Enjoy luxurious accommodations with services you would only otherwise receive in a traditional hotel. Captivating natural landscapes, a combination of beaches and mountains, an authentic culture, mouth-watering food – all of these are just a few things Tasmania has to offer its guests. There’s no need to do your research. We’ve found the six best glamping spots that will become a highlight of your relaxing holiday in Tasmania.

1. Bay of Fires Bush Retreat

Located just a few minutes from the Bay of Fires’ beautiful beaches, the Bush Retreat is a must-visit spot for Tasmanian glamping. There are ten bell tents suitable for couples, one King Room, and a Bunk House ideal for up to six people. Although the guests need to share a bathroom and a wonderfully equipped kitchen, all of the facilities are in excellent shape and very stylish. The Bush Retreat’s unique feature is its platter bar called Tasmanian Produce Platters. They serve generously-sized pre-made meals and a delicious continental breakfast. The hosts, Anna and Tom, do their best to offer fresh fruit and vegetables (check out their garden!)

3. Scamander Sanctuary Holiday Park

Scamander Sanctuary Holiday Park is one of the best options if you want to go glamping and explore Tasmania’s East Coast. The park’s location is terrific. It’s close to a stunning beach and a wildlife reserve with rabbits and wallabies nearby. The glamping cabins, called Safari Cabins, cater to couples and families of up to six people. For something more conventional, you can go for cabins. They have a fully-equipped kitchen, a private bathroom, a TV, and a beautifully furnished terrace. There are also plenty of things to do in the holiday park. You can enjoy picnics on vast grassy areas, barbecue dinners (grills and a camp kitchen available!), and a lovely playground for kids. But if you are eager to explore, head out south to the Bay of Fires. You’ll find the ocean shore, wildlife parks, and fascinating local vineyards. The park’s hosts thrive to provide everything needed for a carefree glamping experience. But if you need anything extra, the town of St. Helena is only a 15-minute drive from the camp.
