We’re all desperate for an escape and with the news of Tasmania’s borders opening up in October, what better time to start planning a getaway down South! The famed apple island has become one of the trendiest destinations for Australian travellers looking for an escape close to home. And if you’re looking for a romantic getaway, these are the coolest airbnbs in Tasmania you can book.
Bruny Island Hideaway
Bruny Island is a small island a short ferry ride off the coast of Tasmania. It is only a short drive from Hobart, making it the perfect weekend escape. Bruny Island Hideaway is a small cabin with architectural flair. From here, you can sample local produce at the many suppliers on the island and make a break for that clean Tassie air.

Captain’s Rest
Captain’s Rest is perhaps the most sought after Airbnb in all of Tasmania. There’s something so magical about this escape on the West Coast of Tasmania that many locals even find their way to the cabin. Finding availability can be difficult on weekends, but there are odd nights available here and there. I’d recommend a minimum of two nights at Captain’s Rest as it is idyllically located a long drive away from any of the major airports. You can fly into Hobart or Launceston and embark on the road trip of a lifetime to the rough and rugged West Coast. Prices start at $370 a night.
