Australia has countless destinations for a sun-soaked beach holiday. But there’s only one place that offers world-class eating and drinking, internationally acclaimed hiking, as well as some of the finest contemporary art in the country: Tasmania. What makes Tasmania an even more enticing proposition is that it’s home to some of the country’s very best Airbnbs. Unforgettable vistas, cosy winter hideouts, and all.

Tupelo, Primrose Sands
Perched on the water’s edge with uninterrupted views of Tasmania’s southeast coast, Tupelo is a front-row seat to the raw elements that make this corner of Australia such a special place. Watch storms roll across the bay, spot dolphins from the bath, or fire up the sauna before sunset – you won’t want to do much else in such a picturesque location.
There’s a wood-fired Cape Cod fireplace, kayaks, bikes, and a kitchen made for group cook-ups – not to mention a balcony BBQ and floor-to-ceiling windows in the master. With private waterfront access, space for the crew, and only five minutes to the beach, this is equal parts nature escape and family hideaway.

Entire Private Island, Three Hummock Island
Welcome to your own private island, with 23,000 acres of untouched wilderness, granite coastlines, turquoise seas, and curious wallabies roaming as they please. The Homestead is a cosy, heritage-style refuge with four flexible bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and sweeping views of the ocean from nearly every angle.
Starlink internet keeps you connected (if it’s absolutely necessary), but the real draw is the unparalleled freedom on offer, with options including everything from swimming and snorkelling to hiking and checking out the local wildlife. This is off-grid living, polished to a rare shine.

Bruny Island Tiny Home, Alonnah
Enjoying a secluded location within 99 acres of conservation forest on Bruny Island, this architect-designed cabin offers a rare kind of silence, only broken by birdsong, foraging wallaby, and the occasional sea eagle overhead. Minimalist and entirely off-grid, it’s a 28-square-metre tiny home that invites you to slow down, unplug, and stargaze beneath ink-black skies (with some sightings of the Aurora, if you’re lucky).
There’s firewood provided to ensure every night is a cosy one, pine floors that ask for bare feet, and even an outdoor bath built into the deck for a regenerative soak in the tub. The road in isn’t paved, it’s a good idea to be behind the wheel of a 4WD on arrival, but other than that, simply enjoy what the Tasmanian wilderness has to offer.

The Burrows, Swansea
The Burrows is a beautifully restored 1860s stone cottage perched quietly above Great Oyster Bay, which wraps you in vintage charm and cinematic views of Freycinet Peninsula. Styled with layered textures, feather sofas, antique books, and Belgian linens, it’s a retreat that feels comforting in how thoughtfully it’s been curated.
The two bedrooms open to sweeping vistas, a freestanding clawfoot bath behind French doors invites sunset soaks, while the crackling fire anchors the main living space. With underfloor heating for winter warmth and breakfast provisions from local producers, The Burrows is designed for couples, though a second guest room – accessed via the deck – can accommodate more, if needed.

Provider House, Lenah Valley
Tucked beneath the trees in Lenah Valley, Provider House is a serene, design-forward retreat just 10 minutes from Hobart. Here, Japanese minimalism and Tasmanian tranquillity are thoughtfully combined, with cedar bathtubs, Akari lights, and sunken lounges, with the river gurgling away as your soundtrack.
Spread across three levels, you can expect Tekla sheets, handmade ceramics, and firelit reading corners – plus a zen garden and fire pit for evenings that’re warm enough to enjoy the stars. The kitchen’s also a joy to cook in, making it ideal for design lovers.
Location: Lenah Valley

Slow Beam, West Hobart
Slow Beam is an architect-designed hideaway, hidden on a bush-covered hillside just eight minutes from Salamanca, and promising sweeping views of the Derwent River. You’ll be able to appreciate artworks and design objects by Fred Ganim and Esther Stewart with a complimentary Taylor & Smith cocktail in your hand, while the only visitors you should expect are wallabies on the lawn.
In essence, it’s a designer stay that leans luxe and local. There’s a fireplace, Le Labo toiletries, and a different view from every room, along with a fully kitted kitchen and a late 2 PM checkout. Steep stairs, dark walls, and soft lighting make it an escape that’s perfect for anyone looking to forget the hustle and bustle of city living.

Skyfarm Retreat, Upper Woodstock
Overlooking the Huon Valley, Skyfarm is an off-grid A-frame built to celebrate Tasmania’s spectacular landscapes. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the cabin with light, while wood-fired heating and underfloor warmth keep things cosy, a full kitchen, an outdoor firepit, and – the pièce de résistance – a freestanding bath on the deck.
It’s an Airbnb that’s remote, romantic, and promises immaculate river views, all while being just a 45-minute drive from the heart of Hobart. A reminder from the hosts, however: don’t wander too far, it’s still a working farm out there.

The Pavilion, Spring Beach
Set across five peaceful acres with views over Spring Beach’s rolling hills, The Pavilion is the kind of home away from home you’ll never want to leave. Perfect for couples (or small families), this sustainably built retreat features a king-sized bedroom, bi-fold doors opening onto a full-size tennis court, and a traditional Finnish sauna with bushland views.
If you’re up for some cooking, there’s a wood-fired pizza oven that promises piping hot pies, as well as a full-sized kitchen inside, plus, there’s an outdoor shower, sandstone courtyards, and native birdlife all around. With no neighbours in sight and nature at your doorstep, it’s a proper sanctuary of solitude.

Kunanyi House, Fern Tree
Located on the forested slopes of Mount Wellington, Kunanyi House is a 1969 modernist retreat designed by renowned architect David McGlashan, best known for Heide II. The home was built after the devastating 1967 Black Tuesday bushfires to celebrate informality, resilience, and a deep connection to nature.
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame rainforest gardens and reflection pools, while subtle split levels and generous glass invite the outside in. Each bedroom looks onto a different garden; the living room, warmed by a wood fire, sits half a level below the kitchen, the heart of the house. McGlashan’s signature use of textured concrete, tiered contours, and thoughtfully limed timber is all here.
Though just ten minutes from Hobart’s CBD, it feels a world away. Bring warm layers, wander the mountain trails, and soak up the quiet genius of a home that’s both an architectural landmark and a living memory.

Sea Stone, Swansea
Architecturally designed, luxuriously appointed, and located just a 10-minute walk from the highly-regarded Homestead Restaurant, Sea Stone is closer to a five-star hotel’s villa than an Airbnb. You can expect hotel-level details, too, with plush lounges, floor-to-ceiling windows, and living spaces that enjoy panoramic views of Great Oyster Bay – on the other side of which is the spectacular Freycinet National Park.
The rest of the home features three bedrooms, ensuring there’s enough space for your nearest and dearest, while the jewel in the crown of this stay is the backyard that offers direct access to the beach. Before you get to the beach, though, you’ll also find a shoreside deck to enjoy coffee in the morning and wine at night. Spectacular stuff.

Arthouse Bay of Fires, Binalong Bay
Arthouse Bay of Fires is an artist-owned escape just minutes from the white sands and vivid granite of Binalong Bay. Designed by an architect and curated with original art, rare furniture, and a library of books and films, it’s the perfect retreat for creatives and nature lovers alike.
Inside, you’ll find two bedrooms that overlook the garden, a pantry that’s generously stocked, and an art studio that’s yours to use, while outside, the sun-drenched deck is the perfect spot for a morning coffee as you contemplate how to spend the day. The options are endless, but popular activities include hiking nearby trails, swimming, snorkelling, or simply reading a book on Jeanneret Beach.

Alpine Chalet, Judbury
Another Airbnb that’s perched overlooking the Huon River with sweeping views of the Snowy Mountains, this secluded alpine retreat is a proper log-cabin antidote to city living. Just an hour from Hobart and surrounded by native bush, the four-bedroom home blends modern comfort with rugged charm, with a cosy fireplace, a deck with a freestanding bath for enjoying the serenity, and walking tracks to spot local wildlife.
Wi-Fi will keep you connected (if that’s what you’re after), but the real joy to be had at this location is in the stillness. A word of warning: the prelude to mountain serenity is a steep gravel driveway that demands an AWD or 4WD.
