Our top 5 places to stay in when visiting the island of Tasmania

The island of Tasmania, off the southern coast of Australia, has been growing in popularity as a tourist destination. We have tracked down 5 amazing hotels and holiday homes that we think best embody the modern spirit of the little isle.

Thanks to the opening of MONA, Australia’s most controversial art gallery, the rise of new resorts and chic hotels as well as the growing reputation of its wine, gourmet food and seafood Tasmania is finally losing its twee “Apple Island” image. Modern Tasmania is full of surprise and new adventures. Only the clean air and pristine wilderness are unchanged.

From a remote, renovated water pumping station in the mountains to a beautiful and modern tiny house in the city of Hobart, there is hopefully something here for every taste.
