Take a sweeping view of the Derwent River. Add a modernist steel and glass pavilion with a lofty room inside featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and simple, high quality black and white finishes. Give it a broad balcony.

Put Vince Trim in command of the open kitchen and ask him to create something world-class with extraordinary local, seasonal ingredients. Appoint a host who understands what world-class service feels like, and tell him not to lose the local friendliness and relaxed pace in his pursuit of excellence. Now fill it with happy foodies and watch them relax into a superb meal with excellent wines.

Trim creates contemporary Australian dishes that have layers of intriguing flavours and influences without any trickiness or overreaching. His team includes baker "Flukesie" whose sourdough sits comfortably in the company of such stellar dishes. There's a great wine list that includes the Moorilla offerings.

With MONA, an world-class gallery, about to open & luxury accommodation to rest one's head, this is Tasmania's jewell.
