Why choose Hobart for your road trip
Hobart — a city worth exploring
Hobart sits at the foot of kunanyi/Mount Wellington, a 1,271-metre peak you can drive to the summit of for panoramic views across the Derwent River estuary and beyond. As Tasmania's capital, the city blends colonial heritage with a thriving food and arts scene. Salamanca Place, a row of Georgian sandstone warehouses dating from the 1830s, hosts one of Australia's finest outdoor markets every Saturday. The Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), built into a sandstone cliff on the Berriedale peninsula, draws visitors from around the world with its provocative underground galleries. Stroll through the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, established in 1818, or explore Battery Point, a historic neighbourhood of narrow lanes and cottages just minutes from the waterfront. Launceston lies roughly 200 km to the north, while the entrance to Freycinet National Park is about 190 km up the east coast — both make rewarding extensions to any Hobart trip. The city's compact layout and well-maintained roads leading out in every direction make it an ideal base for campervan touring. With Yescapa, you can hire a motorhome or campervan directly from a local owner, giving you the flexibility to set off at your own pace and discover Tasmania's diverse landscapes without the formality of a traditional depot.
Best time to visit
Hobart enjoys its warmest weather from December to February, when average highs reach around 22 °C — ideal for exploring the coastline by campervan. The annual Dark Mofo festival in June transforms the city with winter feasts, music and large-scale art installations, making it a brilliant reason to visit outside peak season. January brings the finale of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race and the lively Taste of Tasmania food festival along the waterfront. Book your Yescapa hire early for the summer months, as Hobart is Tasmania's most popular starting point. In the cooler shoulder seasons of March to May and September to November, you'll find quieter campsites and competitive peer-to-peer pricing.

Where to park your motorhome
Hobart's city centre has several car parks that can accommodate larger vehicles, though height and length restrictions apply in some multi-storey facilities. For campervans and motorhomes, open-air surface car parks near the waterfront are your best bet. Overnight parking in public car parks is generally not permitted unless signposted otherwise, so always check local signage. If you plan to stay overnight, head to a designated campsite or caravan park instead.
- Regatta Ground Car Park, 1km west — Open-air car park beside the River Derwent, suitable for larger vehicles. Convenient for Salamanca Place and the waterfront. Time limits may apply on busy days.
- Cenotaph Car Park, 1km north — Surface-level car park on the Queens Domain, close to the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens. Offers generous space for motorhomes during off-peak hours.
- MONA Visitor Car Park, 12km north — Free parking at the Museum of Old and New Art in Berriedale, with ample room for campervans. A good option when visiting the museum or catching the MONA ferry.
Frequently asked questions
Campervan hire prices in Hobart typically start from around £60–£90 per night, depending on the vehicle size and season. Summer months tend to sit at the higher end, while autumn and winter offer more competitive rates. On Yescapa, you hire directly from local owners, which often means better value than traditional rental companies — plus you can compare a range of vehicles and find one that fits your budget.
With Yescapa, motorhome pick-up locations in Hobart vary because each vehicle belongs to a local owner. You might collect from suburbs such as Sandy Bay, Glenorchy or Cambridge, all within easy reach of the city centre. Once you've booked, the owner will arrange a convenient handover point. This peer-to-peer approach means you can often find a vehicle closer to where you're staying.
To get the best deal on a Hobart campervan or motorhome, try booking well in advance, especially for the busy December-to-February period. Travelling in the shoulder season — March to May or September to November — can bring noticeably lower rates. On Yescapa, you can filter by price, compare peer-to-peer listings from local owners and message them directly to discuss your plans before committing.
For couples or solo travellers exploring Tasmania from Hobart, a compact campervan with a two-berth layout is easy to manoeuvre on narrow rural roads. Families or groups of four or more will be more comfortable in a larger motorhome with extra sleeping space and a full kitchen. On Yescapa, each listing includes detailed specs and photos, so you can match the vehicle to your group size and travel style.
Yes, a number of Yescapa owners near Hobart welcome pets on board — just use the pet-friendly filter when searching. Tasmania is a great destination for dogs, with many beaches and national park trails to enjoy together. Always check individual listing details for any conditions, and remember that dogs are not permitted in some Tasmanian national park areas, so plan your stops accordingly.

Nous avons passé un séjour formidable dans ce mobil-home ; c'était l'hébergement idéal pour notre famille. Il disposait de tout ce dont nous avions besoin, et même bien plus encore ; nous n'avons eu besoin d'apporter quoi que ce soit ! Les propriétaires étaient très sympathiques et serviables : ils ont fourni un guide d'utilisation détaillé et sont restés joignables via WhatsApp pour répondre à nos questions. Je recommande vivement de faire appel à eux. Nous réserverons à nouveau pour l'année prochaine ! 😊

I highly recommend renting from Handy! The camper van was absolute perfection for our family road trip with two young children, and its condition was top-notch. At pickup, Handy was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating, taking the time to explain all the various systems and how to best operate the vehicle. He was also super responsive and helpful whenever I had quick questions during our trip. I couldn't have asked for a better host or vehicle. Thank you, Handy!

¡Experiencia de 10 con Blanca y su furgoneta! 🚐✨ No podríamos haber pedido una mejor anfitriona para nuestro fin de semana en Mallorca. Al ser una escapada de solo un par de días, el tiempo era muy valioso para nosotros, y Blanca se adaptó a nuestros horarios sin ningún problema. Nuestro vuelo se retrasó y llegamos de madrugada, pero nos esperó con la mejor de las sonrisas y una energía superalegre. ¡Eso no tiene precio! (La camper esta solo a 15 minutos del aeropuerto, ideal!) La campervan está en perfecto estado y supercompleta, no le falta absolutamente nada. Fue la manera ideal de aprovechar al máximo el fin de semana, recorriendo la isla con total libertad y sin ataduras de itinerarios. Algunos tips para futuros viajeros: Para dormir: Les recomendamos intentar aparcar cerca del mar, ya que por la noche refresca más si se pone caluroso. Aparcamiento: Se puede estacionar gratis en la calle en la mayoría de los pueblos (salvo que la señalización indique lo contrario). Si prefieren más comodidades, también hay campings con servicios disponibles. Por último, no dejen de conocer Palma y hacer un walking tour vale muchísimo la pena es hermosa. ¡Gracias por todo, Blanca! Sin duda, repetiríamos con ella con los ojos cerrados. ❤️

Ha sido un placer tratar con Daniel y su familia; son personas encantadoras, muy educadas y con una excelente comunicación. Cuidaron nuestra autocaravana como si fuera suya y la devolvieron a tiempo, en perfectas condiciones y muy limpia. Los recomendamos ampliamente. Muchas gracias de parte de Gary y Michelle.
