In the residential streets it's not very busy. But it does have a major road that runs through it although like I said if you're in Sorell on the residential streets it's very quiet. There's also a shopping centre with super market, bakery etc. and the post office, bank, chemist, community clinic are all in walking distance of most houses.

I got the visa subclass 457 and will be arriving in Tasmania in the first week of October.

Good luck with that. I arrive in Tassy on the 26th Sept a day before my Birthday. Not long to go now. We have all just got a flu like bug but thank good it was not the day i am flying other wise i could not go.

it's also got a set of traffic lights for evening entertainment

Which it needs otherwise you'd never get across that road at that bloody junction!

Hopefully we will be in Tassie at the end of October and at the moment i'm looking for our initial accommodation around Hobart ,just wondering if theres any nice places anyone could recommend???

Thanks

Paula125

Sorell!!! But then again I'm biased

ianandhelena

do you want cheap or central or good location, or upmarket?

Hi Ian & Helena

I would like somewhere pretty close to Hobart initially ,a mid-range place in a nice spot would be ideal as we have 4 boys and loads to do on arrival!
I have looked at plenty it's just so much better to have a personal recommendation isn't it??
Thanks in advance (around $1000. per week would be great for 3 weeks)

Byeeeee

Quest apartments are central, Mashy stayed there when they first arrived, not sure how pricey though, but $1000 a week would get you something pretty nice I would think!

Thanks for that Teabag, I have looked at them and Graham Court apts and i'm waiting for their 'reduced' rates for staying longer than 2 weeks (not holding my breath!!) but they said they could do it cheaper so heres hoping!!

I also saw a great little beach house on Coningham Beach, do you know it????
that was really reasonable but i'm not sure if its better to be more or less in Hobart for the 1st few weeks So much to do my mind is just spinning (not a good thing !!)

Thanks Again

I would stay in town if you can, Hobart is basically a large country town and the outskirts don't really have a lot to do. I don't know Coningham Beach I've only been here 4 months now.

Try Stayz as well, that's a good site for getting private homes and such
