Hobart Airport Campervan Hire, Tasmania

Compare & Book RV Rentals at Hobart Airport, Australia

Hobart is the capital city of the Australian Island State of Tasmania.  Just a short airplane ride from any major mainland Australian city; Hobart is on the south coast of “Tassie”, as the locals call it.  Nearly half of Tasmania is made-up of national parks and World Heritage Areas making it an ideal location for exploring by campervan hire or motorhome rental from Hobart, with more scenic drives than you can possibly use.

Of course, this also means that simply landing and jumping in any old motorhome hire in Hobart isn’t recommended. First and foremost, you’ll be doing yourself a disservice by not being able to fully appreciate Hobart itself, but on a more pragmatic level, GPS isn’t always an option in some of the more rural areas of Tasmania, so some sort of pre-planning will be required. With a little forward planning it is possible to explore the entire Island in a couple of weeks.

You can reserve your motorhome or campervan rental online before you travel; and then pick up the keys from your Hobart airport campervan hire and recreational vehicle (RV) rental depot. 

The roads in Tasmania snake through beautiful landscape; but can be tiring as they are meandering two lane stretches and in places can be narrow, so make sure to take a rest when you need it and prepare to share the driving if possible. 

The local advice is to always plan for the trip to take longer than expected.

There are holiday parks and caravan and camping sites that will accept rental motorhomes, hire campervans and recreational vehicles with truly amazing locations and facilities throughout Tasmania.

Stay after dark and check out the Port Arthur Ghost tour, bet you’ll be sleeping with the lights on…

Tasmanian Devil Conservation Park

Once native to mainland Australia these beguiling little critters are only found in the wild in Tasmania. The Tasmanian Devil Conservation Park also takes care of other endangered species and they have the odd ‘roo hopping about too, and you can all have a go feeding them! Kids will love it.

Mount Field National Park

Perfect for your self-drive RV holiday in Tasmania, Mount Field National Park is close to Hobart and, once you’re here, there are campgrounds on hand to get you deep into the scenery. It’s packed full of natural treasures and home to some of the world’s tallest trees. Stunning.

How about dolomite caves (accessible to all ages) which are home to spectacular subterranean formations, located close to a natural thermal swimming pool consisting of mineral-rich spring water. Hastings Caves and Hot Springs is the ultimate dip.

Richmond Village

Close to Hobart and arguably the best places to learn about Tasmania’s modern history, this pretty town nestling in the idyllic surroundings of Coal River Valley isn’t just about its convict past with the oldest gaol and bridge in Australia, Richmond is just as much about fantastic food and indulgent wines.

Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park

It doesn’t really matter when you visit Cradle Mountain, every season reveals another layer of ludicrous beauty but autumn – when the ancient forests and deciduous Fagus turn their leaves- might just have the edge. Don’t take our word for it, hire a motorhome in Hobart and discover for yourself.

Strahan Village

Tasmania’s dark, yet fascinating, history provides the foundation for Strahan village, now a bustling tourist destination famed for its harbourside views and shops selling local wares and delicious produce.

Before you head into Franklin–Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, ensure you visit Sarah Island and discover her shadowy secrets.

Huon Valley

If you’re after an authentic Tasmanian scenic drive from your campervan rental in Hobart, you may have found your calling.

It’s virtually impossible not to find the perfect road in this neck of the woods, but the short hop between Franklin and Port Huon to the Huon Valley could be the best one.

Tahune Forest Airwalk

More delights from the Huon Valley… Okay, this elevated walkway 30 metres above the forest floor isn’t going to be a treat for everyone, far from it if you don’t like heights (and a medium degree of exertion) but Tahune Forest Airwalk with spectacular views of the Huon and Picton fortune the brave.

Mount Wellington

Rent a motorhome in Hobart and drive up a mountain! A scenic drive with a touch of adventure, or peril, is the 1.265m (4,150ft) drive up Mount Wellington (or Kunanyi) via Pinnacle Road. It can get very cold up there, even if warm in Hobart, so be prepared.

Salamanca Place

Formally a rather dubious cobblestone square in Sullivan’s Cove, on Hobart’s waterfront, Salamanca Place is now home to a vibrant, thriving arts scene featuring galleries and theatres, cafés and bars.

Drop by on Saturday for the market, maybe a spot of impromptu shopping and treat yourself to something nice.
