Welcome to Banksia Harbour

Tasmanian character, framed by water and sky.

Banksia Harbour pairs contemporary comfort with the honest beauty of Hobart’s working waterfront. Tasmanian oak, local stone, wool and deep ocean tones create an atmosphere of effortless calm.

Begin with breakfast over the harbour, explore Salamanca and the southern coast, restore in the wellness rooms, then return for seasonal dining or a composed evening in our adults-only salon.
