Tasmania
To travel to Tasmania you can fly into Hobart or Launceston, or take the Spirit of Tasmania ferry (you can take your car!) from Melbourne. The stunning natural beauty of Tasmania is best explored by driving, so car hire is highly recommended.
Experience the unique culture of the historical capital Hobart. Centrally located and a nice 4-star option, Grand Chancellor Hotel Hobart provides comfortable rooms overlooking the harbour, an indoor swimming pool, and a restaurant. If you are looking for an apartment try the Zero Davey Boutique Apartments, located on the waterfront, walking distance to many of Hobart’s attractions.
Visit the World Heritage-listed historic site of Port Arthur, and delve into the convict days of the 1800s. Located just 10 minutes’ drive away is the serene Four Seasons Waterfront Villas which overlook the picturesque Little Norfolk Bay.
To the North on the Tamar River lies the picturesque city of Launceston. The Mantra Charles Hotel is centrally located with on-site restaurant facilities. For a more secluded experience, try the self-contained Country Club Villas.
On the west coast lies the rugged coastal town of Strahan. Here you can explore the rugged wilderness of the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, or enjoy the magnificent sand dunes nearby.
Venture to the centre of Tassie to soak in the World Heritage wilderness of Cradle Mountain. Whilst there is no actual township, the Cradle Mountain Wilderness Village offers self-contained accommodation with an award-winning restaurant, and Peppers Cradle Mountain Lodge offers luxurious facilities including a restaurant and day spa.
