Whether you’re arriving in Tasmania or preparing to head home, BIG4 Hobart Airport Tourist Park offers the perfect place to rest, recharge and begin your adventure. Just minutes from Hobart International Airport and only a 15-minute drive into the city, the park combines convenience with comfort.
Guests can choose from fully equipped two-bedroom self-contained cabins or powered and ensuite sites for campervans and caravans. A complimentary shuttle service operates between 9am and 5pm, transporting guests to nearby car, motorhome and campervan hire companies at the airport — making transitions seamless.
The park is also pet friendly, welcoming dogs on grassed powered sites, so furry companions don’t miss out.
For travellers arriving with bikes, the shuttle service is particularly valuable. The team can also store bike boxes or bags (subject to availability), allowing guests to explore Tasmania’s renowned mountain biking destinations such as Blue Derby Trails, Maydena Bike Park and Wild Mersey Mountain Bike Trails without hassle.
Autumn in Tasmania brings crisp days, calm evenings and spectacular sunsets that light up the sky in rich oranges, pinks and golds. March remains one of the warmer months of the year, and daylight savings until April means longer evenings to explore.
From the park, unforgettable autumn day trips are within easy reach. Guests can witness the turning Fagus at Mount Field National Park, explore the historic Port Arthur Historic Site, sample fresh produce on Bruny Island or enjoy the golden-hued vineyards of the Huon Valley. Closer to Hobart, the world-renowned Museum of Old and New Art and the bustling Salamanca Markets are must-see attractions, both easily accessible.
As the season settles in, the pace softens across the region. Harvest time brings apples in the Huon Valley, fresh strawberries near Richmond and vibrant seasonal markets such as the Heartlands Autumn Festival. Motorsport fans can experience the thrill of Targa Tasmania in April, while outdoor enthusiasts make the most of cooler conditions for hiking, kayaking and wildlife spotting. Bruny Island’s rugged coastline glows in golden autumn light, and kunanyi / Mount Wellington offers panoramic views across Hobart — sometimes dusted with early snow.
Easter is one of the park’s favourite times of year. Each Easter morning, the grounds come alive with a whole-of-park Easter egg hunt, festive decorations and a joyful atmosphere for families. All children staying at the park are invited to join the activities free of charge, with recent years seeing over 50 children racing around the park — and even a special visit from the Easter Bunny. It’s a magical way to celebrate the long weekend in the heart of Tasmania.
Although the summer crowds ease during autumn, be sure to book ahead, especially around the Easter long weekend, as accommodation and activities fill quickly.
Pack layers, including thermals, a fleece and a sturdy waterproof or windproof jacket — Tasmania can deliver four seasons in one day, particularly in mountain or coastal areas. A black down puffer jacket, often referred to as the “Tassie tuxedo”, is the versatile uniform of choice for locals and visitors alike.
While Hobart’s CBD is walkable, hiring a car allows you to explore the Huon Valley, Derwent Valley and Tasmania’s East Coast, where Southern Right and Humpback whales begin their annual migration.
From golden autumn sunsets to seamless airport convenience, BIG4 Hobart Airport Tourist Park makes exploring Tasmania easy. It’s the perfect place to begin — or end — your Tassie adventure in comfort.
