Hobart Guide

What to do with a few days in Hobart.

Where to Stay

Boat Reflections

— Riverside accommodation at Franklin, on the Huon. Black swans on the water, cider and cool-climate wine within a short drive, and little enough light pollution to see the aurora when it is out.

A black and white portrait of a couple on their wedding day, her head resting on his shoulder. Kinda chic to only invite the person you are actually marrying.

Advertise in Hobart Guide

— A directory entry runs for thirty days from $22 including GST, goes live once it is approved, and stays on the site afterwards at a decaying position rather than vanishing. You set the amount and you can change it whenever you like.

The Internet, by Josh Withers

A couple embracing on a clifftop at golden hour above a forested valley. Kinda chic to say your vows with mountain views instead of a reception schedule.
