Where to Stay in Tasmania – West Coast
Resorts, hotels, and accommodation options in Tasmania – West Coast
Accommodation Overview
The West Coast and King Island offer limited but characterful accommodation that reflects the remote and wild nature of the region. King Island's Currie provides motels, B&Bs, and holiday houses, with the island's small population ensuring a personal and intimate accommodation experience. The island's accommodation should be booked well in advance, particularly during the summer months. Strahan, on the mainland West Coast, offers quality hotels, motels, and the charming Strahan Village accommodation complex with restaurants and tour booking facilities. The broader West Coast has limited accommodation options, with wilderness lodges and holiday houses available in small towns along the Lyell Highway. For those seeking to dive Port Davey, liveaboard-style charters departing from Hobart or Strahan provide the only accommodation option in this extraordinarily remote area. Advance booking is essential for all West Coast accommodation.
