Hi! We're planning to go to Tasmania for 2 weeks straight after Christmas this year and are thinking that hiring a campervan could be a good way to get around. Our girls will be 6 and 4 (birthday while we're there!). Anyone done this?? Any tips or traps??
Also, what are the "must see" places in Tasmania? Rough plan at the moment is to fly into Hobart for a couple of nights then do a loop around the state in the van for about 10 nights. We have a few brochures but not much aimed at kids, so we're particularly looking for things they'll really love.
Hopefully we'll have our best friends with their 2 kids (same ages) travelling with us so it should be lots of fun!!
Sounds like fun! I haven't been around Tassie, but some friends have with their kids in a campervan and they had a great time .
In September/October of last year we took our 3 kids on a 6 week trip from Melbourne to Perth (and back) towing our caravan, we had the BEST time!
One thing to think about with a campervan is that once you have set up camp, if you want to go for a drive around to tour the area, you have to pack everything up again, then re-set up when you get back.
Subscribing because we want to do this too! Our plan is to come in by boat, then spend a few days in/around Strahan, then down to Hobart, up to Freycinet and then to Launceston before going back to the boat. We want to spend a few days in each spot to explore. We've just got our camper, so we're watching the boat prices (going to cost a bit to get us over) so will be interested in seeing where you go! It's been over ten years since I was there, and DH has never been.
Kids in a campervan? Tasmania!
