MONA Pavilions

Overview

Main Information

MONA is one of the most exciting things happening in Australia. It’s based around Moorilla Estate, an operating winery since the 1950s that’s now a cultural hub of sophistry and art as well as great wine.

Located on the banks of the River Derwent, it currently has The Ether building at its heart, home to The Source restaurant, the winery Cellar Door and a collection of fine Australian and international art. Early 2011 will see the opening of the Musuem of New and Old Art (MONA) – a three-storey subterranean ‘subversive Disneyland’ and Australia’s largest private museum.

Guests can stay within this remarkable complex in one of eight radical structures that make up the MONA Pavilions.

The Pavilions overlook the Derwent River and feature artworks from the MONA collection. Four new Pavilions are named for architects who have influenced Australia’s architectural landscape; four original Pavilions are named for artists.

Each has its own distinct character. They feature video art from edgy artists like Tamy Ben-Tor, an American performance artist who pokes fun at ‘stupid rich people who buy art’.

Furnished by leading local and international designers, they have a fully-equipped kitchen and laundry, an individual wine fridge and wireless touch panels for lighting, temperature, information and audiovisual control.

Guests have access to the heated infinity pool, sauna and gymnasium.

Hobart

  • The city of Hobart is an interesting blend of modernity, scenery, heritage and culture. A modern lifestyle set amongst a dramatic, heritage influenced cityscape, this is not a city to be missed.

    Much like the rest of Australia, Hobart receives four distinctive seasons of weather over the year.
