Australia: Tasmania - Hobart

The small and yet charming city of Hobart is a city of yachts, gardens, galleries; sandstone cottages and stately Georgian homes. Guests can discover the convict history as most of the city was built on the pain and toil of yesteryear-English convicts. Surrounded by beautiful hinterlands and National Parks, Hobart is an excellent place to base any adventure in Tasmania.

Accommodation:
Henry Jones Art Hotel

For lovers of art or those looking for that lavish stay, the Henry Jones Art Hotel is one of the most unique properties that you are ever likely to stay. Standing on Hobart’s waterfront, the Hotel has been developed from a row of historic warehouses and a former Jam factory. MORE...

All rooms have their own ensuite with the larger more luxurious rooms featuring spas, four-poster, and half-tester or antique beds.
