If you are visiting Tasmania’s fascinating and historic capital, a holiday rental often makes more sense than a hotel room. Holiday rentals in Hobart allow a family or small group travelling together to save money, and you can save more money by cooking in the rental home, rather than eating out. Hobart offers a lot to see and do, whether you are visiting for a long weekend, or a couple of weeks. The city is known for its historic sites, including several reminders of when British convicts were shipped over to the newly discovered land. Hobart also boasts some excellent museums, a thriving arts and culture scene, restaurants offering everything from traditional fare to Chinese food, and a surprising amount of green space. Close to the city are several National Parks, including Mt. Field, one of the island’s most popular, with its spectacular forests, waterfalls and diverse wildlife.
