Awakening at The Henry Jones, the first sight to greet you will likely be the bobbing cray boats in the bustling Hobart Docks. Here, the maritime spirit of Hobart is alive and thriving, a spectacle beloved by both locals and visitors, especially during iconic events like the Rolex Sydney to Hobart and The Wooden Boat Festival. The wharf precinct, with its warm-hearted community and lively atmosphere, offers an abundance of drinking and dining options, each telling its own story of Tasmanian culture and cuisine.
Venture into the Brooke Street Pier, where dining ‘on the water’ becomes a reality, not just for the picturesque views but for a culinary journey that begins where the MONA ferry sets sail. Within this floating marvel, discover the smooth richness of sheep’s whey vodka, and explore local stalls that mirror the vibrant essence of the Salamanca Market. The seafood here is unparalleled—from the casual simplicity of fish punts to the renowned delicacies of Mures, each bite is a testament to Hobart’s maritime heritage.
The Hobart Docks is not just a destination but a vibrant, living scene of Tasmania’s maritime culture, offering an experience where every moment is filled with local flavours, history, and the natural beauty of the docks. It’s a place where the catch of the day is always fresh, and the views are as captivating as the stories behind each stall, boat, and restaurant.
