Tasmania does Airbnbs a little differently. Firstly, many stays boast perfect – or very nearly perfect – ratings. Secondly, there doesn’t appear to be any clear correlation between rating and price, meaning that our beautiful Tasmania might just be the perfect place to live the high life on a budget – if you know where to stay.

Little Crabtree
5.0 stars
$220 per night
Described as a “modern twist in country Tasmania”, and a “unique take on simplicity”, this space was built to impress.
This small home is located just 35 minutes from Hobart but feels as though it could be a million miles away from any civilisation. You’ll share the property and its private creek with the occasional platypus, countless pademelons and cheeky quolls. While the property does have wifi, it’s doesn’t have a TV or other devices, making it the perfect place to embrace the outdoors and make the most of the nearby bush trails.
