Sightseeing and Things to Do

Dark Mofo

Mount Wellington
Beautiful at any time of the year Mount Wellington is generally below zero degrees during Tassie’s winter and you are bound to get to see the snow. Hobart is built under this mountain and there are beautiful views of and from the mountain. It’s just a short drive away from the city and there’s many great eats nearby.  

Experience the Snow
Mount Wellington is by far the best and easiest spot to see snow but there are plenty of other options.  At Cradle Mountain, Ben Lomand National Park, Mt Field, Hartz Peak and The Central Highlands you can expect to see icy lakes, snow covered trees, and snow capped mountains. All are sublimely beautiful. We recommend checking the snow forecast just before you head out. There are many tour options and of course the joy of playing in the snow is completely free!

If you are getting married in Tasmania, or eloping, the winter can be a wonderful and unforgettable experience that allows couples to celebrate their love in a unique and intimate way. With its stunning scenery, cosy accommodation options, and delicious gourmet food and wines there is a host of things to see and do.
