Tasmania delivers something different in every season. Summer brings long beach days and outdoor adventures. Winter transforms the island into a cosy retreat perfect for fireside reading at Blanca. Here's how to plan your visit around what matters most to you.
Summer in Tasmania (December – February)
Summer is peak season for a reason. Temperatures range from 17°C to 23°C, making it perfect for beach days, bushwalking, and exploring the state's national parks. The east coast, including Weymouth and the Bay of Fires, sees temperatures hovering around 22°C — ideal for swimming.

You'll need to book accommodation well in advance, especially for Christmas and school holidays. If you're planning a summer trip to Blanca Beach House, we recommend securing your dates by October.
Autumn in Tasmania (March – May)
Autumn is our personal favourite at Blanca. The summer crowds thin out, the landscape transforms with golden hues, and temperatures remain comfortable — think 13°C to 18°C.
This is prime time for wine lovers. The Tamar Valley and throughout the state celebrate autumn with harvest festivals and winery events. The cooler temperatures also make it perfect for long coastal walks without the summer heat.
Winter in Tasmania (June – August)
Winter might seem counterintuitive for a beach destination, but it's magical at Blanca. Temperatures drop to 8°C – 13°C, but the property's indoor fire pit, open fireplace, and luxurious linen make it the ideal winter escape.
Weymouth in winter offers empty beaches, dramatic skies, and a peaceful atmosphere. It's the perfect time for quiet beach walks, long dinners in our fully-equipped kitchen, and watching storms roll in from the comfort of the living room.
Spring in Tasmania (September – November)
Spring explodes across Tasmania with wildflowers, newborn farm animals, and temperatures climbing back into the teens. It's a beautiful time to visit, though the weather can be unpredictable.
September brings the first whales migrating up the coast, and by November the landscape is lush and green from winter rains. It's an excellent compromise between summer crowds and winter prices.
Which Season is Right for You?
Here's the quick version:
- Beach + activities = Summer (Dec-Feb)
- Wine + empty beaches = Autumn (Mar-May)
- Cosy + fireside + deals = Winter (Jun-Aug)
- Wildflowers + whales + mild = Spring (Sep-Nov)
No matter when you visit, Tasmania's north east coast delivers. And at Blanca Beach House, we've designed the space to be comfortable in every season.
