Kabuki by the Sea — only in Tasmania!
Marilyn March 31st, 2007
This is a guarded secret and you are jolly fortunate that I am letting you in on it. The Kabuki was an unexpected find, perched on a cliff overlooking the Freycinet Peninsula — on a recent trip to the gorgeous east coast of Tasmania. The owners don’t seek publicity but have survived for over 15 years, despite the remote location and the puzzlement of the locals (they prefer the RSL).
Refugees from the Sydney restaurant scene, owners Michi Nakanishi and partner Terry Lanning, have found their nirvana. Incredibly they are open all year (though only for lunch in winter). The food is exquisite and the prices incredibly reasonable — our lunch with wine cost under $30 pp.
They also have 7 clifftop cabins which make a perfect overnight stop between Hobart and the Freycinet. Kabuki can include their Oriental room service dinner when you stay overnight.
