Prescript’s Hobart Location Guide

Where to stay?

Because you will be working in the northern suburbs of Hobart, Maylands Lodge is a fantastic option - located just a 10-minute drive from the centre of Hobart. Experience a boutique, heritage property with sensational views, large, stylish rooms, and an incredible daily breakfast bought to your room.

Truly boutique in nature and set within one of Tasmania's finest Heritage properties. Our styling is minimalist and our rooms/suites are a fusion of modern and historic luxury.

If you'd prefer to stay somewhere central, there are some truly fantastic options right in the centre of Hobart - MACq 01 Hotel, The Henry Jones Art Hotel, Movenpick Hotel Hobart, and much more!

What to eat?

Hobart is known for its local, fresh produce and abundance of seafood! Head down to Sullivans Cove to The Glass House or Aloft for exceptional & elegant dining with 280-degree waterfront views.

For the seafood lovers, Mures Upper Deck is a wonderful option. Experience the multi-award-winning elevated Dockside restaurant with views of Hobart Docks.

What to do?

There is so much to do and see.

Hobart’s Museum of Old and New Art is a must-do! Get the ferry to MONA from Hobart’s Brooke Street Pier (or drive). It’s truly incredible - you’ll lose track of time whilst looking around the awe-inspiring, underground sandstone-walled gallery. There is also a wonderful winery within the grounds, and a fabulous outdoor bar/restaurant area with live music.

There are some exceptional wineries surrounding Hobart with spectacular scenery and views. Either book onto a tour, or take taxis/Ubers and make your way around yourself. All are within close proximity to one another.

Lark Cellar Door And Whisky Bar is another great experience. You don’t need to book - simply show up and enjoy a tasting in a relaxed, intimate setting.

Be sure to visit Salamanca Markets - an outdoor large market located in the historic Salamanca Place. Enjoy the abundance of stalls with everything from artwork to cider tasting.

Who We’re Looking For
