Hobart Guide

A visitor guide to Hobart: what to see, where to eat and drink, where to stay, and which day trips are worth the drive — Mona, kunanyi, Bruny Island and the Huon.

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 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.

A couple in wedding clothes walking a stone jetty over clear green water beneath a limestone cliff. Kinda chic to spend your wedding budget on an adventure instead of chair covers.

A bride in a lace veil holding a glass of champagne on a Paris balcony with the Eiffel Tower behind her. Kinda chic to have Paris as your backdrop.
