Meet The Team -
Having grown up in a bucolic setting, strikingly different to the urban sprawl and bustle of Sydney, Matt knew years before his arrival in Tasmania the type of lifestyle he longed to return to. He was sure about the type of place he wanted for his family: days spent outdoors rather than inside, meals full of home-grown harvests, and nights without the cacophony of urban noise.
When “The Old Black Stump” restaurant came up for sale in 2018, a vision of that very lifestyle started to take shape and soon afterwards, the concept of Wilder Tasmania was born.
It was at this point that Matt connected with both old and new friends with extensive experience in the Tasmanian tourism space - and Wilder Tasmania became a reality. The team members behind the Wilder concept were local business owners and friends: Matt Gower, Boris Petrack, Daniel Priest and Sam Lincoln. They brought the Domescapes concept and investment to the Gowrie Park site, assisting Matt Fell in his vision to turn “The Old Black Stump” into a tourism centrepiece for the North-West Region.

Enjoy all the comforts in our luxury geodesic dome accommodation.
Our beautifully crafted 38 sq metre geodesic domes, complete with their own ensuites, stargazing sky windows, insulated walls and wood heaters offer a unique wilderness getaway in the heart of Tasmania. Guests can escape the stress of everyday life and soak up the wonders of Tasmania without sacrificing the comforts of home.
Each dome has been thoughtfully equipped with a private ensuite and a quality King-size bed, and even its own outdoor clawfoot bath. The interiors have been created by designer Julie Gower, and provide a space that is warm, inviting and unique.
Each highly energy efficient dome has been engineered to withstand the harshest Tasmanian winters and the intensity of the summer sun. With a built in solar vent, the doubly insulated domes offer maximum year-round comfort and allow guests to sit back and enjoy the panorama and the ever-changing moods of the mountain or make new friends in the communal lounge of Wilder Lodge.
Wilder Lodge
With private access to our wonderfully cosy and rustic lodge, guests can unwind by cosying up in front of an inviting log fire or by taking a glass of wine or delicious delicacy from the well-stocked self-service bar. This intimate space, furnished with vintage gems, will ensure that every guest feels both relaxed and indulged.
Wilder Tasmania showcases local produce and provides a delicious selection of pre-prepared meals made by local chefs. We also offer a continental breakfast in the lodge, and our onsite well-stocked bar also offers a wonderful selection of Tasmanian spirits, wines and beers to enjoy by the open fire. A range of catered options is also available for exclusive group bookings.
