The 5 best bathtub views in Australia

Whether you’re in need of a break are searching for bathroom ideas, these incredible bathtubs around Australia are the perfect reason to a head on a weekend escape.

While the temptation to flee overseas for a week-long escape is often not avoidable, sometimes you just need a couple of days outside of the city. Here are the best weekend escapes featuring beautiful tubs with incredible views so you can kick back and dream of how you might add something similar to your own home.

1. Thalia Haven, Tasmania

Located on the East Coast of Tasmania far away from any cities or major towns, Thalia Haven is the perfect oasis for a group or family trip. There are several bedrooms on the property that you can enjoy all to yourself, and the house is equipped with a full-size kitchen. There’s no wi-fi and no televisions on the property, making this the perfect place to unplug and switch off from reality.

A highlight here is the outdoor bathing – a bathtub sits on the deck outside the home’s main pavilion. You can enjoy a soak overlooking the ocean – even more incredible underneath the night sky. Bliss.
