The Best Romantic Getaways in Tasmania for a Weekend Escape

Tasmania is certainly not short of a romantic stay. This heart-shaped island state is known for its cosy accommodation, abundance of wine and world-class cheese and fine dining - all leading to a romantic atmosphere.  But arguably, the most crucial aspect is finding the perfect accommodation to base yourself on. 

Whether you seek moody, rustic comforts or a weekend of total luxury, you’ll find something to suit in just about any area of the state. Read on for our pick of the best romantic getaways in Tasmania. 

Little Falu

In the stunning wilderness of the Northeast, Little Falu is a Swedish cottage-style tiny home perfect for your next romantic getaway in Tasmania.

Experience the Swedish tradition of Fika as you unwind in this cosy yet luxurious setting, surrounded by Tassie bushland. Relax with a bath or savour an afternoon French press coffee by the crackling fireplace as inquisitive wildlife check-in. 

There are skylights in the loft so that you can stargaze together from the comfort of your bed.

It is a magical little escape; secluded, transformative and charming.

Captains Rest

As remote as they come, Captain’s Rest is an iconic historically-listed shack in Strahan on Tassie’s west coast, and one you may have seen pop up on your Instagram feed.

Every detail has been attended to at this stay, furnished with love and care and boasting some of the most serene views you could hope for from its waterfront windows.

A private jetty and rowboat, a flock of ducks who are regular visitors on the front doorstep, and a deep clawfoot bathtub to enjoy a soak for two all add to the joy of your time here.

Among a historic village of seaside shacks, visit in the off-season to enjoy the quietness of this local village, or come in summer to enjoy the sense of community among those who holiday here.

Satellite Island

Nothing says romance quite like a private island to yourself. Satellite Island is an unforgettable wild luxury getaway off the coast of Bruny Island in southern Tasmania.  

Completely secluded, time stands still at this unspoilt paradise, surrounded by the serene waters of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel. Resident sea eagles fly overhead, while plentiful wild oysters for shucking proliferate along the tideline.

Walk the rock shelf at low tide around the island, hope in the kayaks, kick back on a sun lounge, and sit by the fire as you watch the sunset over the ocean.

Do as much or as little as you like on the island, and if adventure strikes, Bruny Island with its beer, cheeses, oysters and great walks is just a five-minute boat ride away.

Pumphouse Point

At the southern end of the world-famous Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park (popular for hiking and mountain biking), where the Overland Track ends, you’ll find the prestigious Pumphouse Point.

Accommodation is spread across three stunning buildings, with several rooms in a historic pumphouse in the middle of the lake, others in the Shorehouse, and the Retreat is the tucked away private suite for two.

From any of these well-appointed options, you can enjoy all the surroundings, either by the rowboats, e-bikes, by foot or by car, before heading back for the deluxe three-course dinner and fire feasts included in your stay. Pumphouse Point is easily one of the best romantic getaways in Tasmania!

The highly-awarded hotel’s 11 adults-only eclectic antique-laden boutique rooms will see you in luxury in no time, with their comfortable king beds, unlimited barista coffee and deep bathtubs.

Stroll through their private gardens or enjoy a glass of wine on one of their sundrenched terraces, soaking up those glorious panoramic mountain views just moments from the city.

Sabi

Among the forest of the stunning east coast of Tasmania, in Binalong Bay in the Bay of Fires, you’ll find the award-winning retreat Sabi Stays.

Lovingly handcrafted of stone and timber, with so much attention to every facet of your stay, the deep tones and earthiness of this cabin will virtually hug you as you walk through the front door.

Float from forest to beach, to spa bath to stone fireside here, where you’ll find yourself hard-pressed to decide whether to spend more time in the beautiful surroundings of the Bay of Fires or your incredible accommodation. In the evening, take yourself to the verandah to soak up the view and sounds of the ocean with your evening tipple.

Inside, a mix of natural-textured fabrics and furnishings fill the cottage with warmth, from the timber floors and the velvet sofa, all the way to the 100% linen bedding. There’s also a courtyard garden, perfect for taking in that fresh, Tasmanian air.
