HOTEL FACILITIES
SPECIAL OCCASIONS Centre-piece to the gardens at Islington is our Heritage listed willow tree. We have added to the charm of centuries old plantings the magic of Andrew Pfeiffer, one of Australia’s most celebrated landscape architects, to make it into an acre of discovery and joy of rare plants and exotic blooms.
From champagne on the marble terrace, looking through the illuminated glass spires floating on the black marble pond reflecting the soaring nature beyond; or the serenity of the open air glass pavilion with its own log fire and special mountain views, to the just opened, single iris flowering near the lily pond, every moment at Islington is discovery and an event in itself.
BUSINESS MEETINGS AND WORKSHOPS The Library at Islington is the ideal place for business meetings. Think rich mahogany, specially carved and rare Tasmanian timbers, big tables, comfortable chairs, animal prints and patterns, and you have a room for serious debate, for board meetings, for specially arranged dinners, for a product launch. Or simply showing off something fabulous. French doors open onto a sandstone paved terrace with the lawn, yew hedge and garden beyond. Fires crackle at the room end with bookcases astride. And to inspire great thought, on the walls hang the works of the cream of Tasmanian artists in an ever-changing showcase of the best the State offers. Opposite, something to contemplate - a chintz quilt, hand sewn by the Tasmanian ancestor of the owner about the same time Islington was being constructed. And true museum quality. And in the bookcases, porcelain
treasures that date from modern At Islington there are a range of options to suit your needs, some you will find below and others of course can always be arranged.
EVENTS Take the pattern from the floor of an old palace and remake it in black and white marble. At the centre plant a huge olive tree, at one end a log burning fireplace around which you can sit, sprinkle the floor with tables, chairs and settees in cosy groups, flank with a bar and a country kitchen, wrap it all up in a soaring glass cathedral and you have the Conservatory at Islington.
