Hobart Accommodation

Hobart, Tasmania’s harbourside capital city, is set on the shores of the breathtaking Derwent River, Australia's deepest harbour, with the stunning Mt Wellington as a backdrop. The southernmost capital city in Australia, Hobart is without doubt one of most beautiful cities in both Tasmania and Australia. In fact, some would say that the whole city of Hobart is an open-air museum and gallery, with its close proximity to the water of the Derwent, the looming mountains, the historic vistas round every corner and the galleries and museums, so often housed in buildings which are themselves works of art and history.
Hobart is a city of sails and sandstone, festivals and flavours – colourful spinnakers on the harbour, fish punts at the docks, fine old 19th century warehouses along Salamanca Place, the fun and music of the waterfront Summer Festival and excellent restaurants highlighting Tasmania’s fine fresh produce. Hobart is the end of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, a spectacular race that finishes at the waterfront every year.
Central Hobart is a delightful centre, easy to navigate, providing a range of competitively priced accomodation ranging from cheap hostels and motels to serviced apartments and luxury boutique hotels . The Hobart airport is 17 kilometres away. The Hobart atmosphere is laid back, accommodation is affordable and the dining so good that it attracts gourmet travellers keen to sample the innovative menus, fine seasonal produce and distinctive local wines. If you're in Hobart on a Saturday morning, don’t miss Salamanca Place. Here you will find 19th-century waterfront warehouses dating back to the 1830s whaling days, now housing cafes, restaurants, galleries and art studios, the ideal place to wander or enjoy alfresco dining, not to forget - Australia’s best outdoor market. Afterwards, see the city from the water on a harbour cruise or enjoy a higher viewpoint from the summit of nearby Mt Nelson or Mt Wellington. Or maybe head down to closeby Battery Point, where polished glass winks in the windows of settlers' cottages and brass doorknobs gleam in the lofty porches of colonial edifices. Wrest Point is your centre for entertainment in Hobart. With four restaurants, six bars, live music every night, some of the hottest international and national acts, and a boutique casino.
