Tamar Valley Accommodation

If you’ve arrived on the Spirit of Tasmania, you have made the right choice to start your adventure in the Tamar Valley! The Tamar Valley is the perfect choice for an unforgettable Tasmanian adventure. Whether you have your caravan in tow, or plan to go off-grid with your trusty companion, or stay in a range of accommodations, you're sure to create memories that will last a lifetime.

As you navigate Frankford Road you'll be treated to stunning views, from lush green farms to forests and even glimpses of Bass Strait. After a picturesque drive, you'll reach the town of Exeter, be sure to stop for a pick me up coffee and stock up on some delicious treats from our local produce providers.

Did you know that Exeter was the haunt of the infamous Matthew Brady and you can follow in his footsteps with a visit to Brady’s lookout and there’s a convenient stop for a cider, gin or wine nearby too.

While you are in Exeter, parking your caravan or turning around is easy with plenty of space in front of the high school or at the Community Hub with essentials available from supermarkets, and perhaps a few less desirable but necessary items from the hardware or tool shops. Before continuing on your journey, head to the Tamar Visitor Centre in Exeter for information on the region.

There are numerous free camping spots around the Tamar Valley but if you need dump points, public toilets or an overnight stay in a caravan park we have a handy list to help you map out your necessities.
