Thinking of going to tassie weekend of 18th or 25th april (i know its anzac weekend),with a couple of peeps, could anyone recommend any, cheapo, places to stay

North, south, Hobart? Any ideas where you want to go?

Hobart

Well, if you want really cheap there's the New Sydney or Central City Backpackers but I guess you want a bit more comfort than that!
New Sydney is worth a visit though, great pub

Customs House Hotel is fairly cheap, B&B over a pub, nice and clean and fairly comfy. Its central as well.
Hobart Mid City - more of a motel, but right in the centre of town.
Bit more pricey is Somerset on Salamanca which has rooms, or its sister, Somerset on the Pier, which has apartments - worth the money, veiws over the harbour and the mountain.

Fountainside Motor Inn - central, supposed to be pretty good, not stayed in that one myself but I have friends that have been there, and been back there, so that says something!

Www.discovertasmania.com is a good site for accommodation and places to visit.

You'll enjoy it, its a beautiful place

Have a great time.

you will fit in there wae yir two heeds

Montgomery's Hotel is good quality and very affordable. It also has a family sized room with a double bed, double bunk, and ensuite.

I once spent an interesting (and wholly unplanned) night there with two South African backpackers.

Hobart's a wonderful place; I'm sure you'll love it. Make sure you visit the Salamanca Markets, and try some of the local restaurants/cafes on the waterfront!

Ooh, yes thats another one, I met a lot of backpackers that liked Montgomery's mcos it's a little more upmarket than the hostels but still cheap. Bar is good too

sounds ideal, will let you all know how we go

Give us a report back Margaret please, sounds great
