet from the mention of honey at the Roadhouse: there, honey is one of the local products on display, while Tasman Honey explicitly offers a place to buy honey. Tasman Honey’s request is to call before visiting; at the Roadhouse, by contrast, the product selection may change.

A break or a challenging hike

Jackson Park is a rest area where children can play. If you are travelling with children and want to plan a break, the focus here is on resting with an opportunity to play. This sets the park apart from the places selling products and offering tastings. You can include it in your day’s plans as a stop with a play opportunity for children.

The challenging MacGregor Peak Track can be walked in the Murdunna area and near the Sommers Bay residential area. Its challenging rating is an important consideration if you want to make hiking the focus of your stay. As a hiking option, the track differs from a break at Jackson Park or a visit to shop and enjoy tastings. Consider whether this type of activity suits your travel plans, and take the stated difficulty into account.
