The Best Luxury Accommodation in Tasmania for a Glamorous Getaway

From the city to the country, to smack bang in a national park, we’ve rounded up the most coveted luxury accommodation across Tasmania.

Lumiere Lodge

Gone are the days when luxury simply meant crisp white sheets and a breakfast buffet — though rest assured, Tasmania does those with effortless finesse. Today, indulgence takes on a richer form here: one deeply rooted in place, where design, comfort, and nature exist in quiet harmony.

Across this wild and wondrous island, luxury reveals itself in many guises. Think architecturally striking coastal hideaways with sweeping sea views, lovingly restored heritage estates steeped in history, and off-grid glamping experiences where stars outshine any chandelier. Whether you’re craving seclusion, sophistication, or something in between, Tasmania offers a curation of stays that elevate the idea of escape.

Here is our guide to Tasmania’s most exceptional luxury accommodation — each one a destination in its own right.

Freycinet Lodge’s Coastal Pavilion

Set between the wild coastline and the towering Hazards, Freycinet Lodge balances rugged beauty with quiet refinement. This luxury stay in Tasmania feels wholly of its landscape — secluded, sensory, sublime. Cabins melt into the bush, king beds and deep outdoor tubs framing views that hush the mind. Days unfold in rhythm with the tide: hikes through pink-granite peaks, swims in Wineglass Bay, and dinners showcasing Tasmania’s finest produce against a panoramic horizon that turns every meal into a moment worth savouring.

Built in 1849 and lovingly restored, its seven suites each tell their own tale, wrapped in heritage charm and ocean views. Mornings begin with a generous breakfast basket, evenings with the hush of the bay beyond your window. Thoughtful, intimate, and truly luxurious.

Vipp Tunnel

Vipp Tunnel on Bruny Island is a brutalist one-room wonder carved into the island’s coastal landscape. Designed by acclaimed architects Room11, this off-grid hideaway pairs raw concrete with cinematic views of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, its floor-to-ceiling glass blurring the line between land and sea. Inside, Danish Vipp interiors and sculptural lighting frame a retreat of quiet, deliberate luxury.

Guests can book an intimate dining experience with Chef Simon Ford (@marefold_bruny_island), whose multi-course menus champion Bruny and Tasmanian produce through sustainable, slow-food craft. Together with partner Nicole, he celebrates local growers in dishes that feel both elemental and exquisite — a meal as memorable as the setting itself.

The Keep

The Keep

High above Tasmania’s North-East, where granite meets sky and silence roars louder than the wind, stands The Keep — a stone sentinel for the soul. This adults-only refuge is not just a stay, but a medieval-inspired revelation: 360-degree views, a firelit tower, and a bath beneath the stars.

Wrapped in wild seclusion and etched into the mountaintop, it’s where time unravels and wonder takes its place. Come here to vanish.
