Hobart and its surrounds will captivate your senses and allow you to immerse yourself in a range of world class experiences. Beneath the beautiful sandstone facades of the Georgian buildings dotted along the Hobart waterfront, discover an array of fashionable hotels and penthouses, cafes, restaurants, and galleries. And all of this right by the marinas where the rock lobster fishing fleet, cruise ships and pleasure craft dock.

The breadth of Hobart’s experiences is matched only by their ease of access. Hobart has gloriously un-crowded roads, which makes travel to the nearby attractions a breeze. Within a moment, you could find yourself walking among the treetops in the scenic Huon Valley, or exploring the rich heritage and scenery of the Tasman Peninsula, home of Port Arthur and the finest convict ruins in Australia. Drive the East Coast and escape to Freycinet National Park, a paradise of dusky pink mountains, white sand and blue-green sea. It’s one part of the World Heritage-listed wilderness which comprises 17 national parks and takes up one-fifth of the island.

When in Hobart, make sure you visit Salamanca Place in Sullivans Cove, the city’s bustling, waterfront heart. Life here in the 1830s was all about industry, but today this picturesque cobblestone square is a destination for food, art, shopping and music. Wander the galleries and relax under the sun umbrellas.
