Hobart Travelodge 
20Sep2015

Conveniently located in the heart of town, Travel Lodge is within walking distance of Salamanca Square and the multitude of good eats by the scenic Harbor. Unfortunately parking is only allowed off site, at 10AUD per exit.


The rooms are of good size and what's great are definitely the mini dry kitchen counter with microwave, cutlery and mini fridge to store your small bites.

Getting Around and
getting connected with a data plan

 (ours was the small Hyundai on the left)

We rented from Hertz at the airport. Charges were at AUD354.25 (AUD50.60/day) for a week with full insurance coverage.

For Internet connection, a Pocket Wifi with 3Gig data at 3G speeds valid for 28Days was purchased from Vodaphone at AUD39. 

The Wifi dongle is chargeable with mini USB cable and a single charge is good for 5hrs. There are other options provided by other providers.

P.S Depending on your network provider, and where you maybe traveling to, you may not get network coverage hence no data. In our Itinerary, there was spotty wi-fi at Mt field National Park and no coverage midway to Port Arthur. (only Telstra in the area). Click here for 7 day Itinerary in Hobart.
