Glamping in Bruny Island

·

On Bruny Island, glamping means waking up to the sound of sea birds and drifting off under a sky full of stars, all without giving up the comforts you actually want. With over 25 glamping options here, you’ll find safari tents and bell tents tucked into eucalypt groves or perched above the shoreline—often with hot showers, wifi, and pet-friendly spots as standard. Prices start at $20 but the average sits around $190 a night. Swimming, wildlife-watching, and hiking are all within arm’s reach, with plenty of walks that lead straight from camp to empty beaches or lookout points. If you want recommendations from fellow travellers, check out Base Camp Tasmania (78 reviews), PC Campsites Taranna (61 reviews), or Valleydew Accomodation. (54 reviews)—local favourites for a reason. Facilities are usually clean and straightforward, and rubbish bins are easy to find. Pack for quick weather changes, bring a torch, and get ready to swap stories by the fire while wallabies graze nearby.

Port Arthur, TAS · 105 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Few places are as ruggedly beautiful and steeped in history as the Tasman Peninsula, and NRMA Port Arthur Holiday Park is at its heart. Located in the very spot where convicts once tended to vegetable gardens, the park’s waterfront, bushland location is special in more ways than one. There’s plenty to entertain the kids right here in the park, but our unique surroundings conceal treasures you’ll delight in finding. Hear the whispers of yesterday at World Heritage-listed colonial sites. Hike through coastal wilderness to the tallest sea cliffs in the country, pounded by the Southern Ocean far below. View those same sea stacks from a speed boat, salt spray glistening on your awe-struck face. Our welcoming hosts are on-site to help make your Tasman Peninsula trip unforgettable.

Bonnet Hill, TAS · 1 site
Located just a 20 minute drive from the Hobart CBD, this beautiful 0.67 hectare coastal bush property is set in a little valley right by Kingston Beach, Browns River and Tyndall Beach. It's just a short 5 minute stroll down the road to the beach, or up the road to the start of the Alum Cliffs Track. Activities you can enjoy here include birdwatching, bushwalking, swimming, kayaking, fishing, sailing, bike riding, dog walking. You'll be staying in a fairly new comfortable bedroom with ensuite bathroom tucked under my house. There's a double bed made up with fresh linen. You'll enjoy hot showers, a flushing toilet and almost complete privacy. There's mains water. With prior notice, you could use the washing machine inside the house and hang your clothes on the clothes line strung between trees. Parking for two cars and/or caravan/campervan is easy. A circular driveway surrounds the house with a driveway extension. I hope to build an outside kitchen at the nearby shed, but for now campers need to be self-contained for their cooking and washing up, or else take the short walk to Kingston Beach and the excellent cafes and restaurants there. Food scraps need to go in a compost bin on site. Visitors are welcome to enjoy a fire when conditions allow it. Longer pieces of firewood are provided free of charge and kindling can easily be collected from around. (I'd rather you didn't use the shorter pieces of cut firewood as they are for my wood heater). You could enjoy a wood fired bush bath for a small charge, conditions allowing, with advance notice. Early evening is the best time to enjoy a bush bath and star gazing with set up in the afternoon. Wildlife is abundant and includes birds, wallabies, possums, echidnas and bandicoots. You are welcome to bring your small dog, but please ensure it's under control at all times. Wildlife are at risk if your dog is a hunter and roams free. Tyndall Beach (the Kingston dog beach) down the road is where your furry friends can have a run. Walk them to the beach on a lead and let them off there. I have an older Jack Russell who is afraid of big dogs, sorry. I think this is the perfect place to experience a little bush luxury before beginning or ending your Tassie adventures. I look forward to meeting you!
