Tasmania is home to many natural beauties, and the accommodation is nothing short of spectacular.
The small island state of Tasmania boasts many magazine-ready sights, but the places available to stay along the way are a luxurious experience within themselves.
Some lodgings are so spectacular that people travel to Tasmania simply to stay at these accommodations, but there are many beautiful natural experiences to have outside these luxury stays. Read our story on What You Must Not Miss in Tasmania here.
There is plenty of choice when it comes to types of accommodation, from luxury resorts to private islands. Some of the stays below also offer unique experiences, from dining on oysters fresh from the sea on a table in the shallows to beekeeping.
