Accommodation

Shippies to the locals, is situated in historic Battery Point and is a great old style, traditional Hobart hotel.

It was a very cheap $80 per night for a double room ($40 each) – double bed, with a single bed on top, providing great budget accommodation in Hobart.

Very neat, clean and with shared bathroom.

Absolutely fantastic value – one of the best, most authentic pubs in Australia.

The service from the Manager was excellent and no-nonsense, and they really looked after us.

It’s a stone’s throw from Salamanca Place where we went for dinner, and close to the main connecting roads.

Just perfect for those looking for top value accommodation. They also have nicer rooms with ensuites etc at a higher price. Well worth a look.

Hello – Jack here.

I’ve just finished a rather slow tour of going around Tasmania – covered 1,200 kms in 27 days.  That’s me during the trip on the right.

I stayed in some great hotels that I’ll write up on here and on our Tasmania accommodation site.

• Bridport Hotel
• Bischoff Hotel
• Weldborough Hotel

Give me a week or so and I’ll get the reviews written and up.

Cheers

Jack

P.S: Went for dinner at the Shipwright Arms Hotel (“Shippies” to the locals) last night – superb value meals (and they’re great quality).  Their accommodation looks great value too.
