HOTELS, MOTELS AND GUEST-HOUSES: There are international hotels in Hobart and Launceston and a wide range of tourist hotels, motels and guest-houses in all the major centres. Hotels tend to be slightly more expensive in Hobart and Launceston, and in the main tourist areas.

There are numerous camping and caravan sites in Tasmania. It should be noted that camping is not permitted in any roadside picnic or rest areas.

HOSTELS: There is an extensive network of backpacker hostels all over the island.
WILDERNESS LODGES: These are located in wilderness areas, and are designed to blend in with their surroundings. Some offer a high standard of comfort, while others are more humble in style. They also organise activities such as horseriding, wildlife viewing and guided walks.
