The chalet is a beautifully designed space that captures the beautiful views of it's setting on Mount Wellington. It is now top of my list for future visits to the area. I stayed here with my partner for three nights and it served as both the perfect base for hikes around the mountain and into Hobart, as well as somewhere to spend a day nursing sore hiking-legs, simply watching for birds and relaxing - we were also lucky enough to wake up to snow! Stock up on groceries at The Hill Street Grocer / Salad Bar in South Hobart. The chalet is perfectly accessible without the need of a car as the bus to and from Hobart stops roughly a 5min walk outside and whilst only every hour or so, runs from early in the morning to late at night. It's also possible to do a 2hr scenic walk into Hobart (and get the bus back, seeing as it's all up hill) by following the neighbouring Pipeline Track to Waterworks Reserve (a must visit) and then the lower reserve track to South Hobart - wander through town from there. In town our favourite spots were Franklin - for a special dinner (book ahead!), Salamanca Market, Pigeon Whole Bakers - their sandwiches and cookies and Small Fry for breakfast / lunch . Can't wait to be back!
