 Customs House Hotel Restaurant

Customs House Hotel Restaurant is located in the heart of Hobart's historic waterfront area.

Known for being a popular watering hole for thirsty sailors after completing the infamous Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, the beautiful sandstone venue overlooks the River Derwent and provides both indoor and outdoor bars, accommodation and a restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

We get the feeling this restaurant is sometimes overlooked by locals due to its popularity with tourists and sailors, however having eaten dinner at the restaurant a couple of times in recent months, we can wholeheartedly say the food is absolutely delicious and well worth a visit.

There are plenty of hearty pub staples on the menu such as fish & chips, steak, salt & pepper squid, and an abundance of seafood dishes such as seafood chowder (a personal favourite of ours - it was so creamy and tasty) and chilled seafood platter for two.

The menu also offers an array of interesting and tasty modern Australian dishes such as wallaby schnitzel, red chimmichurri chicken and dukkah spiced lamb rump which elevates the restaurant above the usual pub bistro status. 

The dishes are beautifully presented and generously portioned...an uncommon combination!

The restaurant also celebrates Tassie seasonal produce throughout the year with crayfish specials and the appropriately named 'Scallop Fest'.

The desserts are plated with finesse and are perfectly balanced so they are not too sweet.

We haven't tried breakfast at Customs House yet, but we'll be sure to let you know when we do!

Drift Away Organic Shack

  Drift Away Organic Shack is a peaceful retreat for two located in Police Point, approximately 73km south of Hobart. Ideal for a couple, this cute studio has stunning views of the Huon River. The shack is located on the owner's residential property, but as the main house is set well behind the shack, the house and its inhabitants go unnoticed. The idea with this shack is to relax - read a book, drink in the view, cook a meal on the outdoor fire pit or enjoy a relaxing bath in the...........drumroll.............outdoor tub. Or, of course, do all of the above! The bushland setting offers privacy and the local birdlife creates a gorgeous natural soundtrack. The shack itself has a double bed, small kitchenette with mini fridge, shower, couch, an outdoor setting for the deck, an outdoor setting near the fire pit and an outdoor bath. Jemma, the friendly and welcoming owner, provides freshly laid eggs from the resident hens, milk, tea, coffee, a selection of jams, vegemite, butter, a fre...

Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave

 Crescent Bay, Mount Brown and Remarkable Cave PUFF-O-METRE   THEN OVERVIEW This is a beautiful day walk that follows some rugged coast line, stunning views and ends at a gorgeous beach with huge dunes. It starts at a large carpark, but it needs to be as this area is a very popular location. The carpark has a lovely viewing platform for some of the coastal cliffs. It also has shelter and public toilets available. Before setting off towards Crescent Bay, it's worth the ten minute delay to head down the staircase to enjoy the view at the Remarkable Cave. It's a bit like a horizontal blowhole however it's far more open therefore you don't get the big burst of water upwards. With that done, it's time to head along the other track towards Crescent Bay. This track is a bit up and down however the elevation doesn't change more than 20m so at no stage does it feel overwhelming. The track is even wide/smooth enough to be able to take off-road prams to the beach. Along th...
