Australia has countless destinations for a sun-soaked beach holiday. But thereโs 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 itโs home to some of the countryโs very best Airbnbs. Unforgettable vistas, cosy winter hideouts, and all.

Tupelo, Primrose Sands
Perched on the waterโs edge with uninterrupted views of Tasmaniaโs 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 โ you wonโt want to do much else in such a picturesque location.
Thereโs a wood-fired Cape Cod fireplace, kayaks, bikes, and a kitchen made for group cook-ups โ 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.

The living room boasts sixty-five inches of TV and 180 degrees of windows. Itโs wheelchair accessible, cafรฉ-adjacent, and ticks off everything you might want as a winter getaway, from heated towel rails to underfloor heating.

Itโs an Airbnb thatโs 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 โ donโt wander too far, itโs still a working farm out there.

Mount Edgcumbe House, Rowella
Mount Edgcumbe House delivers a taste of old-world Tasmania in the best way possible, as a historic homestead located above the Tamar River on the historic Pointe Rapide Estate. Itโs one of Tasmaniaโs oldest homesteads thatโs been reborn as a luxury retreat, with three individually styled en-suite bedrooms, botanical gardens, and a wraparound vineyard.
Itโs the kind of place youโll want to slow down to enjoy, drinking in the views, relaxing under bamboo sheets, and warming yourself in front of a roaring fireplace. Whether youโre there to visit wineries, watch sea eagles, or simply leave the Big Smoke behind, this is a stay steeped in romance and refinement as a destination in its own right.

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 hotelโs 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 โ on the other side of which is the spectacular Freycinet National Park.
The rest of the home features three bedrooms, ensuring thereโs 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, youโll also find a shoreside deck to enjoy coffee in the morning and wine at night. Spectacular stuff.

Alpine Chalet, Judbury
Another Airbnb thatโs 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 thatโs what youโre 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.
