Pedder Wilderness Lodge

There's a wide range of comfortable accommodation at this former hydro-workers' lodge, from budget rooms to spa suites. If you've come this far from civilisation, it's worth plumping for at least a lake-view room (even if the walls are a bit thin). Otherwise, the Twelvetrees Restaurant (mains $25 to $36) has a bar, open fire and the same view.

Leisure facilities include an indoor pool, gym and tennis courts.
