THINGS TO DO

On our property, in our area, or within a day's drive.

From spending time in nature on our property, to exploring the tourist areas within driving distance, BCT is a fantastic base to do it all.

Base Camp Tasmania is a unique bush retreat. While only a 45 minute drive from Hobart, you will feel like you are completely in the wilderness when arriving at our property. Keep busy exploring our 41 hectares of land, spend time in the nearby town of New Norfolk, or drive a little further to visit many of Tasmania's top tourist sites.
