Saffire Freycinet features just 20 luxury suites with breathtaking views of the pink-hued Hazards Mountains and Great Oyster Bay, along with a luxury day spa and signature experiences focused on connecting guests to place through nature, culture and produce. The all-inclusive model means meals, a stocked minibar and a curated program of activities are built into every stay. Think shucking oysters fresh from the bay in waders, guided walks with a Palawa elder, or a Tassie Devil conservation experience. Conceived to blend seamlessly with the contours of the Freycinet coastline, the lodge's sweeping form was crafted so that floor-to-ceiling windows frame the pink granite of the Hazards Mountains from every suite.

There are few places more isolated than Pumphouse Point, a hotel set in a converted hydroelectric station. One of the main reasons people travel to Tasmania is to escape busy routines and immerse themselves in soul-enriching wilderness. You have the choice of three abodes to unwind in: the coastal ‘Shorehouse’, the ‘Pumphouse’ (which involves a 250-metre walkway over Australia’s deepest lake) and the hidden-away private ‘Retreat’. Floor-to-ceiling windows take in stunning landscapes. There’s a lake on one side and forests on the other, often covered in snow during winter. This Tasmanian hotel spoils guests with honesty bars, libraries and communal dining rooms where guests can meet each other and swap notes about their adventures. Or, take a hike or borrow the dingy for a day of rowing.

In the heart of the magnificent D'Entrecasteaux Channel in southern Tasmania lies a small island of immense beauty, with sheer sea cliffs falling away to pristine water and wild shellfish found in the ancient rock shelf that circles the island. The key difference between Satellite Island and everywhere else on this list: the island is exclusively yours for each stay, accommodating up to eight guests across a summer house, boathouse and luxury bell tent. Kayaks, fishing rods, wild oysters off the rocks and a well-stocked pantry and spirits cabinet are all included. You can even arrange for a local chef to come over and cook. Accessible by boat from Bruny Island, which is a 20-minute ferry ride from Hobart.

Freycinet National Park is one of Tasmania's must-see destinations, with coastal vistas, excellent hiking and some of the most serene swimming spots in the country. Freycinet Lodge's Coastal Pavilions offer a superb blend of natural simplicity and ultimate comfort, with king bed configuration, outdoor bathtub, separate living area and expansive deck, and because the pavilions are nestled among the trees, the outdoor bathtub feels all the more private. Choose from pavilions facing the coastal bush or those with bay views across Great Oyster Bay. Either way, oversized hammocks on the deck make it difficult to leave.

In Hadspen, just ten minutes from Launceston, the Red Feather Inn has a story that dates back to 1842 when it was built with convict labour. The historic sandstone inn has a mix of Georgian and French inspiration across its accommodation options from private suites to converted stables to cosy cottages. What sets it apart is the on-site cooking school, where classes range from sausage making and butchering through to pasta and Thai cooking, running year-round with visiting guest chefs. Note that between October and May the inn is reserved for guests of the Cradle Mountain Huts Walk; individual bookings open up from June to September.
