Hobart Treasure Island Caravan Park: Nice location

We stayed here in our Caravan. The location was great, only 10minutes from the city centre, and located on a piece of land jutting out into the River Derwent. Right on the rivers edge, and good views of Mount Wellington. A peaceful spot, with good amenities and a good campers kitchen. Cabins are available here also. Lots of friendly ducks. No nonsense here, the Manager keeps a check on the noise, so this makes for a great stay. Close to everything. Would stay here again.

Woodbridge on the Derwent: Amazing heritage boutique hotel.

This was an amazing, 1825 Gorgian mansion situated right on the banks of the Derwent River, about 25 minutes from the CBD of Hobart (about 40 minutes from Hobart International airport). I found this hotel through Small Luxury Hotels of the world and was not dissappointed.
The food and drink was sorced primarily from local producers (and was of exceptional quality) and the view of the river from our room was superb. The spa suite I stayed in had everything I could have asked for.
The service was fantastic but I would have prefered to have more flexibilty with opening times of the bar/food areas. They indicated that this would be changing with the addition of a large, enclosed pavillion bar and restaurant due for completion in Sept 2007.

Unique Quality: I couldnt believe it, I was able to go fly fishing at the front of the hotel (and my wife could watch me from her room). The artwork waqs amazing and the history of the the place more akin to something you would expect in Europe. Every room (including the common areas) seemed to have a fireplace and the steeped gardens were a delight.

Allport's: Nice hostel

This friendly hostel is housed in a nice historic mansion and run by very helpful people.
Rooms are quite large, so even if everyone has scattered their luggage all over the place you still can move.
There are 2 kitchens and 2 lounges, both well equipped and clean. You've got internet access from here which is not really cheap though.
The hostel is located close to restaurants and bars.
A dorm bed was 22 AU$ in Nov. 05.

Crow's Nest Bed and Breakfast: Nice 4-Star Bed and Breakfast

We booked this through Needitnow.com and were told to phone ahead for the keybox code, which we did on the way from the airport. The man at the Thrifty car rental desk had marked on the map just how to find the place, and it wasn't too hard to get there (we also had the luxury of having a friend help out, too). We also found an envelope with our name on it taped to the door, with instructions on how to get in.... and several minutes later the owner also showed up to greet us.

The room was fairly spacious (we had suite 2 in the picture at their website) and quite clean. In other words, it passed the "barefoot test"! The bed was very comfortable and included an electric blanket, along with a nice fluffy doona and six pillows. There was a chest of drawers, as well as two bedside tables. The bathroom was clean, with lots of drawers and storage space. The kitchen had lots of appliances, like coffee makers, sandwich makers, toaster, etc.... and the refrigerator was stocked with bread, milk, juice, jams, butter, eggs, coffee, etc.... And the view was wonderful, as was the garden, full of blooming flowers. There is a washing machine which you can use for free, as well as a place to hang your clothes to dry them. The dryer was broken as of this writing but could be available in the future. The only phone is in the tiny "reception" area, and you put 50 cents in the till for local calls you make. The TV was mounted high on the wall.

Unique Quality: I liked this place.... I loved the electric blankets here. Unlike ones I'm used to seeing, in Australia they put them on the top of the mattress (so they are under the bottom sheet and you). There are controls on each side just at the side of the mattress. Do be patient.... they are slow to warm up, so you may not feel the heat immediately. There was also an electric heater in the room, and we needed a bit of both at night, as it was chilly weather for us.

The only thing that was difficult was washing the dishes; there was no dish rack, so I used an extra towel I found in the bathroom cupboards on which to pile the dishes to dry off. There was a two-night minimum stay here, and they didn't wash the dishes for us after the first night, so it was necessary to do our own.

This was a very relaxed setting, but it seems they don't have problems finding clients. I'd go back, and it's a nice place to stay for a longer time. The room is big enough to be comfortable, etc...
