Tasmania holidays
Australia's 'Natural State'' cleansed by the purest oceans and the freshest air in the world, Tasmania is the closest place left to the Garden of Eden. More than 40% of the island is protected in reserves and national parks - visitors can step out of their car into primeval forests, or onto captivatingly attractive beaches. Stay in one of the stylish new hotels and discover this stunning wilderness, along with its rich colonial history and delicious cuisine.
