Are you a kindred spirit?

Kindred Spirits Travel invites you to say "yes" to the reading retreat you've always dreamed of. Explore the windswept coastlines, gothic forests and rolling midland pastures of Lutruwita/Tasmania — a wild island of hidden gems, layered history and quiet magic

See Tasmania the way locals do: from the hidden gems to the places that don't make the guidebooks. Whether you're a confident solo traveller or looking forward to meeting a group of kindred spirits, our retreats are built for you. It's community, grown through openness, connection and the simple power of a good book.
Gather around the fire with intriguing thinkers, powerful voices and bestselling creatives, for exclusive Q&As, lively conversation, long lunches and literary salons as part of your experience. All set in a relaxed, open space designed to spark real conversation.
Plenty of free time to escape into a book is sacred to us.. Our settings are chosen for comfort, with delicious meals and cosy corners to retreat from the world, one page at a time. Whether you want to retreat from the world, or connect with the group, the choice is yours.
Our retreats are built for the joy of talking books — deeply, unhurriedly, with people who feel it too. We bring together local storytellers, artisans and creatives to weave their particular magic into your stay. With our collective of writers from the Australian book,film and TV industries, no two Kindred Spirits retreats are quite the same.
Not a skerrick. Come exactly as you are, wherever you're at with your reading. We'll hand you a reading list and a Kindred Spirits tote bag brimming with books and little treasures, and from there, we'll wander through it together. There's always a mix of fiction and non-fiction — some stories to devour in one sitting, others to dip in and out of, like a good conversation you can pick back up anytime. Each retreat comes with guided discussion overviews, plus the opportunity to join our workshops or salons with our special guests.
