🚢
Getting Around Hobart
154–156 Collins St, CBD · 5 min to waterfront · 8 min to Salamanca
🩸 Dark Mofo context: Your entire trip overlaps with Dark Mofo (11–22 June). The city will be transformed — red light installations, Winter Feast at Princes Wharf, music and performance across 18+ venues. Everything is walkable from Collins St. Buy tickets for Winter Feast before you arrive.
🚌 Free
All Metro Buses Are Free — Until June 2027
Interchange: Elizabeth St between Macquarie and Collins St · 3 min walk from hotel
Every Metro Tasmania bus is completely free — no tap-on, no ticket, just board. The government made all buses free statewide until June 2027. This saves you a lot of Uber money across the trip. Download the Metro Tas app for real-time bus tracking. The main interchange is on Elizabeth St, 3 min from the hotel. Dark Mofo's info page specifically says buses get you right to festival venues.
🚌 Routes to Know
Key Bus Routes From the Interchange
Elizabeth St interchange · Macquarie St stop also useful
Use the Metro Tas app to plan exact stops — these are the routes you'll use most:
- North Hobart (State Cinema, Willing, Capital) — Routes 500–522, Turn Up and Go high-frequency service up Elizabeth St. Every few minutes 7am–7pm. Board at Elizabeth St interchange, alight at North Hobart on Elizabeth St. ~10 min. Use this instead of Uber every time you head up for Friday dinner and film.
- South Hobart (Ginger Brown) — Route 44 or similar south along Macquarie St. Check the app for exact stop.
- Sandy Bay / Battery Point (Jackman & McRoss, Ozus) — Routes 401/402 from the interchange heading south. Alight at Battery Point. ~10 min.
- Late night from Winter Feast or Dark Park — Buses run later on festival nights per the Metro Dark Mofo service update. Check the app for last service times — a free bus home beats waiting for a surge-priced Uber.
⚠️ Ferries
Ferries Are Not Free — MONA Ferry Is Still Paid
Brooke Street Pier · 5 min walk from hotel
The free transport is buses only. The MONA Roma ferry is still ~$30 return and must be booked. The Spirit of Tasmania V ferry docked at Dark Park is a festival installation venue — not a passenger service. No free ferry exists for getting around Hobart during the festival.
✈️ Airport
Getting to/from Airport
Hobart Airport is ~16km from CBD, no train link. Uber/taxi (~20–25 min, ~$40–50) is the main option. Check the SkyBus service for cheaper transfers. Airport parking available if self-driving in.
🐟 Waterfront — Any Day
Constitution Dock Punts — Fish & Chips, Oysters, Ice Cream
Constitution Dock · ~5 min walk from hotel
Three floating punts on the dock, all worth a stop any afternoon or evening. Flippers — paper-wrapped fish and chips on the water, the quintessential Hobart moment. Van Diemens Land Creamery — floating ice cream punt, 24 handmade Tasmanian flavours, 4.5 ⭐. Oyster punt — fresh Tasmanian oysters, scallops and fish. Do all three in one waterfront wander. Also nearby: Mures Lower Deck (Victoria Dock, same precinct) — family business since 1973, fish straight from their own boats, proper sit-down with dock views.
🍫 Near the Hotel
Augustus Chocolates
100 Collins St · 2 min walk · Mon–Sat 8am–5:30pm · Closed Sunday
Handmade chocolates, coffee and gifts right next door to the hotel. Reviewers specifically call out the chilli chocolate with a latte. Good any morning or afternoon you're passing — pick up something to take home.
☕ Near the Hotel
Lobby Eatery — Your Default Morning Option
134 Macquarie St, Lands Building · ~4 min walk · Mon–Fri 7am–3pm · Sat–Sun 8am–2pm
The closest high-quality cafe to the hotel — specialty coffee, house-baked breads, brunch and sandwiches. Highly regarded for coffee quality; reviewers compare it to the best Melbourne places. Open every day of your trip including weekends. Good first stop on any morning before heading out. When individual days list "CBD breakfast options," this is the default closest choice.
