The Best Romantic Getaways in Tasmania for a Weekend Escape
These are the best romantic getaways in Tasmania — because nothing beats a cosy escape made for two.
Tasmania is a treasure trove of romantic escapes. This heart-shaped island pairs cosy stays with exquisite wine, world-class cheese, and fine dining, creating an atmosphere made for two. But the secret to a truly unforgettable getaway lies in finding the right place to call home.
From rustic hideaways to luxurious retreats, Tasmania offers something for every kind of romance. Explore our curated collection of the most enchanting getaways across the island — and get ready to fall for Tasmania all over again.
Picnic Island
Floating off Tasmania’s east coast, Picnic Island feels deliciously off-script — a place where the world narrows to sea, sky, and someone you love. Designed in burnished copper and glass, the island’s lodge opens to the endless blue of Great Oyster Bay, with the Hazards rising in the distance. Days slip by in ocean swims, long lunches, and penguin sightings at dusk. Nights are all firelight and salt air, the kind of clarity that stays with you. Remote, raw, and utterly singular — Tasmania at its most romantic.

St Martin’s of Tasmania
Set within the quiet fishing village of Dunalley, St Martin’s turns history into intimacy. Once a country chapel, now a hideaway made for two, it balances reverence with rebellion — stained glass glows against dark timber, a woodfire sauna breathes warmth into old stone, and the air smells faintly of salt and smoke. Champagne chills where sermons once were, supper stretches past midnight, and the garden feels almost enchanted. It’s not just romantic — it’s a beautiful kind of madness, a Tasmanian dream told through design, silence, and soul.

Wahroonga on Bourke
If a view of Launceston is what you’re looking for, Wahroonga on Bourke delivers. This lovely self-contained one-bed apartment (part of a larger Federation home) has stunning views of the city which you can enjoy from the comfort of the comfy king-sized bed. With thoughtful touches like twin sinks in the bathroom, local artworks lining the walls, heated floors and a late checkout, this apartment is a great option for an intimate couples’ weekend – and is handily located right in the city.
28 Bourke Street, Launceston
Twamley Farm
Twamley Farm captures everything romantic about the Tasmanian countryside, from its gum trees and sandstone walls to the golden hush of open space. Set on a historic 7,000-acre estate near Buckland, this 1840s property rests beneath grand English oaks, blending rustic heritage with refined detail. Stay in the restored Shearers Hut or Stable, each with outdoor hot tubs, fireplaces, and breakfasts made from local produce. Spend your days exploring trails, cooking over fire, or watching wallabies cross the fields. As night falls, copper tubs, candlelight, and quiet luxury await — country chic at its finest.

Wild Rest
In the foothills of Kooparoona Niara, Wild Rest feels like a quiet secret kept between the land and those who truly need it. Set on ten acres of Golden Valley bushland, this off-grid hideaway pairs raw beauty with soft intention — an outdoor bath beneath the trees, a woodfire sauna, a cabin made for slowing your pulse. It’s not luxury in the usual sense, but something rarer: the calm that follows exhale, the warmth of shared silence. Here, romance feels unhurried, honest — a reminder that peace can be wildly seductive.
Golden Valley, Tasmania
Seven Stillwater
Above Launceston’s acclaimed Stillwater Restaurant, seven beautifully appointed rooms capture the essence of Tasmanian design and hospitality. Each features original art, handmade ceramics, and curated tipples from Taylor & Smith and Launceston Distillery. Every stay feels personal, with the team anticipating your needs before you arrive.
Sitchu Tip: Book Suite 1 for maximum romance — a deep tub, river views, and breakfast provisions designed for unhurried mornings. Stay wrapped in comfort until evening, then wander downstairs for a dinner worth dressing up for.

Vipp Tunnel Tasmania
On Bruny Island’s untamed southern tip, Tunnel redefines romance through design. Conceived by Room11 Architects for Danish brand Vipp, this off-grid retreat feels like architecture in conversation with nature — brutalist yet soft, precise yet poetic. Concrete and glass stretch toward the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, framing wild horizons and absolute stillness. Inside, sculptural light, polished stone, and a single birch tree create quiet intimacy.
Sitchu Tip: For an unforgettable evening, private chef Simon Ford crafts a bespoke dinner celebrating southern Tasmanian produce.

Swan River Sanctuary
Escape to the edge of the wild at Swan River Sanctuary, a luxurious off-grid lodge on Tasmania’s East Coast. Immersed in nature and powered by the sun and rain, this soulful stay is defined by thoughtful design — abalone shell walls, a hand-laid stone fireplace, and a wood-fired sauna hidden along the riverbank. Reconnect with the elements (and each other) as you plunge from fire to water under starlit skies.
Sitchu Tip: For a deeper experience, opt for The Safari, an all-inclusive, guided escape with lodge owner Mathew Routley.

The Stable Lofts
Set within the gardens of a historic Tasmanian estate, The Stable Lofts feels straight out of a modern-day Austen chapter — all soft light, stone walls and stolen glances over breakfast.

As dusk drifts in, the fire pit beckons with hot cocoa, toasted marshmallows and quiet laughter under country skies. With its rustic elegance and gentle sense of seclusion, The Stable Lofts has a way of utterly bewitching you, mind, body, and soul.

Captains Rest
As far-flung as it is photogenic, Captain’s Rest is the west coast’s worst-kept secret — a heritage-listed hideaway with waterfront views that stop you mid-scroll. Inside, every detail feels considered: soft linen, vintage timber, light that spills like honey. Step onto your private jetty, row into still waters, and wave to the local ducks as if they’re old friends. Then sink into the clawfoot bath built for two; pure, quiet indulgence in one of Tasmania’s most romantic little sanctuaries.

Satellite Island
Anchored in the silvery hush of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, just a whisper from Bruny Island, Satellite Island unfurls like a secret too beautiful to believe. Its sheer cliffs, ancient blue gums and shell-strewn rock shelves cradle your world away from everything but the sea. Harvest wild oysters at your feet, drift in kayaks across glassy water, and settle by the fire as the sun melts into the ocean. Here, time loosens its grip — and you’re free to float in the magic of being far from anywhere.

Pumphouse Point
Anchored above the still waters of Lake St Clair, Pumphouse Point is Tasmania’s great love story — wild, remote, impossibly beautiful. Once an industrial relic, it’s now a haven of quiet indulgence, with rooms suspended over the lake and fires burning long into the night. The newly unveiled Retreat suites heighten the romance — freestanding tubs, stone fireplaces, and breakfasts delivered with the mist. From rowboat rambles to candlelit feasts, everything here feels cinematic.
It’s less a stay, more a slow surrender to Tasmanian wilderness.
