New Australian Blackbutt & Spotted Gum

We're excited to announce the debut of our Australian Species engineered timber flooring products - Australian Blackbutt and Australian Spotted Gum.

7 Ways to Organise and Declutter Your home

Living in a home that you are proud of, care about and feel comfortable in is so important to your overall health. Are you tired of all the mess lying around your floor? Do the kids or housemates never help out with cleaning and organising the space?

Overlooking the picturesque Lake Derwent water, the 4-star Lodore Falls Hotel is set in 40 acres of tranquil land with a waterfall and lakeshore.
