Tasmania is made for a road trip, and you\u2019ll gradually travel around the island, so the question isn\u2019t which single hotel is absolutely the best. The real challenge is deciding <strong>how many bases to choose and in what logical order to arrange them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many travellers find that choosing the wrong distance between overnight stops can ruin an entire day. The island may look small on a map, but <strong>the roads are incredibly winding and hilly, and journeys take much longer<\/strong> than you might expect. The biggest trap, however, is Tasmania\u2019s wildlife: <strong>at dusk and during the night, you should drive at no more than 65 km\/h<\/strong> to avoid collisions with the kangaroos and wombats found almost everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This guide covers twelve bases, with specific <strong>tried-and-tested hotels and campsites<\/strong> that guests rate highly. We\u2019ll also take a detailed look at <strong>national park entry fees<\/strong>, because they are closely linked to your accommodation plans and make up a significant part of the budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab3be3859390&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab3be3859390\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full

Night driving is dangerous because of wildlife, and the recommended speed is 65 km\/h.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Number of bases:<\/strong> Three strategic bases are enough for a week, choose four for a ten-day trip, and book five or six different addresses for a two-week road trip.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>The key Parks Pass:<\/strong> If you plan to visit several national parks, buy the two-month Parks Pass Holiday. It already pays off after visiting two or three major reserves.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Cradle Mountain is different:<\/strong> This famous national park has its own entry system and a compulsory shuttle bus, which you need to factor in when buying tickets.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>First-night logistics:<\/strong> If you arrive by ferry, Devonport will usually be your first base, while air passengers generally start in Hobart or Launceston.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Book early:<\/strong> In places such as Coles Bay, Cradle Mountain and Strahan, you need to reserve accommodation months in advance because availability is limited.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>A trip to Maria Island:<\/strong> No cars are allowed on this beautiful island. Visit for the day or stay at the basic campsite without your vehicle.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Bases_Should_You_Choose\"><\/span>How Many Bases Should You Choose?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right number of bases depends mainly on how much time you have on the island. <strong>Leave European motorway habits at home<\/strong>: Tasmanian roads demand your full attention and constant braking for corners. The route between the two biggest cities, <strong>Hobart and Launceston, is only 198 km but takes at least two hours and 15 minutes<\/strong> of driving without stops. If you travel from Hobart to the mountain lake at Cradle Mountain, expect <strong>293 km, taking almost four hours out of your day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shorter route from Launceston to Cradle Mountain is <strong>140 km and roughly an hour and a half<\/strong>, which is more manageable but still requires careful planning. The shortest journey is usually from central Hobart to <strong>the summit of kunanyi, just 21 km away, although the hairpin bends make it a good 26-minute drive<\/strong>. These times apply only in ideal daylight conditions. As soon as the sun starts to drop, the whole driving situation changes dramatically. The recommended evening speed of 65 km\/h is not an unnecessary rule: Tasmanian devils, wombats and wallabies have a habit of jumping straight in front of cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To avoid the stress of <strong>finding your way along icy roads at night<\/strong>, there is one simple rule for choosing the number of bases. On shorter trips, try to <strong>minimise how often you repack your bags<\/strong>, while longer expeditions allow you to change addresses more frequently.

Tasmania has a specific Parks Pass system, and <strong>the price list valid from July 2026 offers several options<\/strong>. A basic one-day pass costs AUD 49.15 per vehicle, or AUD 24.55 per person if you aren\u2019t travelling by car. It is valid for 24 hours, but if you plan to sleep in nature and spend several days there, the cost quickly adds up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why buying a longer-term pass is so important. <strong>The two-month Holiday Pass costs AUD 98.35 per vehicle or AUD 49.20 per person<\/strong> and covers entry to all national parks across the island. Many international guides don\u2019t explain this option clearly enough, yet <strong>it pays for itself after your third national park<\/strong>. If you live on the island or plan repeated visits during the year, you can buy an Annual Pass for AUD 104.75, but for most visitors the Holiday Pass is the obvious choice. The price list applies from July 2026; check current prices at <a href=\"https:\/\/parks.tas.gov.au\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">parks.tas.gov.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When planning your route, pay close attention to one major exception. <strong>Famous Cradle Mountain has its own separate entry system<\/strong>, which works differently from the rest of the island. Entry costs AUD 30.70 for an adult, AUD 12.30 for a child and AUD 73.75 for a family, including the compulsory shuttle bus. If you already have an island-wide Holiday Pass, park entry is free, but <strong>you still need to buy a shuttle bus ticket for AUD 15.50<\/strong>, valid for 72 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab3be385a4ba&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab3be385a4ba\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-04.jpg\" alt=\"Spirit of Tasmania ferry\" class=\"wp-image-395305\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-04.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-04-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-04-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-04-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-04-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-04-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-04-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-04-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-04-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: JoeHard \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Fly_or_Sail_In%E2%80%94and_Where_to_Spend_Your_First_Night\"><\/span>Where to Fly or Sail In\u2014and Where to Spend Your First Night<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your first night on the island depends entirely on how you travel to Tasmania. Tasmania currently has <strong>no international airport<\/strong>, so you\u2019ll always need to connect on the Australian mainland. Most visitors fly into one of the two largest cities. A flight <strong>from Melbourne to Hobart or Launceston takes a comfortable one hour and 20 minutes<\/strong>. From Sydney, the flight takes around one hour and 50 minutes, which is still a very easy and quick journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ferry offers a completely different experience and is popular with travellers bringing their own or a rented car from the mainland. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spiritoftasmania.com.au\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Spirit of Tasmania<\/a> sails from Geelong near Melbourne to Devonport in the north, covering 448 km across the notoriously rough Bass Strait. The crossing usually takes nine to 11 hours, <strong>the cheapest adult ticket starts at AUD 109<\/strong>, and most services run overnight so you don\u2019t lose a day. Although fleet modernisation has been discussed for years, <strong>the new ships are not operating yet and passengers still use the older but reliable vessels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re considering taking a rental car on the ferry, check the terms and conditions carefully. <strong>Most major mainland rental companies strictly prohibit taking their vehicles on the ferry<\/strong>, so you\u2019ll probably need to hire a car once you reach the island. Either way, <strong>a car is practically essential for exploring Tasmania<\/strong>, as public transport outside the main cities is very limited. Travellers arriving on the night ferry usually spend their first night in Devonport, while air passengers generally stay in Hobart or Launceston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Tasmania_Accommodation_Bases_Worth_Considering\"><\/span>12 Tasmania Accommodation Bases Worth Considering<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now for the main part. I\u2019ve chosen <strong>twelve strategic places<\/strong> that make it easiest to explore the island. You certainly don\u2019t need to sleep in all of them\u2014just choose the ones that fit your itinerary and pace. For every base, I\u2019ve also included specific <strong>Tasmania accommodation<\/strong> tips, whether you\u2019re looking for luxury, a family-friendly stay or simply a clean bed for the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that, especially in high season, <strong>rooms disappear incredibly quickly<\/strong>. Tasmania is not a destination where you can wait until sunset to look for a place to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab3be385ad2f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab3be385ad2f\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-06.jpg\" alt=\"Hobart harbour\" class=\"wp-image-395306\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-06.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-06-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-06-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-06-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-06-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-06-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-06-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-06-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-06-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: eGuide Travel \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY 2.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Hobart\"><\/span>1.

The majestic kunanyi rises directly above the city and offers fantastic views on a clear day. The beautiful botanical gardens and the historic Cascades Female Factory are also worth visiting. From Hobart, you can easily take <strong>day trips to Bruny Island<\/strong> or the ruins of Port Arthur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an ideal base for your first days after arriving, when you need to adjust, stock up on supplies and take in the relaxed local atmosphere. <strong>It suits food lovers, history fans and anyone who enjoys a little city life<\/strong>, although Hobart is still peaceful compared with Sydney. If you\u2019re looking for complete wilderness and solitude, don\u2019t stay longer than two nights before heading to the national parks.

The town has a rich history, beautiful colonial buildings, a small local museum and excellent caf\u00e9s. Long sandy beaches near town are often almost deserted, unlike those in the famous national park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Swansea is a great base for travellers who want to explore the east coast at their own pace. <strong>It suits families with children and older couples<\/strong> who prefer a slower rhythm and easy access to essential services. Freycinet National Park is about a 45-minute drive away, which is perfectly manageable for a morning trip. It isn\u2019t ideal for backpackers looking for nightlife: after 8 pm, the town settles into deep sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guests seeking romance and privacy often choose wonderful <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii&#038;hotelname=Wagners%20Cottages&#038;address=Swansea%2C%20Austr%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Wagners Cottages<\/a>, with a flawless Google rating of 5 (87 reviews)<\/strong>.

You\u2019ll also find the spectacular Bicheno Blowhole, where pressurised water shoots high into the air, as well as excellent snorkelling conditions. The town feels pleasantly holiday-like, with plenty of good bakeries and caf\u00e9s for refuelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bicheno is a perfect base for families with younger children and anyone wanting a classic Australian coastal experience. <strong>It\u2019s a great starting point for East Coast Natureworld<\/strong> and morning trips to nearby Douglas-Apsley National Park.

As mentioned above, it has <strong>its own entry system and a compulsory shuttle bus<\/strong>, so you cannot drive your own car to the lake during visiting hours. Weather changes by the minute, and even in midsummer you may encounter icy wind or a snow shower, so layers are essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staying in the Cradle Mountain area is strategically important if you want to start hiking early or return from the mountains in the evening. <strong>This base is essential for hikers and photographers<\/strong>, as the morning mist over the lake is magical. It is also the place where you need to book furthest ahead: <strong>in high season, everything can sell out months in advance<\/strong>.

It isn\u2019t suitable for travellers with a packed itinerary, because getting here from the north or east takes a long time on winding mountain roads.

The town has a pleasant waterfront promenade, a lighthouse at Mersey Bluff and serves as northern Tasmania\u2019s main transport and commercial hub. While it isn\u2019t a place you visit primarily for natural beauty, its practical importance cannot be ignored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll mainly use Devonport in two situations, both purely logistical. <strong>It is an ideal first-night base if you have just arrived on the night ferry<\/strong> and are too tired for a long inland drive. It\u2019s equally logical for your final night if you have an early morning sailing back to Melbourne. Tourists rarely stay longer, as nearby areas such as Cradle Mountain and Launceston offer more appealing ways to spend your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the best the area offers, reviewers love <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&#038;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&#038;campaign=kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii&#038;hotelname=The%20Cove%20Tasmania&#038;address=Devonport%2C%20Austr%C3%A1lie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">The Cove Tasmania<\/a>, rated 4.9 on Google (387 reviews)<\/strong>, just outside town with luxurious ocean views.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When choosing bases, think about day trips to places where sleeping is impossible or requires special logistics. A good example is <strong>the Tasman Peninsula, home to the historic <a href=\"https:\/\/portarthur.org.au\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Port Arthur<\/a><\/strong>, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its convict history. Its peaceful setting and beautifully preserved ruins attract many visitors. Although you can stay nearby, most travellers visit on a day trip from Hobart, about an hour and a half away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Beautiful Maria Island National Park is a special case, as all cars are strictly prohibited<\/strong>. You can reach the island only by ferry from Triabunna (about 30 minutes; a return ticket costs AUD 59 for an adult and AUD 36.50 for a child). Leave your car on the mainland and continue on foot or by bicycle, accompanied by wombats and historic ruins\u2014a wonderfully charming combination. <strong>The only accommodation is a very basic campsite or an old hostel without electricity<\/strong>, so if you want comfort, stay in Triabunna and visit the island as a day trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another popular day trip from Hobart is <strong>Bruny Island, a paradise for foodies<\/strong>, with a lighthouse and dramatic cliffs. Try local artisan cheeses, excellent apples and cider, as well as the fresh oysters farmed in the cool bays. You can take a car across on the small ferry, but many people visit for the day and return to the comfort of their Hobart base in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab3be385fba9&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab3be385fba9\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-20.jpg\" alt=\"Autumn colours in the Tasmanian wilderness\" class=\"wp-image-395320\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-20.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-20-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-20-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-20-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-20-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-20-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-20-1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Aliaksei Semirski \/ Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_Book_and_What_to_Avoid\"><\/span>When to Book and What to Avoid<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you travel to Tasmania has a major effect on hotel prices and how far ahead you need to book. <strong>The main summer season runs from December to February<\/strong>, when the island enjoys around 15 hours of daylight\u2014ideal for long drives and hikes. Accommodation is most expensive then, Australian holidaymakers fill the island and bushfire season is a serious concern. In summer, you must book in small locations such as Coles Bay, Cradle Mountain and Strahan months ahead, or you may find yourself without a room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spring and autumn are a fantastic compromise if you want to save money and enjoy steadier weather without the crowds. <strong>Autumn colours the mountain trees in incredible shades of yellow and orange<\/strong>, which photographers heading to Cradle Mountain will especially appreciate. Winter, peaking in July and August, brings significantly lower hotel prices and the chance to see the Southern Lights (Aurora Australis) in the south. However, <strong>mountain roads can ice over in winter, and snow may fall on kunanyi surprisingly even in summer<\/strong>, so warm clothing is essential all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6ab3be3860322&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6ab3be3860322\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1350\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-21.jpg\" alt=\"Saturday Salamanca Market in Hobart\" class=\"wp-image-395321\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-21.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-21-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-21-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-21-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-21-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-21-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-21-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-21-696x522.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/australie-clanky-kde-bydlet-na-tasmanii-21-1392x1044.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Nick-D \/ Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA 4.0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Eat\"><\/span>Where to Eat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although this article is mainly about accommodation, a trip wouldn\u2019t be complete without good food.

If you have ten days in Tasmania, choose four strategic locations. For a full two-week circuit around the entire island, it&#8217;s ideal to spread your accommodation across five to six different bases to minimize long and tiring drives between regions.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787513819001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_Holiday_Parks_Pass_worth_it\"><\/span>Is the Holiday Parks Pass worth it?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, the two-month Holiday Pass for <strong>98.35 AUD per vehicle<\/strong> pays for itself by your third national park visit. It&#8217;s demonstrably the <strong>best value option for the vast majority of tourists<\/strong> who drive around the island and want to see as much nature as possible. But don&#8217;t forget one important thing: this pass doesn&#8217;t include the mandatory shuttle bus in Cradle Mountain National Park, which you have to purchase separately.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787513819002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_should_I_sleep_the_first_night\"><\/span>Where should I sleep the first night?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It depends entirely on your chosen mode of transport. If you fly to the island from the mainland, your first base will <strong>automatically be Hobart or Launceston<\/strong>. However, if you arrive on the overnight Spirit of Tasmania ferry, your first stop will be the port city of Devonport, where you can comfortably rest after the long voyage.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787513819003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_a_car\"><\/span>Do I need a car?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, renting a car is <strong>practically essential<\/strong> for fully exploring the island. Public transport works reasonably well between the largest cities, but you <strong>simply won&#8217;t reach<\/strong> the national parks and more remote natural attractions <strong>without your own vehicle<\/strong>. However, consider renting a car directly on the island, as many mainland rental companies prohibit taking vehicles on the ferry.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787513819004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_should_I_stay_near_Cradle_Mountain\"><\/span>Where should I stay near Cradle Mountain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>From a logistical standpoint, it&#8217;s best to sleep <strong>as close to the park entrance as possible<\/strong>, ideally in accommodations like Cradle Highlander or Discovery Resorts. This saves you very precious morning hours and lets you head out to Dove Lake earlier, <strong>before the trails fill with crowds of tourists<\/strong>. However, capacity here is extremely limited, so book well in advance.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787513819005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_should_I_stay_for_Wineglass_Bay\"><\/span>Where should I stay for Wineglass Bay?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The absolutely ideal base is <strong>the town of Coles Bay<\/strong>, which sits right at the entrance to the famous Freycinet National Park. If you can&#8217;t find availability there, an excellent and somewhat quieter alternative is nearby <strong>historic Swansea or the more laid-back surfer town of Bicheno<\/strong>, from where you can comfortably drive to the bay in just under an hour.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787513819006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Tasmania_expensive_for_accommodation\"><\/span>Is Tasmania expensive for accommodation?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Hotel prices on the island change dramatically depending on the season. In the summer months <strong>from December to February<\/strong> and during all public holidays, prices rise sharply and accommodation ranks among the most expensive in all of Australia. Conversely, <strong>in winter you can find very attractive discounts<\/strong> even at the best premium resorts and boutique hotels.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787513819007\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_should_I_book\"><\/span>When should I book?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re planning your trip during peak Tasmanian summer, from December to February, you should book hotels <strong>many months in advance<\/strong>. This is especially true for <strong>small and highly popular locations<\/strong> like Coles Bay, the Cradle Mountain mountain area, or remote Strahan on the wild west coast of the island, where capacity disappears at lightning speed.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787513819008\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_sleep_on_Maria_Island\"><\/span>Can you sleep on Maria Island?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>On the island itself there are absolutely no conventional hotels and there&#8217;s a <strong>strict ban on cars<\/strong>. You can only spend the night there in your own tent at a basic campground or in an <strong>old convict barracks with no access to electricity<\/strong>. The vast majority of tourists therefore prefer more comfortable accommodation in the port town of Triabunna on the mainland and only make a day trip here.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1787513819009\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_safe_to_drive_after_dark\"><\/span>Is it safe to drive after dark?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Night driving across the entire island is <strong>strongly discouraged<\/strong> due to the huge amount of wildlife that crosses roads after dark. If you absolutely must drive, the maximum recommended speed is just 65 km\/h. Always plan your route so you arrive at your next base safely in full daylight, avoiding unnecessary stress.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Planning a Tasmania road trip?
