So you want to immerse yourself in the Tasmanian wilderness but the thought of creepy crawlies, deflating mattresses and dank pit loos don’t do it for you? We totally get it – not our cup of tea either! But that’s where glamping in Tasmania comes into play. Spend your time revelling in the best parts of nature without forgoing the little luxuries of a hotel. These top four glamping spots in Tasmania will deliver nature, comfort and elegance so you can really make the most of your time away.
1. Domescapes in the Vines
These bubble shaped tents at Domescapes in the Vines are just what you need if you want to soak up the sparkling night sky and surrounding vineyards in the Tamar Valley, without compromising on comfort! Each dome features an ensuite bathroom, soft luxe furnishings, super comfy king-sized bed and a huge clear wall perfect for stargazing so you won’t need to leave (except of course when you venture out to enjoy some wine and cheese in the vineyards!). Best part is they’re built to withstand cold Tassie winters or warm sunny summer days, so you can enjoy glamping in Tasmania year round!
