Tasmania is a sparsely populated state, with a large area of the island protected by National Park status. A holiday here will appeal to anyone who wants to escape the bustle of everyday life and enjoy rugged landscapes, wildlife, and some of Australia's best food and drink.
The island's capital, Hobart, offers a mix of modern holiday apartments in the city centre and larger, detached holiday houses on the outskirts of town. Countryside properties are generously spacious, often standing in extensive grounds and offering superb coastal or country views.
