Oh, Hobart. You little beauty, you! For two Sydney-siders in need of a short winter getaway, Hobart<\/a> was the perfect amount of everything \u2013\u00a0just the right length of time on a airplane (just under two hours, long enough to catch up on some trash TV), do-able in three days (a mid-week getaway meant we could catch up on the workweek come Thursday!) and stunning weather for a winter holiday (crisp enough for a coat, but thermal underwear is by no means necessary). Expedia’s Kiwi travellers are a savvy bunch, usually spending two nights in Hobart so here\u2019s\u00a0McKean Studio\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0suggestions on how to spend a perfect few days in the Apple Isle!<\/p>\n

Jackman & McRoss<\/h2>\n

The best thing about Hobart is its walkability. The hills are just steep enough to feel like you\u2019ve earned your fish and chips, but everything is close enough that you won\u2019t really need the car to get around. A walk to Battery Point is the best way to get your blood pumping, and you can reward yourself with breakfast at Jackman & McRoss<\/a>. Lightning fast service (we\u2019ve never had a coffee order filled that quickly) and a changing menu of specials that vary with the seasons (think porridge with apples and roasted figs) awaits. If you\u2019ve still got room left after breakfast, there\u2019s also a huge counter full of sweet treats, and shelves of fresh bread to tempt you. It\u2019s winter, you\u2019re allowed a little extra padding!<\/p>\n

The Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens<\/h2>\n

If you manage to time your trip with good weather, the Botanical Gardens<\/a> are a great place for a stroll. The Japanese Gardens, the conservatory and the cactus garden all worth a look. Free entry, and a great way to ease into your relaxing getaway!<\/p>\n

Fish & Chips on the wharf<\/h2>\n

We couldn\u2019t resist trying out the very cute, novelty shaped floating fish and chips Flippers Fish and Chips<\/a> stand (ordering from a whale boat?!) but you\u2019re spoilt for choice when it comes to your casual seafood by the harbour. Be prepared to defend your dinner from greedy seagulls, but it\u2019s a lovely way to spend an evening watching the sun go down and the skies changing colour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
