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.
Luxury in Tasmania has never been about excess for the sake of it. It is not chandeliers, overworked service, or a room trying too hard to impress you before you have even put your bag down. Here, the romance sits elsewhere: in a cedar-lined cabin above the sea, a restored inn with floorboards that have held more than a century of stories, a bath drawn beside a wall of glass while weather rolls in across the bush.
This island does indulgence in its own language. It might be a design-led stay on the east coast where the windows keep pulling your gaze back to the water. It might be a sandstone hotel in Hobart, all old bones and beautiful restraint. It might be an off-grid hideaway where the fire is already lit, the air smells faintly of eucalyptus, and the stars arrive in full, with no city haze to soften them.
Tasmania makes a strong case for staying put. For sleeping in longer, booking the second night, pouring another glass of pinot and letting the landscape set the pace. From windswept coastal sanctuaries to heritage stays with depth and atmosphere, these are the luxury stays in Tasmania worth travelling for.
Coming Soon: A New Luxury Stay Is Opening on Tasmania’s East Coast
Opening 10th June 2026, Wineglass Bay Estate is a new boutique stay on 52 acres beside Moulting Lagoon on Tasmania’s East Coast. The property features eight standalone retreats, each positioned for uninterrupted water views, with king beds, ensuites, curated minibars and spacious decks designed for long sunsets over the lagoon. There is also an on-site vineyard, Kitty’s Mistake, where young Pinot Noir vines mark the beginning of the estate’s winemaking story. It is polished, private and very much shaped by the landscape around it.

The Burrows
What if your next escape came wrapped in weathered stone, wild coast and quietly luxurious detail? The Burrows is exactly that. Set on 2.5 acres, this 1860s cottage looks towards Freycinet and The Hazards, with interiors layered in vintage finds, Belgian linens and lived-in beauty. Soak in the private bathhouse, wander the windswept gardens, or let the sea air reset the tempo entirely. Personal, poetic and atmospheric, it is slow living with salt on its skin.

The Point
Set above Frederick Henry Bay on 50 acres at the start of South Arm Peninsula, The Point is a striking adults-only escape where architecture and landscape meet in spectacular fashion. Three ensuite bedrooms, a black stone bath facing the water, fireplaces, cobbled courtyards and wide horizons make staying in very tempting. Yet Hobart is only 20 minutes away, giving this extraordinary retreat both seclusion and ease in equal measure.
319 Forest Hill Road, Sandford
Sea Stone
Sea Stone is Swansea’s East Coast escape for aesthetes who want architecture with their horizon. Framed by Great Oyster Bay and the Freycinet coastline, the three-bedroom stay wraps six guests in stone, sea air and glassy calm. Swim from the beach, book a private chef or in-house massage, then let dusk silver the deck and the bay set the mood.
Swansea, Tasmania
Piermont Retreat
Piermont Retreat has the East Coast in its bloodstream. It sits low against Great Oyster Bay, with the Hazards across the water and the wind moving hard through the grass, and it does not try to tame any of it. The old stone cottages have heft, the newer stays keep their lines clean, and the whole place knows the view is doing plenty of the work. Days start with cold sea air and strong coffee, then it is kayaks, bikes, tennis, long walks, a swim if you are game. By night, the Homestead earns its keep with oysters, local fish, good bottles and a fire worth staying near.

Lumiere Lodge
In the foothills of West Hobart, Lumière Lodge feels like a house with a long memory. Set within a restored 1890s Victorian cottage, it brings together antiques, art, stained glass, rich colour and the sort of detail that only lands when someone has truly lived with a place before sharing it. Kerran and Samuel Langley have shaped it with a collector’s eye, so every room carries texture, mood and a strong sense of place. Come morning, light moves softly through the old windows, coffee belongs in the garden, and the city feels pleasingly far away, even though the centre of Hobart is only minutes from the door.

Freycinet Lodge’s Coastal Pavilion
With the Hazards rising behind it and Great Oyster Bay out front, Freycinet Lodge has one of the most enviable settings in Tasmania. The Coastal Pavilions make the most of it, with king beds, outdoor tubs and walls of glass angled towards the water and bush beyond. Days here tend to begin early and end slowly: walking tracks, cold swims, long afternoons back on the deck, then dinner with local produce and a view that is difficult to look away from.

Ship Inn Stanley
Beneath The Nut, Ship Inn Stanley gives North West Tasmania the hotel it deserves: heritage-rich, design-minded and full of personality. Built in 1849, this restored former inn now holds seven suites and two apartments, each layered with antique finds, velvets, coastal views, and a narrative that runs deeper than styling alone. Breakfast provisions are delivered daily; there is a guest lounge in the original billiard hall, plus gardens, a gym, and a yoga studio for stretching out the stay.
A few steps from the beach, the chairlift and Stanley’s main street, it is one of those rare places that feels both deeply local and very hard to leave.

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
High in Goulds Country, The Keep is a wildly romantic adults-only escape perched on a 650-metre rocky outcrop with 360-degree views across the Blue Tier and Tasmania’s north-east coast. Built for two, the stone tower pairs complete seclusion with a granite outdoor bath, a handcrafted granite fireplace and three private walks through the property. It is dramatic, remote and deeply atmospheric, with the landscape doing what no styling trick ever could.
Goulds Country, Tasmania
Captain’s Rest
Captain’s Rest is a dreamy, one-bedroom retreat that helped put Tassie shack stays on the global map. Sitting right by the water with a view to swoon over (plus a few friendly ducks), it’s all whitewashed walls, antique charm, luxe linens, and maritime touches. A crackling wood fire completes the picture. This iconic hideaway has inspired a wave of stylish renovations across Tasmania — and once you step inside, you’ll understand exactly why.

Post House
On the banks of the Carlton River, The Post House is an 1840s former post office reimagined as a deeply romantic heritage stay. Carefully restored, it pairs original character with modern comforts, from weathered textures and handmade details to a brass bath overlooking the river. There is history in the walls, too, including preserved sketches left by a former postmaster. Peaceful, photogenic and full of atmosphere, it is equally suited to a quiet escape, an elopement or a beautifully considered shoot.

Skyfarm Retreat
High above the Huon Valley, Skyfarm Retreat turns the off-grid cabin stay into something far more memorable. The modern A-frame pairs floor-to-ceiling glass with a wood fire, an outdoor bath and wide, rolling views that shift with the light. It is private, design-led and atmospheric, made for slow mornings, long evenings and the pleasure of going nowhere at all.
Woodstock, Tasmania
Pumphouse Point
The spectacular Pumphouse Point sits on Lake St Clair, at the southern edge of Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park, where the Overland Track reaches its final chapter. Its stay is spread across the historic Pumphouse, floating on the lake and reached by footbridge, the elegant Shorehouse on land, and secluded Retreats made for two. Days unfold in the wild by rowboat, e-bike, foot or car, before evenings return to firelit comfort and generous Tasmanian dining. A place where wilderness and luxury move in rare, beautiful sync.

Slow Beam
Anchored into the hills of West Hobart, Slow Beam is a breathtaking fusion of Australian art, design, and nature. Winner of ‘Best Designed Stay’ at the 2021 Airbnb Awards, this architectural marvel by Hearth Studio redefines Tasmanian luxury. Every window frames something extraordinary — sweeping river and city views, or the quiet poetry of sandstone and native bushland. Elegant yet grounded, it’s a luxury accommodation in Tasmania that feels both sculptural and soulful — a true design masterpiece that lets the landscape take centre stage.

Cntnr 1.0 and 2.0
Set on the banks of the Scamander River in Upper Scamander, CNTNR 1.0 is a 40-foot shipping container reworked into a striking riverside stay beneath the gums. There is a fire pit, a private deck for sunset, and that rare sense of complete removal from the rest of the world. CNTNR 2.0 takes the same off-grid romance and gives it a little more room to stretch out, with sleek interiors and the same deep connection to the landscape. Both are beautifully secluded, design-led stays where the river sets the pace and no Wi-Fi feels entirely beside the point.
Upper Scamander, Tasmania
Candlebark Ridge
Candlebark Ridge is the east coast hideaway worth knowing about — an off-grid tiny home set across 18 acres near St Marys. Mid-century ease meets modern comfort here, with solar power, a king bed framed by cinematic windows, a biodiesel heater and a deck angled towards the Tasman Sea. Fill your days with beach walks, bush trails and mountain rides, then come back to the fire, the view and that delicious feeling of being nowhere near anything urgent.

The Polaire Suite
The Polaire Suite is one of Hobart’s most serene stays, looking across St David’s Park and sitting just moments from Salamanca Place. Within a beautifully restored 1929 building, the suite draws on the poetry of the far south through original Tasmanian art, tactile natural finishes and a washed palette of sea, stone and sky. The king bedroom opens into generous living and dining spaces lined with herringbone oak and softened by sheer linen light. Even the rain shower feels considered. Downstairs, the experience sharpens again with priority access to Institut Polaire and its famed Antarctic dry martini.

Moss Hotel
Moss feels deeply Hobart, in the way the best stays do. Set across heritage warehouses on Salamanca Place, it brings together sandstone, timber, greenery and thoughtful design without ever pushing too hard. There is texture everywhere you look, from handcrafted furniture to the traces of the buildings’ earlier lives, yet the whole experience still feels calm, current and considered. For a stay with a little more outlook, book one of the Grove rooms at 39 Salamanca Place, where the windows open onto the energy of Salamanca and the hotel’s old bones meet a softer, more contemporary mood.

Kittawa Lodge King Island
King Island’s Kittawa Lodge earned its place on the global stage with a 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards listing in both the US and UK editions of Condé Nast. Since arriving in 2019, it has helped recast this windswept edge of Bass Strait as somewhere deeply desirable to disappear to, pairing 96 oceanfront acres with stays that feel considered at every turn. Two one-bedroom lodges now sit alongside the newer Kittawa Retreat, each placed for privacy and the full force of the coast. There are soaking tubs turned towards the sea, premium Tasmanian wine within reach, and gourmet provisions or private-cook dinners that make returning home at dusk feel like the whole point.

Saffire Freycinet
Saffire Freycinet captures Tasmanian luxury in its purest form. Set within a national park at Coles Bay, its 20 sculptural suites open to sweeping views of the Hazards Mountains — nature and design in perfect harmony. Each suite features king beds, double baths, espresso machines and secluded courtyards, while pavilions come with private plunge pools framed by wilderness.
Guests spend days shucking oysters, snorkelling, hiking or surrendering to the serene day spa, before settling in for all-inclusive dining that’s as artful as the view.

The Rox
In Hobart’s Midtown, The Rox balances old bones and new lines with real ease. Two apartments sit within the heritage-listed 1880 building, while two more bring a more contemporary mood next door, giving you a choice between character-rich charm and a cleaner city sensibility. The Elizabeth and Alexander feel steeped in place; the Rox Apartment and Penthouse look forward. What ties them together is a thoughtful eye, with Tasmanian makers, designers and potters shaping the interiors, and Elizabeth Street right outside when you are ready for the city again.

Islington Hotel
With kunanyi / Mount Wellington rising behind it, Islington Hotel brings a more grandly domestic side of Hobart into view. Set within an 1847 Regency house in South Hobart, it feels steeped in history without ever turning stuffy, with art-lined rooms, antiques, fireplaces and gardens that give the whole stay a sense of ease and privacy. Mornings begin with Anthony Illingworth’s breakfast, shaped around local and foraged produce, before the city draws you back in just a short drive away.

The Tasman
Few Hobart hotels feel as resolved as The Tasman. With St David’s Park on one side and the waterfront on the other, it weaves the city’s past and present into a stay that actually feels rooted here. The St David’s Park Suite captures that beautifully, from its exposed sandstone and fireplace to the remarkable Baltic pine ceiling, crafted from timber once carried as ballast on the first tall ships into Hobart. Then there is Peppina, where Massimo Mele brings Italian warmth and appetite to the old hospital building, and Mary Mary, which makes a very enticing case for ending the night downstairs with a gin martini.

MACq 01
Right on Hobart’s waterfront, MACq 01 has a stronger identity than most city stays. The harbour is part of the experience, not just the outlook, and the hotel’s connection to Tasmania’s past feels embedded rather than pasted on, with each room drawing on a different island character. Between the water outside, Old Wharf downstairs and The Story Bar after dark, it carries a mood that is specific to this part of Hobart and hard to fake.

The Bowmont
Set in Franklin on the edge of the Huon River, The Bowmont carries its history with charm and a little flair. Built in 1906 as an Edwardian bank, the building has also spent time as a hospital, antique store and community space before Michelle Crawford reimagined it as a stay with warmth, wit and unmistakable character. Upstairs, the former bank manager’s residence is now a two-bedroom apartment with river views, a deep bath and breakfast provisions from local makers. Downstairs, a generous studio hosts workshops, suppers and shoots, giving this old riverside address a creative second life.

Captain’s Cottage
Captains Cottage is one of those Hobart stays that stays with you. Built for a ship’s captain sometime in the 1800s, the heritage-listed cottage sits within the city’s inner streets, with Salamanca, Battery Point and the CBD all an easy walk away. Inside, timber floors, natural textures and Dutch flax linen give the rooms their softness, while the deep claw-foot bath, set by French doors opening to the courtyard garden, makes coming home feel especially good. Small in scale and full of character, it has the rare charm of somewhere shaped by history and still deeply inviting now.

Henry Jones Art Hotel
The Henry Jones Art Hotel brings real depth to Hobart’s waterfront. Set within the city’s oldest waterfront warehouses on Hunter Street, it pairs rough-hewn timber, hand-cut stone and original windows with contemporary Tasmanian art, giving the whole stay a stronger point of view than most. No two rooms are the same, but The H. Jones Suite is a standout, with blackwood interiors and an overflowing spa looking across the harbour.
