Accommodation & Hotels in Tasmania

Separated from the mainland of Australia by the notorious waters of Bass Strait, Tasmania is an island of unspoilt natural beauty and wild landscapes, renowned for its outstanding food and wine, and provides an idyllic destination for the acclaimed Sydney to Hobart yacht race.

Close to a fifth of the island is protected National Park, a refuge for rare and endangered plants and animals, boasting ancient forests, rugged coastlines and glittering waters.

Explore wildlife parks and see the intriguing platypus, clumsy wombats and shy rock wallabies. Visit the spectacular coastlines, fringed with cool ocean waters that teem with aquatic life such as seals, penguins, dolphins and whales and countless birdlife.

Depending on your sense of adventure Tasmania has it covered. Choose to explore the bush, or launch yourself skyward on a cable hang-glider. Try mountain bike riding, jet boating, white water rafting, or abseiling, or join an adventure tour and let the experts take care of the details.
