Entertainment Membership – Save $300+ on Your Tasmania Holiday
A holiday in Tasmania isn’t cheap, which is why I love the Entertainment Membership so much!
It easily pays for itself in savings and is a great way of keeping your budget under control, allowing you and your family to experience the best tours, attractions and dining Tasmania has to offer.

Are you drowning in amazing photos of Tasmania’s pristine wilderness? Feeling inspired by all the travel stories from fellow travellers? Dreaming of that first morning of your road trip and waking up to a spectacular Tassie sunrise?
The anticipation would have to be one of my favourite things about planning a holiday!
But at the same time there is always a tiny voice whispering in my ear every time I add an exciting tour, an interesting restaurant, or a fun activity to my itinerary…
“Can I afford it?”
When I’m on holidays all I want to do is enjoy myself and have as many memorable experiences as possible.
If only we all had unlimited funds… but the reality is that saving money on a holiday is a big priority for everyone – and especially families.
At the same time, it’s not all doom and gloom, because I’ve found a great way of experiencing Tasmania’s best attractions while saving hundreds of dollars at the same time – the Entertainment Membership!
Back in the day it used to be called the Entertainment Book, and that’s exactly what it was – a book full of vouchers for your city or region that would score you savings across restaurants, hotels, cafes, tours, attractions, and even car servicing and dry-cleaning.
My wife and I bought a book religiously every year and found it very useful for keeping our ‘foodie’ budget under a vague semblance of control. It’s a pity it couldn’t do the same for our waistlines!
More recently they have gone completely digital, so instead of having to carry around a bulky book you can download the app to your phone or tablet instead. It is incredibly convenient to have access to all the special offers right at your fingertips!
There are two annual membership options available:
- Single City – $70 – The best choice if you only plan on visiting either Hobart or Launceston (not both)
- Multi City – $120 – Perfect if you are doing a full lap, visiting both Hobart and Launceston, or you are keen on using the membership when you return home.
Your purchase helps me keep the Lap of Tasmania online – I really appreciate your support!
How much will you save with an Entertainment Membership?
Quick Answer: You can easily save more than $130 per day with an Entertainment Membership in Tasmania.
When the Entertainment Membership went fully digital I was a little unsure whether it would represent the same value as the old book. But after buying a Multi City membership and reviewing all the options I very quickly realised that it still represents amazing value and pays for itself in no time at all.
There are a few types of offer available, but the majority are either:
- Buy 1 Ticket | Get 1 Free – Fantastic for tours and attractions
- 25% OFF – Ideal when dining out
To get a feel for the discounts available and how much you might save, I have created mini-itineraries for Tassie’s main tourist regions (offers and prices are correct as of early 2026). As you will see, it takes no effort to save bucket-loads at places you would have had on your itinerary anyway!
My calculations are based on an adult couple, so families and large groups (up to 4 people) can save even more than what I show below.

Save on Hotels in Tasmania
One aspect I haven’t even mentioned yet is the big discounts you can get on hotel accommodation across Tasmania.
When you purchase a membership you also gain access to special rates for hotels provided by:
- Adina
- Travelodge
- Vibe
- Hyatt
- Rendezvous
Many hotels are providing discounts of up to 20% for properties located across southern and northern Tasmania.
It’s another great way of saving money and keeping your budget under control.
FAQs – Frequently asked questions
I often get asked about the details of an Entertainment Membership and how it all works. So I thought I might provide answers to those questions here…
Final thoughts on an Entertainment Membership
I hope you’ve found this article useful in explaining what an Entertainment Membership is, and how it works. I don’t know about you, but I think an Entertainment Membership is the perfect companion for a road trip around Tasmania – and even back home once your holiday is over!
I couldn’t believe how quickly the savings started stacking up with a meal here and a tour there. I’m guessing that on a 7-day holiday you could easily save at least $300 – and plenty more if you’re travelling with family or a group of friends.
Sound good to you? Lock it in Eddie!
Thank you for your support!
If you have any questions at all about the membership please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me over at our Lap of Tasmania Facebook Group or by email – I’m only too happy to help.
Happy road tripping!

When only a map will do…
Tasmania’s remote location means there are internet ‘black spots’ across the island.
A paper map is the perfect backup, and I love the range from HEMA and Lonely Planet.
My HEMA maps are sourced through the wonderful team at Adventure Awaits, and they are providing Lappers with a generous 10% OFF when you use the links below, or the LAPOFTAS code on checkout!
