Mount Wellington defines the landscape surrounding Hobart the same way Table Mountain does for Cape Town in South Africa. With a summit rising to 1,271 m (4,170 ft), this wide mountain and its oft-snowcapped peak loom over the Tasmanian capital and surrounding Storm Bay. If you're up for a long stroll, hike 22 km (14 mi) to the top from the city. From here, you'll enjoy commanding views of Hobart, the Derwent River, and the bay. If you view of the mountain from the city, try to spy the Organ Pipes, a magnificent cliff of dolerite columns. Using our international travel planner, Hobart attractions like Mount Wellington can form part of a personalized travel itinerary.

Bring something warm because it is about 10 degrees cooler up here than in Hobart - and also less predictable. But the views are worth it.

This is such a beautiful spot, easily accessible by car, with plenty of parking spots usually becoming available with short or no wait at all. Great place to see the city specially if you can’t or don’t want to hike to get to an amazing viewpoint. Toilets available at the top. There’s some hike options starting at the top, midway up or bottom. From half a day walks to full day walks. There’s a coffee shop midway up. I recommend going when the sky is clear or mostly clear as otherwise you might not see anything at all (it happened to me once)

Must see in Hobart. Weather at the top is super unpredictable. It can be sunny at the bottom but 0 degrees at the top with strong winds or snow even. Awesome view. One of the lookouts was closed. We saw a wallaby eating.
