Hobart Accommodation is subject to seasonal demand

Summer bookings especially around Christmas, New Year and the Taste of Tasmanian and Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race times result in heavy bookings. If you need to stay in Hobart at this time it is wise to book well in advance. The same goes for airline bookings to and from Hobart. Outside the peak period, and certainly after Easter, you can visit without having to worry too much although occasionally conferences may create a shortage of available rooms in some categories. Tasmania hosts just over 7.5 million visitor nights according to the Tasmanian Visitor Information Survey. The annual count says a third of these nights are spent in 4 and 5 star accommodation, a third with friends family or relatives and the rest enjoy the hospitality of the wide range of budget accommodation across the State.
