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.

Three Hummock Island

Three Hummock Island is romance for people who would rather disappear than check in. Off Tasmania’s north-west coast, this remote State Reserve gives you an entire island of granite coves, white beaches, wind-shaped forest and clear Bass Strait water. The 1910 Homestead is exclusively yours, with ocean views, a fireplace and space for eight, making it just as suited to an adventurous couples’ getaway as a wildly memorable group escape. The catch is also the charm: you bring what you need, then let Bass Strait set the terms.

Palazzo Campania

Set in Campania in Tasmania’s Coal River Valley, Palazzo Campania feels made for couples who want their weekend away with a little grandeur. The restored 1879 heritage house pairs old-world character with the pleasures of a slower country stay, from vineyard days and long lunches to afternoons by the pool. It is close enough to Hobart to feel easy, but far enough away to shift the mood entirely. For romance with a little weight and beauty behind it, this one is hard to go past.

Tiers Rest

Tiers Rest is a love letter to Tasmanian winter: crackling fires, misty mornings, mountain dawns and Great Western Tiers views that make the world fall away. In Chudleigh, 50 minutes from Launceston Airport, this design-led retreat brings a blush cast-iron bath, wood-fired pizza oven, reclaimed furnishings and an indoor fireplace into one deeply romantic stay, with Deloraine, the Taste Trail and Cradle Mountain close enough for beautiful day trips.

Picnic Island

Floating off Tasmania’s east coast, Picnic Island sits thrillingly apart, a private world of sea, sky and the person beside you. Its copper-and-glass lodge opens to Great Oyster Bay, with the Hazards rising blue in the distance. Days move between ocean swims, long lunches and penguins at dusk; nights glow with firelight and salt air. Remote, elemental and completely its own, this is Tasmania at its most romantic.

St Martin’s of Tasmania

Set within the fishing village of Dunalley, St Martin’s turns history into intimacy. Once a country chapel, now a hideaway for two, it balances reverence with a little rebellion: stained glass glowing against dark timber, a woodfire sauna warming old stone, salt air drifting in from the coast. Champagne chills where sermons once sounded, supper stretches late, and the garden seems almost enchanted. Romantic, unusual and beautifully unbound, this is a Tasmanian dream told through design.

Wahroonga on Bourke

For a romantic Launceston stay with the city laid out below, Wahroonga on Bourke brings heritage character and easy intimacy. Set within a larger Federation home, this self-contained one-bedroom apartment frames sweeping views from its king-sized bed, with twin bathroom sinks, heated floors, local artworks and late checkout adding a sense of care. Close to the city but made for staying in, it’s a charming base for a couples’ weekend.

Twamley Farm

Twamley Farm captures the romance of the Tasmanian countryside: gum trees, sandstone walls, open paddocks and the slow beauty of an 1840s estate beneath grand English oaks. Near Buckland, the 7,000-acre property pairs rustic heritage with beautifully considered detail across the restored Shearers Hut and Stable, each with outdoor hot tubs, fireplaces and local-produce breakfasts. Spend days walking the trails, cooking over fire or watching wallabies cross the fields, before returning to copper tubs, candlelight and deep country stillness.

Wild Rest

In the foothills of Kooparoona Niara, Wild Rest feels held by the land. Set on ten acres of Golden Valley bushland, this off-grid hideaway pairs raw Tasmanian beauty with thoughtful detail: an outdoor bath beneath the trees, a woodfire sauna and a cabin designed for deep retreat. It’s luxury stripped back to its most elemental form, where romance comes through fire, forest air, bare feet and the rare pleasure of having nowhere else to be.

Seven Stillwater

Above Launceston’s acclaimed Stillwater Restaurant, seven art-filled rooms turn a celebrated dinner into a deeply romantic stay. Each space carries Tasmania through the details: handmade ceramics, original works, Taylor & Smith spirits and Launceston Distillery drams waiting for a nightcap. The mood is intimate, generous and distinctly local, with one of the city’s best tables only a staircase away.

Sitchu Tip: Book Suite 1 for the deep tub, river views and breakfast provisions made for slow mornings, then head downstairs for a dinner worth dressing up for.

Vipp Tunnel Tasmania

On Bruny Island, facing the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, Vipp Tunnel redefines romance through design. Designed by Hobart-based Room11 and part of Danish brand Vipp’s guesthouse collection, this off-grid retreat feels like architecture in conversation with nature: brutalist yet soft, precise yet poetic. Concrete and glass stretch toward the water, framing wild horizons and deep stillness. Inside, sculptural light, Danish furnishings, polished stone and a single white birch create a rare kind of intimacy.

Sitchu Tip: For an unforgettable evening, book a private dining experience with Bruny Island chef Simon Ford of Marefold, whose menus celebrate 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 sun and rain, this secluded stay is rich in handcrafted detail: abalone shell walls, a hand-laid stone fireplace and a wood-fired sauna tucked along the riverbank. Move from fire to water under a sky full of stars, with the Swan River, Great Oyster Bay and Freycinet country shaping the mood.

Sitchu Tip: For a deeper sense of place, opt for The Safari, an all-inclusive two-night stay and guided experience hosted by sanctuary owners Mat and Alex, with river, farm and sauna moments woven through.

MACq 01 

For history served with a side of high thread count, check into MACq 01, Hobart’s storytelling hotel on the city’s waterfront. Each room channels a Tasmanian character, from explorers to eccentrics, weaving local legend into art, objects and design details. Sip cocktails over the Derwent, sink into spa-like bathrooms and let Hobart’s past become part of the stay.

Sitchu Tip: Go all out with a Premium Waterfront Suite, where a private terrace brings the Derwent views into glorious focus.

Within reach of Cradle Mountain’s wild beauty, Eagles Nest Retreat feels made for two. Each villa opens to sweeping alpine views, with indoor and outdoor spas, fireside corners and interiors shaped for comfort over excess. Days drift between long baths, slow breakfasts and barefoot walks through the mist; nights bring flame, stars and the rare feeling of being completely removed from the world.

The Stable Lofts

Set within the gardens of a historic Tasmanian estate, The Stable Lofts brings stone walls, soft light and countryside romance into beautiful focus. Collect fresh eggs from the coop, snip herbs from the garden, then turn breakfast into part of the ritual. By dusk, the fire pit calls for hot cocoa, toasted marshmallows and long conversations beneath country skies. With rustic elegance and a deep sense of seclusion, this is a romantic getaway in Tasmania that charms you completely.

Little Falu

Hidden in northeast Tasmania, Little Falu is a Swedish-inspired hideaway made for two. Timber, candlelight and calm shape the mood, with a tiny home that feels intimate, artful and deeply considered. Run a bath, make coffee by the fire, and watch wallabies pass through the trees. After dark, skylights draw the stars above your bed, adding another layer of magic to an already beautiful stay. Remote, restrained and deeply romantic, Little Falu captures the beauty of simplicity with real charm.

Captains Rest

As far-flung as it is beautiful, Captain’s Rest is one of Tasmania’s most coveted romantic hideaways: a heritage-listed waterfront stay set on the wild west coast. Inside, every detail feels considered, from soft linen and vintage timber to the gentle play of light across the rooms. Step onto your private jetty, row across still water and watch ducks drift past. Then sink into the clawfoot bath built for two, with the water at your door and the west coast doing what it does best: making the rest of the world feel very far away.

Satellite Island

Satellite Island doesn’t flirt with romance; it removes the mainland altogether. Set in the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, just off Bruny, this private island gives you cliffs, blue gums, shell-scattered rock shelves and a horizon with no interruptions. Collect oysters straight from the water, take the kayaks out, swim if you’re brave, then return to firelight as the channel darkens. The luxury here is not excess. It is salt on your skin, wind in your hair and the strange thrill of having an island almost entirely to yourselves.

Pumphouse Point

Pumphouse Point is not coy about its drama. Set at the edge of Lake St Clair, with its long concrete pier stretching into dark alpine water, this former hydro-electric pumphouse has become one of Tasmania’s most iconic stays. Rooms sit over the lake or within the old shorehouse, where fires burn, wine is poured and the wilderness feels close enough to touch. The Retreat suites raise the romance again, with freestanding tubs, stone fireplaces and breakfast arriving with the morning mist.

Take the rowboat out, dress for dinner, watch the weather move across the water, then give in to the rare pleasure of a place that asks very little of you, except that you stay exactly where you are.

Islington Hotel

Islington Hotel is Hobart romance with a collector’s eye: Regency architecture, serious art, antiques, mountain views and a terrace made for late-afternoon drinks. At the foot of kunanyi/Mt Wellington, this adults-only stay brings king beds, deep baths and barista coffee into a setting that feels intimate without trying too hard. Check in for old-world glamour, mountain air and the pleasure of a hotel that still understands occasion.

Sabi Stays

SABI Stays turns restraint into seduction. In Binalong Bay, five minutes from the Bay of Fires, this handcrafted stone-and-timber cabin draws on wabi-sabi design, with raw textures, walnut-toned timber, a granite fireplace and a copper-lined Japanese-inspired onsen beside the mezzanine suite. Light the fire, pour the wine and let the orange-lichen boulders, sea air and white sand do the rest.

Captain’s Cottage

Captains Cottage brings old Hobart to the bedroom door. Originally built for a ship’s captain in the mid-1800s, this heritage-listed stay sits close to Salamanca, Battery Point and the city’s waterfront, pairing 19th-century bones with a beautifully restored interior. Timber floors, velvet sofas, linen bedding and layered vintage detail give it depth and charm, while the private courtyard garden is made for morning coffee, late-night pinot and pretending you live here.
