There’s nowhere else like Tasmania, with its wild and rugged terrain, bountiful produce, spectacular coastlines, breathtaking scenery and unspoilt natural wonders. And there are plenty of ways to enjoy the southern state, whether you want to go on an off-grid adventure, disconnect from the modern world or indulge in a luxurious break. These cosy cottages and cabins, from Hobart to near Launceston, are perfect spots to suit those needs and more.

  • With a fire pit and architectural two-seat sauna right on the beach, there’s no chance of getting chilly at this restored fishing shack on Tassie’s south-east coast. Pick your spot and watch echidnas, penguins and other wildlife amble by.

  • This private island, 90 minutes out of Hobart, is exclusively yours for each stay, with sleeping room for up to eight. There’s full access to a veggie patch and orchard, an abundant egg supply from resident free-range chickens and wild oysters straight off the rocks. You can even hire a local high-profile chef to cook for your group.

  • Sleep in a cosy eco-luxe converted shipping container.

  • Stay in an old shepherd’s cottage, a stone house built in the 1800s or a cosy weatherboard shack – all set on a 6000-acre sheep farm and vineyard with three private beaches.
