About Tasmania

Beautiful Tasmania sits slightly south of mainland Australia. A rugged island of rocky, snow-capped mountains, vast forests and wild plains fringed by beaches of golden sands, this is a dazzling destination for outdoorsy travellers. Australia’s only island state, Tasmania feels distinctly different from the mainland, with its heritage towns, unspoilt landscapes and charming, laid-back vibe. This is reflected in many of the best places to stay in Tasmania — intimate, often owner-run escapes in spectacular surroundings.

Begin your explorations in coastal Hobart, strolling through the lovely, leafy town centre with its historic townhouses, artsy museums and burgeoning crop of top-notch eateries and bars. A small, friendly city, this is a great base for sailing excursions, cycling, sight-seeing and stocking up on seasonal produce at bustling markets. Hop across to Bruny Island for superb wildlife encounters, or retreat to the farmhouses and homesteads of the countryside for delicious cuisine and a real sense of tranquility. Foodies and wine aficionados will adore the Tamar Valley in particular; Launceston is a brilliant springboard for tours and tastings.

Tasmania’s isolated setting has preserved some of the rarest plants and animals in the region. Admire the pristine green-greys of the Huon Valley, clamber up the craggy peaks of the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, or kayak and sail along the island’s lakes and rivers. Some of the best places to stay in Tasmania are coastal escapes, ideal for sun-drenched days spent swimming, surfing and soaking up the splendour of this very special destination.

The Best Places to Stay in Tasmania

FOR BOUTIQUE CHIC

  • Islington Hotel, a converted Regency townhouse in hilly South Hobart, fuses timeless elegance with chic modern design. The stone and glass extension frames beautiful views of Mount Wellington, there's a gorogeous gourmet restaurant, and an impressive collection of art and antiques from the owners' 30 years of global travels adorns the hotel. Very romantic.
  • The Red Feather Inn is a collection of beautiful colonial-era buildings, offering rooms, suites and superb private cottages in the Meander Valley. A short drive from Launceston, this is a great base for couples, friends and families, with gorgeous gardens and easy access to hiking and cycling trails. The farm to table cuisine is top-notch.

FOR a City Break

  • Henry Jones Art Hotel prides itself on being Australia's first 'art hotel'. A hip, stylish space housed in a series of 1820s warehouse conversions and a former jam factory on Hobart's waterfront, the hotel has characterful rooms with wooden beams, exposed stone, metal roofs and superb harbour views. The speakeasy bar is very cool, and art by Tasmanian artists is showcased in rooms & shared areas.
  • MACq 01 is a sleek contemporary hotel on the Hobart waterfront, with glittering metal roof, wooden siding and floor-to-ceiling windows from stylish modern guest rooms. Big photos act as headboards, and minimalist rooms feature designer furnishings as well as indulgent bathrooms & terraces. The storytelling theme is appealingly unique, with fascinating organised tours of the hotel and the city beyond.

FOR A COUNTRY HOUSE

  • Woodbridge on the Derwent, 25 minutes from Hobart in the Derwent Valley, invites guests to unwind in eight luxurious suites - many of which boast idyllic river views. Expect crackling fireplaces, a cosy library, graet wine cellar and extensive gardens surrounding the 1825-built mansion. With kayaks, paddle boards, bicycles, a hot tub and sauna, this is a top rural hideaway in the wine country.
  • Quamby Estate, set within 150 acres of landscaped grounds with tennis courts and a nine-hole golf course, is a marvellous rural retreat just 20 minutes from Launceston. Unwind in laid-back boutique bliss, savour seasonal cuisine or host a gorgeous wedding. A historic homestead dating back to the 1820s, with plenty of charm.
  • Villa Howden, on the tranquil shores of North West Bay, promises 10 elegant guest rooms and suites with waterfront views and floral textiles in a lovely country house. Stroll through leafy gardens, tuck into terrific Tasmanian cuisine, and enjoy sailing or hiking excursions. Romantic and relaxing.
  • The Corinda Collection has the feel of a country escape, yet sits just 15 minutes from central Hobart. The house is still in the hands of the family of 19th-century timber merchant Alfred Crisp, the original owner. Lavish traditional rooms, suites and cottages have big bay windows framed by patterned curtains, with cosy beds and antique pieces. Perch on the pretty terrace or take a guided tour of the gardens.

For Sea Views

  • Avalon Coastal Retreat, on Tasmania's striking east coast, offers three spacious bedrooms overlooking a beautiful private beach. Kick back on the beach, hike along the clifftops or fill your bags with seasonal produce from Swansea's farmers market to cook delicious dinners in the villa's modern, open-plan kitchen. Sensational sea views take centre stage at this luxury private villa.
  • Piermont Retreat is made up of charming cottages set around an 1838-built farmhouse overlooking two stunning private beaches. A remote east-coast escape, this family-friendly spot has cosy spaces clad in earthy tones, with log fires, spa baths and full kitchens. There's superb seasonal fare at the restaurant, and activities include kayaking, surfing, swimming & hiking. Very special.
  • Saffire Freycinet has 20 indulgent suites facing Coles Bay in the Freycinet National Park. Brilliant for romantic couples and outdoorsy adventurers, this luxury lodge promises guided nature walks, bird watching, Tasmanian devil encounters, and more. The seren spa is ideal for unwinding after big days out.

For a Wilderness Lodge

  • Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge offers four different types on accommodation, from suites to detached family cabins, surrounded by the wilderness of the Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park. Romantics will adore the Waldheim Alpine Spa, whilst outdoorsy types can see wallabies, wombats, possums and endemic birds whilst trekking and biking. The wine tastings are wonderful, too.
  • Thousand Lakes Lodge is an adult-only escape with nine contemporary guest rooms. Brilliant for those dreaming of discovering the 'real' Tasmania, this lodge offers hiking, fishing, e-biking, mountain biking, wildlife-spotting and more. An off-grid, eco-focused property on the banks of Lake Augusta.

For Design-Led Luxury

  • Mona Pavilions offers ultra-modern pavilions on the Morilla Estate, on the ground of the acclaimed MONA Museum. On the Derwent River just north of Hobart, this slick rural spot promises bold, design-led interiors with crisp, clean lines and popos of orange and purple against black-and-white interiors. There's a gym, sauna, heated pool, as well as vineyard tours, a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant and sensational art aplenty.
  • Rocky Hills Retreat is hidden within 250 acres of native bushland, perfect for a couples' escape. A striking, architecturally designed one-bedroom lodge, this space offers minimalist contemporary interiors, stunning views from floor-to-ceiling windows, and plenty of privacy. Cook up a storm in the charcoal kitchen, cosy up by the wood-burning stove and soak up forest panoramas.

FOR AN APARTMENT OR HOLIDAY COTTAGE

  • If you'd prefer a self-catering option, we suggest that you visit our online partner Booking.com.

Travel Information

  • Fly to Hobart Airport or Launceston Airport from a larger hub, such as Melbourne or Sydney. Alternatively, arrive in Tasmania by ferry from Port Melbourne or Davenport. Hop on a bus or take a taxi to your hotel from there. Many hotels will also be happy to arrange an airport or port pick up in advance.
  • Hobart is well-connected by public transport, but you'll want the independence of your own ride to explore Tasmania more freely. Contact our online partner Rentalcars if you would like to hire a car.
  • Visit in the summer months - between December and February - for pleasant temperatures and plenty of sunshine. This is peak season; you may find the spring and autumn shoulder season quieter, and hotels often offer reduced rates in those months.
