Wrest Point Hobart

The property in full

The character of Wrest Point Hobart is best summarised as australia's original licensed tower. It stands in Sydney, Melbourne, and the Gold Coast, and this review works through the rooms, the service standards, the restaurants, and the logistics of a stay.

We would point heritage-minded travellers and Tasmanian touring here first. Anyone whose trip looks materially different should read further down the catalogue before booking. The defining elements are 1973 founding tower, revolving restaurant and derwent river views.

The most useful thing we can tell you is this: the country's first licensed resort, still running a revolving restaurant. Factor it into the booking and the rest of the stay generally looks after itself.
