2 Bedroom House - Hobart CBD

If someone were to ask, what does the perfect weekend in Hobart city look like? This is what I would tell you: arrive on Friday, check in to your wonderful accommodation, then eat at one of Tassie’s iconic restaurants (Dier Makr, Fico, Tia Ama, Aloft, Templo- remember to book in advance), followed by Hobart’s bar strip in mid-town (if you’re childless, of course).

On Saturday, I would rise early and take a leisurely stroll through the Salamanca markets, where I would get a takeaway coffee and sample all the doughnuts. After this, I would drive up to the top of Mt Wellington to be blown away. On the way down, I would stop for a drink and a bowl of hot chips at the Fern Tree Tavern. If the weather is not favourable for a mountain summit, then consider attending Bonorong wildlife sanctuary in Brighton.

On Sunday, I'll be heading down to the farmers market on Bathurst Street for baked goods and freshly pressed juice. Then, MONA is of course on the cards – I’d get the ferry from the waterfront, but there is also a bus option, or a carpark on site if you'd prefer to drive. Then, I would spend the rest of the day being weirded out by the museum’s eccentricities. And there’s your perfect weekend.

Locally, you can enjoy the meandering walk along the South Hobart Rivulet and discover the historical Cascade Female Factory, as well as Hobarts iconic Cascade Brewery. Here, you can stop at the bar to sample some of the good stuff, do a brewery tour, or stop for a hearty meal. Stroll back through South Hobart strip to visit the antique shops, trendy cafes, local grocers, all in the shadow of the iconic Mount Wellington.

Mere moments on foot from your stay is the Westside laundry café, where you can do your washing and enjoy a great brunch at the same time. There’s also Hobart’s famous Pigeon Hole Bakery and Hamlet café, just down the road from your stay (on Molle Street).
