kunanyi/Mount Wellington
Just a 20-minute drive from the city, kunanyi / Mount Wellington is where Hobart shows off. Rising more than 1200 metres above the harbour, this majestic mountain offers panoramic views that stretch across the River Derwent, Bruny Island, and even as far as the Tasman Peninsula on a clear day.
Locals head up for the sunrise, snow flurries, and that crisp alpine air. Whether you’re hiking one of the forest trails, snapping photos from the summit lookout, or watching the clouds drift by from the Pinnacle Shelter, kunanyi makes you feel like you’re on top of the world — yet still just minutes from your stay.
If you’d rather not drive, the kunanyi / Mt Wellington Explorer Bus is a great way to sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey to the summit with informative commentary along the way.
Pack a warm jacket, bring your curiosity, and let this mountain add a little magic to your time in Hobart.
