Hobart is such a beautiful city that has preserved its colonial past perfectly
Visitors to Hobart are rarely disappointed by what they find. Hobart is a pleasant, uncrowded city that boasts wonderful architecture, a beautiful harbour and river setting and a location that lends itself to daily exploration of surrounding attractions. The city is overlooked by towering Mt Wellington, a giant amongst the surrounding hilly backdrop that enhances Hobart’s perfect setting. The trip to the summit is a wonderful illustration of contrasts as forest gives way to rock. Enjoy a fascinating presentation at the Cadbury Visitors Centre followed by a delightful Derwent River Cruise. Famous and infamous at the same time, Port Arthur is a must see for all visitors to this part of the world. There’s a whole lot more than what you expect with a very large number of historic ruins and intact buildings alike and a very interesting visitors centre telling the tales of the sometimes tragic history of the region. Guests will see all this, plus the historic Richmond village & the curious Tassie Devils in this package. Plus, you can add on extra tours such as the beautiful Huon Valley, Russell Falls or Bruny Island at special prices available only with the package. And, you can extend your time away with our great ‘buy the 6th night and get the 7th free’ offer! |
