Reasons to holiday in Tasmania

What comes to mind when you think about Tasmania? For most, it is natural beauty, wildlife, and fresh oysters – but does it make you think about going on holiday?

Tasmania makes for a great holiday and if you’ve never been before, here’s your sign!

Regent Park Apartments is conveniently located in Sandy Bay, just a few minutes from downtown Hobart. The 14 units are surrounded by a charming garden with beaches and public transport on your doorstep.

And once you venture beyond the resort, there’s so much to see and taste that you’ll be planning your return before you’ve even left. Here are some of our top suggestions:

Wildlife

Take a scenic drive around Tasmania, and if you’ve got an eager eye, you might spot wombats, echidnas, and quolls! For a guaranteed close-up encounter, visit one of the many wildlife sanctuaries dedicated to protecting and caring for native species.

Support local

Who doesn’t love a stroll around a quaint town? These towns are great for soaking up history and exploring independent shops. Many towns also feature weekend markets, so be sure to check local listings before you visit.

Food

If you’re a food lover, then you’ll love Tasmania. Renowned as a world-class foodie destination, it is full of fresh oysters, locally made cheeses, and honey – just to name a few!

Wineries & Distilleries

You'll be spoilt for choice with wineries, particularly if you're a fan of sparkling wine, as the cooler climate is perfect for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes.

Prefer whiskey? You're in the right place, with over 70 distilleries—making it the state in Australia with the highest number of distilleries!
