What to do and see in Hobart, Tasmania: The Best Things to do Good for Couples

September 14, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

Perched on Tasmania’s southeastern coast, the lively city of Hobart is a unique mash-up of the 19th and 21st centuries. The waterfront cafes, restaurants and studios of the largest city in Tasmania are housed in centuries-old converted warehouses that overlook a harbor bustling with yachts and fishing boats. An active arts scene, vibrant nightlife and leisurely daytime pace add to the city’s charm.

Reviewed By easy_traveller123 - Moonah, Australia

I have been meaning to do a room escape for literally years now, I’m so glad I’ve finally done it, and I’m hooked! My husband and I did the jungle room and it was so intense, the puzzles are difficult but not so difficult that it’s not fun. We ended up finishing with 5 minutes to spare, which I was pleased about. Great guidance, fantastic room, I can’t wait to do the other two rooms on offer soon.

From the cannons at the front gate to the fermentation room on the top floor, this informative tour taught us about the secrets of beer making and the convict workers who enjoyed five 10 minute beer drinking sessions each day when the bell rang! Lucinda was a terrific guide.
