#Register for March Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 Henry Jones Art Hotel is a boutique hotel revitalised from a historic building in Hobart, Tasmania, which was once an IXL jam factory. In its heyday, it employed more than a thousand people and has a vibrant history, and the buildings have been kept as authentic as possible. It has now been transformed into a high-end hotel and art center. Perfectly located next to the wharf, it's the perfect choice for a weekend getaway in Hobart, with easy access to the ferry to MONA and many restaurants. This hotel is very unique. There are many artworks to appreciate. It also has its own art gallery, and guests can take part in customized historical art tours. We had a room with a stunning sea view and the bed was huge and super comfortable. Very quiet, which exceeded our expectations. There were iPads to control the room facilities and a modern stunning bathroom!

#2月好地方2025 Crowne Plaza Hobart, located in the heart of Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, opened in 2020. There is a shopping mall downstairs, and the famous Salamanca Place, Royal Theatre, museums and art galleries are within walking distance, which is very convenient. There are 235 rooms in total, all of King standard are very comfortable and of very good quality. From the decoration to the atmosphere, there are obvious fashionable furniture, which feels stylish and refined. In addition, the hotel also uses Antipodes skincare, an organic skincare brand from New Zealand, which advocates the use of the cleanest ingredients on earth. The tea bags and coffee welcome gifts are also local brands, a natural and authentic choice. From the texture of the room card to the design of the room, especially the rooftop restaurant, from the corridor to the seats, it combines a strong modern design style and local art aesthetics. The landmark pier can be seen outside the window, which is so comfortable that it makes people relax and empty their minds. The food is also excellent, especially the seafood dishes.

✨Hotel/ryokan points: The room is spacious. The view from the balcony is very good. And the surrounding environment is quiet and very nice. ♨️Facilities: Shower included. No bath. Slippers and toothbrushes are not included, so you need to bring your own. 🛁Room: The bed was very good. There is also a sofa. 🍽️Breakfast: Did not use it. 🛎️Service: Reception is open until 6pm, so if you arrive after that, it is better to contact in advance in advance to receive the key. 💗Thoughts on the stay: The view of 9 Mile Beach from the balcony is spectacular. I would like to stay again. #Tasmania #Swansea #Australia #Australian trip #Travel record

Natural scenery and historical heritage: Launceston is located in the heart of Tasmania, with large lawns and lush trees, fresh air, and beautiful natural scenery. At the same time, as the earliest gathering place for British immigrants, the city has well-preserved Edwardian and Victorian buildings, and the streets are full of strong British style. 📅Travel guide: Valley scenery, you can choose to walk or take a cable car and boat. In addition, go to the Tamar Wetlands in the suburbs to feel the tranquility and harmony of nature.

#Halloween2023 #travel abroad #trip #relaxation #australia #hobart Most people stay in service apartments when traveling to Australia, because they are cheap enough. But because I wanted to relax during the holidays, I booked a hotel to stay so I could relax. This time we stayed at the Movenpick Hotel, located in the city center, which was really convenient, 5 minutes from the pier and a supermarket nearby. The rooms are quite large, 300 feet, and the toilet is full of space. The bed was big enough and really comfortable. The hotel also has a free chocolate day from 3.30pm to 4.30pm daily with chocolate style food items to eat, although the quantity is small, but quite tasty. So if you go to Hobart, you might as well choose this one.

While driving through Tasmania, we got to see all the awesome views of beaches that are fantastic with waves. Although is early spring now, in Hobart we got to see some beautiful tulips. Up in Wellington hill we enjoy the awesome scenery and was so cold too. All the towns are so quite and peaceful with friendly people smiling and greets whoever they meet. Love the country 🤩🤩🥰🥰😍😍💕💕 1.

In this lifetime, we must visit Tasmania! A pure little island at the end of the world, with beautiful mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, free and romantic; natural grasslands, and isolated islands. Coming here to appreciate nature and listen to our hearts is really a good choice. Preparation before departure For flights to Tasmania within Australia, you can bring cosmetics, lighters, and other daily necessities containing liquids with you. Please bring toiletries such as toothbrushes and toothpaste. According to relevant Tasmanian regulations, please do not bring vegetables, fruits, or seafood products to the island! Take measures to keep warm. Although Tasmania has entered spring, there is still a large temperature difference between morning and evening, and the wind on the hills of Wellington is still strong. Don't worry too much about encountering rainy weather during your travels, as the weather on Tar Island is known for its variability. The clouds will soon disperse and the rain will stop. Daily traffic: Plane: Arrive at Hobart Airport and take the airport shuttle bus to the hotel (or use the airport pick-up service provided by the tour group). Friends in Melbourne can choose the Spirit of Tasmania cruise in addition to flying, sleep on board overnight, and arrive the next morning. . Self-driving: Not recommended. Tasmania's terrain is winding and can be challenging for unfamiliar drivers. Choose carefully. One car: It's more cost-effective to travel with multiple people, and local drivers and tour guides are provided. The price is higher, but the itinerary is flexible. Join a tour: worry-free, cost-effective, led by a professional team for safe and reliable experience. Group ticket includes: Bruny Island ferry / Wineglass Bay / Freycinet National Park. Arthur Port ticket: $47/adult, student ticket is $38/person.

The most convenient way is to use the student ID, and an electronic version of the COE is sufficient.) 🎨Artwork title: Choose to stay in a hotel in the city center, which is close to both the airport and various attractions. Only by staying comfortably can you have sufficient energy to travel. Provide hotel: 4.5 stars: Crowne Plaza or similar level 4 stars: ibis Styles Hobart or similar level Route: ."4-day Southern Tour": Mount Field and Wineglass Bay on Bruny Island, Hobart. "5-day tour in the north": Hobart, Bruny Island, Wineglass Bay, Port Arthur, Cradle Mountain, Launceston. Arthur Port Select guests who join the tour and send them a lavender teddy bear worth 70 yuan. Please contact the backstage Didi editor for the itinerary to Lavender Island.

This hotel was great for a weekend staycation, especially its is within walking distance to Salamanca Saturday market! It located at the quiet part of the Hobart city but yet walking distance to all the attractions spot! Staff were super friendly and they really doing a great job maintaining the property, it’s clean and give you a young vibe! The bathroom was a real surprise with a fab rain shower and wall mounted shower, great for a hot shower after a day out! The restaurant bar was fun and modern and we do have our breakfast there, the variety is ok but food does taste good! Would definitely stay again next trip we come to Hobart. #staycation

For those who likes to wake up in the morning with an amazing view from your lodge, I highly recommend to stay in Freycinet Lodge located right in Freycinet Freycinet National Park, Coles Bay TAS 7215. The lodge promises you a comfortable stay in several type of rooms with stunning natural environment. You will wake up with birds chirping and if you are lucky you might even see a wombat or a wallaby near your cabin. I do personally advise to get some food before arriving to the cabin before sunset as storrs will close early and there will be no food, not even supermarkets. The restaurant here is rather expensive due to its location, right inside of the national park itself. The breakfast had sausages, eggs, bacon and bread which was splendid for an Australian breakfast! Don't forget to wake up right before sunrise to catch the amazing sun rising from the horizon.This is one of nature's beauty in tasmania, Freycinet National Park. #passionpassport #nationalpark #sunrise #lodge #staycation #wintergetaway #amazingview #naturalwonders

A beautiful sunrise was captured at Freycinet Lodge where we stayed. Everything became really slippery due to the thin layer of ice cover the entire resort. We had to slowly made our way to the balcony of the check in area to have this wonderful picture taken. A recommended stay here but just a heads up that there is nothing around this area. It is just basically a beautiful lodge in the national park. Food wise is rather pricy but good. Nothing is complete in your travel in Tassie without going to Freycinuet national park. This is an iconic, remarkable, breathtaking and panoramic area and not forgetting the famous wineglass bay! The diversity in the coastal landscape is dramatic, with rocky coves and surging surf around one corner, and sheltered bays and sandy beaches around the next. As you explore the park, the Hazards – a spectacular granite mountain range that rises dramatically from the sheltered turquoise bays – provides a breathtaking backdrop that is never far from view. Coming to Tassie, make sure you plan your trips and hikes to make your trip worth it. Because the roads here are mostly 1 way in and 1 way out, going to a destination might seem pretty near but actually u have to do a detour around the mountains to reach your destination. #tasmania #naturalwonders #hike #nature #awesomepic #instatravel #instapic #nature #adventure #beautiful #breathtaking #sunset #sunsetview #amazing # gorgeous

Starry night over Mount Cradle, where the mountains touch the sky and the silence sparkles with light.

Bellerive is a quiet and charming seaside suburb located on the eastern banks of the Derwent River, opposite Hobart. While its main drawcard is Blundstone Arena, there's much more to it than that. Here's a detailed guide to Bellerive, telling you what to expect and whether it's worth a visit. I. Bellerive's Core Highlights and Atmosphere · Cricket Mecca: Home to Blundstone Arena, it's Tasmania's cricket capital and one of Australia's top cricket venues. It's a mecca for sports fans. · Tranquil Waterfront Living: In contrast to the bustle of Hobart's city center, Bellerive boasts a laid-back, community atmosphere. Long coastal walks, parks, and beaches are perfect for strolling, picnicking, and relaxing. Enjoy a panoramic view of Hobart across the Derwent River: From here, you can see Hobart's city center and Mount Wellington across the Derwent River. The views are stunning, especially in the evening. Experience local life: There aren't crowds of tourists here, but more locals gather in cafes, walk their dogs in the park, and jog along the beach, giving you a sense of being part of local life. II. What to do in Bellerive? 1. A sports fan's pilgrimage: Blundstone Arena Watch a match: If it's cricket season (summer), be sure to check the schedule and catch a Twenty20 match against the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League (BBL). The atmosphere is electric. International matches or Australian Rules Football (AFL) matches may also be on. Stadium Tour: Even when there's no match going on, you can take a behind-the-scenes tour of the stadium to visit the dressing rooms, press room, and other facilities, and learn about Tasmania's cricket history. · Cricket Museum: The stadium also features a free cricket museum with a rich collection of memorabilia. 2. Waterfront Leisure · Bellerive Boardwalk: This scenic, flat, easy-to-walk path stretches from Bellerive Wharf to Kangaroo Bay, making it an ideal spot for a stroll or run. · Kangaroo Bay Park: This large green space features a playground, barbecue facilities, and a sandy beach, perfect for family gatherings and picnics. The city views across the bay are stunning. · Beaches: While not as dramatic as those on the Great Ocean Road, beaches like Little Howrah Beach are tranquil and peaceful, perfect for a quiet moment. 3. Food & Coffee Bellerive's main street (Clarence Street) has some excellent cafes and restaurants, offering high-quality food at prices generally more affordable than in central Hobart. · Local Coffee Shop: Find a local cafe and enjoy brunch or a cup of high-quality coffee like a local. · The Den Salamanca: A branch of the famous Salamanca Square bar, The Den, serving pizza and drinks in a relaxed atmosphere. · Bellerive Burger: If you're craving a delicious, juicy burger, this is a great option. III. Transportation: How to get there from Hobart city center? Transportation Method Details Pros Cons Ferry: Take the Derwent River Ferry from Brooke Street Pier. Highly recommended! The experience is excellent, allowing you to enjoy the scenery along the river. The journey takes about 15-20 minutes. The service is limited, so check the timetable in advance. By bus: Take Metro Tasmania buses, such as routes 654 and 655. They have relatively frequent services and are inexpensive. However, you'll need to cross the Tasman Bridge, which can lead to traffic jams. By car/taxi: Cross the Tasman Bridge, a 10-15 minute drive. The most flexible and convenient option. Parking may be required. IV. Is Bellerive right for you? · Highly recommended for: · Cricket or sports enthusiasts – this is a must-see. · Travelers looking to experience local life without the crowds of tourists. · Families – the parks and playgrounds at Kangaroo Bay are a delight for children. · Visitors looking for something relaxing after exploring Hobart's main attractions. · Skip this if: · This is your first time in Hobart and you're pressed for time (e.g., only have one day). Prioritize core attractions like Salamanca Place, Mount Wellington, and the MONA Museum. · You're looking for iconic, must-see attractions. V. Itinerary Planning Tips · Half-Day Tour: Plan a relaxing afternoon. Take the ferry across the river, stroll along the Bellerive waterfront promenade, spend some time in the park, then enjoy afternoon tea at a cafe on the main street. Watch the city lights light up on the other side in the evening before returning by ferry. Matchday: If you're attending a match, arrive early, enjoy dinner at a waterfront restaurant, and immerse yourself in the local fans' enthusiasm. Summary: Bellerive isn't Hobart's bustling center, but it offers a different perspective on the city. It's quiet, friendly, and full of life. The ferry ride there is a delight in itself. If you have the time and want to slow down and experience the weekend life of Hobart locals, Bellerive is a lovely destination that won't disappoint.

#holidayitinerary #australiatrip #weekendgetaway #august2025 #tasman Staying at Leisure Inn Penny Royal felt like stepping back into a storybook. Once a 19th-century corn mill, this boutique hotel has been transformed into a charming retreat that blends history, comfort, and character. 🛏️ Stay & Atmosphere My room was tucked within the stone-built complex, complete with timber beams and rustic windows. Though the architecture whispered of the past, the amenities were modern and cozy—perfect for a good night’s rest after a day of exploring Launceston. 🌳 Surroundings & Adventure Right next door is the Penny Royal Adventure Park, where families can enjoy cliff walks, rope bridges, and zip-lining. I loved wandering through the cobbled courtyards dotted with ivy-clad walls, soaking in the medieval European vibes. It felt like a hidden pocket of old-world charm in the heart of Tasmania.

Beautiful morning arriving in the cbd of Hobart!

Had a great time in Hobart ! a very relaxing environment and good for a refresh!!!

Amazing spot only a moment's walk from Freycinet Lodge.

A fantastic trip booked with Trip.com 🥂🥂🥂 From the crisp Tasmanian morning air of Launceston to the tropical warmth of Sri Lanka, this journey felt like crossing worlds in a single day. Booking through Trip.com made the entire process effortless, from choosing the perfect flight connection via Melbourne to keeping all details neatly in one place. The day began with a smooth check-in at Launceston Airport, coffee in hand, as the rising sun painted the runway in soft gold. A short, comfortable flight brought me to Melbourne, where I had time to enjoy the lively bustle of the terminal before boarding my long-haul flight. Watching the city lights of Melbourne fade beneath the clouds, I felt the excitement building. Hours later, as the plane descended into Colombo, the sight of palm-lined coasts and the glimmering Indian Ocean filled the windows. The warm Sri Lankan air rushed in the moment I stepped out, a welcome contrast to Tasmania’s cool breeze. From start to finish, Trip.com turned a multi-stop journey into a seamless travel experience, letting me focus on the thrill of the adventure rather than the stress of logistics.

[DELORAINE - THE ECO CABIN TASMANIA] 🇦🇺 Golden hour at @ecocabintasmania just hits differently. Just a short drive away from the city of Launceston, this off-grid retreat was the peaceful reset we didn’t know we needed. We watched the sun dip behind the hills from the deck, with nothing but the sounds of nature and the warmth of the woodfire inside. Ending the day here with a sunset soak and a glass of wine truly felt like pure serenity. ➡️ Save this post and follow @rachwsj for more Tassie adventures! 📍 6 Tower Hill St, Deloraine TAS 7304, Australia #holidayitinerary #tasmania #rachwsjtravels #tasmaniaaustralia🇦🇺 #tasmaniauastralia #tasmanianthings #australia #couplestrip #southaustraliatravel #tasmaniaadventures #tasmaniagetaway #tasmaniatravels #tasmaniatourism #tasmanianbeauty

[WEST KENTISH - EAGLES NEST RETREAT] 🇦🇺 Woke up in the heart of nature, wrapped in comfort and surrounded by 360° views of rolling hills and the the majestic Mount Roland. @eaglesnestretreat is where luxury meets serenity, think private outdoor spa under the stars, glass walls that bring the landscape in, and the kind of stillness that lingers. One of the highlights? The Dream Chef experience which features a private three-course dinner prepared in-house by the incredible Cynthia Osborne. Every dish was crafted with care and full of flavour. We ended the night soaking under the Milky Way, with nothing but the sounds of nature and the sky putting on a show. This was truly a place to slow down, reconnect, and breathe deeper. 📍192 Careys Rd, West Kentish TAS 7306 #holidayitinerary #tasmaniaadventures #travel #couplestrip #thingstodo #tasmania #tasmaniatrip #tasmaniatravel #tasmanian #tasmaniatravels #tasmaniatourism #tasmaniauncovered #tasmanianbeauty #tasmaniaaurora
