ROOM SERVICE By Julia Ashwood · THE VISTA By Julia Ashwood

EAT:

Sonny - delicious food, great wine list and tunes!

Ogee - stop by for a beer and a snack or stay a while (bookings essential).

Daci Daci Bakers - Do not leave Hobart without trying the Pistachio tart!

The New Sydney Hotel - Take a seat and order a giant Parmie and a Guinness, you cannot go wrong at this Irish pub where the vibes run high.

If you LOVE Ramen like me - the answer is Ranita!

Pigeon Hole Bakery - Bagels and coffee on the run. Or if your’e lucky, grab a window seat in this buzzy inner city hive.

SHOP:

Alma Supply Store - for sweet homewares, fluffy socks, great books and more.

STAY:

Hotels - The Henry Jones Art Hotel or Macq 01.

Airbnb - The Barn or Captains Cottage.

EXPLORE:

The Macq1 historical tour with storyteller Aaron is a wonderful way to dive into the fasinating history of this great city. Book online HERE (free as a guest or just $35).

Wander Battery Point on sunrise - stop off at one of the many sweet cafes like Leoht for a brew and soak up the morning sunshine filtered through the old sandstone streets.

Catch the ferry (or drive) across to MONA. This iconic museum is a MUST for any visitor to Tassie. Grab an easy lunch there too (a great outdoor playground for the little too).

Uber up to Mount Wellington for a perfect vista of the city below, unless its snowing of course! We caught the snow here in April.

TIP: if you can spare an extra day or two you must catch the ferry across to Bruny Island. Just for the oysters and cheese alone!

PACK: Layers (and these fun pants!)

and a great moisturiser for the cooler weather! (use my code for 20% off - ‘JULIATHEVISTA’).

Follow along @Tasmania for more of this great island.

Enjoy! x
