Whatever the result, being recognised among Australia’s best tourism towns two years running is something our whole community can be incredibly proud of.

A huge congratulations to everyone who has played a part in showcasing Deloraine and our beautiful Meander Valley on the national stage.

Congratulations to Deloraine on once again being crowned Tasmania's Top Small Tourism Town! 🏆🎉

This year, the Meander Valley Business & Tourism Association threw everything into creating two outstanding submissions for both Deloraine and Westbury. While Westbury was just pipped at the post, a win for Deloraine is a win for the entire Meander Valley.

This award is a wonderful recognition of what makes our region so special—our welcoming community, passionate businesses, dedicated volunteers, rich history, stunning natural landscapes and the unforgettable experiences we offer visitors.

This achievement would not have been possible without the incredible commitment of the volunteers and committee of the Meander Valley Business & Tourism Association who generously give their time and expertise to champion our region and prepare this award submission.

We also extend our sincere thanks to Meander Valley Council, Visit Northern Tasmania and the Tourism Industry Council Tasmania for their valued support and collaboration. Working together is what continues to strengthen our visitor economy and showcase the very best of the Meander Valley.

Most importantly, congratulations to our businesses, community groups, event organisers, residents and everyone who helps make Deloraine such a remarkable place to visit and live. This award belongs to all of you.

Here's to celebrating this incredible achievement and continuing to share the heart of the Meander Valley with visitors from across Tasmania and beyond. ❤️

Deloraine is now a finalist in the national top tourism awards in September!

Congratulations to Deloraine, WINNER of Tassie’s Small Tourism Town for 2026, with thanks to awards partner Bishopp and category sponsor Tasmanian Vacations!

Deloraine, nestled in Tasmania’s Meander Valley, blends heritage charm with wild beauty. Cradled by the Meander River beneath the Great Western Tiers / Kooparoona niara, this ‘Short Walks Capital’ invites visitors to slow down and savour life. Stroll art lined streets, river walks and the historic Folk Museum; then explore nearby Liffey Falls, glow worm caves, and Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary. Farm gate honesty boxes, truffle farms, cool climate wines and country pubs celebrate fertile farmland and community warmth, while crystal clear night skies sparkle overhead. Deloraine invites you to slow down and savour life’s simplest joys.
