Off the southern coast of Australia, some 310 mi (498 km) away from Melbourne, the wildly beautiful Tasmania is now on almost every traveller’s bucket list. The heart-shaped island has become a must-visit destination, attracting an increasing number of visitors all year round. It’s a natural paradise with its mountainous western side and home to the famous Cradle Mountain as well as alpine lakes, steep gorges, and wild rivers. The flatter portion that goes from Launceston down to Hobart, cutting the island on its eastern side, features rainforests, swampland, and waterfalls that are just a prelude to the eastern sunny coast with its pristine beaches and amazing surf spots. If this isn’t enough to entice you, just know that the world-famous Australian wildlife abounds here and the infamous “Tasmanian devils.” Put your exploring boots on and check out our list of the top cabin accommodations in Tasmania, Australia.
