More information about booking an Airbnb in Hobart, Australia
According to ABC News, the city council of Hobart has voted to double the rates for owners of short-term rentals in 2023. This was done to combat the housing shortage issue but has been met with dissatisfaction from Airbnb. This change might affect guests, too, as hosts try to make up for it by increasing rental prices.
Currently, prices for Airbnbs in Hobart start from around 20 USD per night. Luxury properties can be found at around 344 USD per night, and the price may increase depending on location and amenities.

What guests loved about this luxury Airbnb:
“You can’t beat this for location, everything is in walking distance or a very short wait for an uber. The apartment itself was great, we had 3 adults in 3 seperate rooms (although the 3rd room didn’t have a wardrobe or anywhere to hang dress clothes). Lots of spare bath towels was a bonus, and no shortage of the little things like soaps, detergents, toilet paper etc…
Super impressed with the fully stoked in-built coffee machine as well. This was for a business trip, so having a space for us to meet and prep or debrief was key rather than booking individual hotel rooms. We will definitely stay here again should business bring us back to Hobart.” - by Vaughan
“This apartment was simply stunning. Fantastically located in the beautiful Hobart harbour area with easy access to all the local amenities! Parking was easy to request and whilst costed at $10 compared to local parking costs this is very cheap. The apartment itself was very well presented and extremely clean. More than enough space and a fantastic area to relax. The host was extremely responsive and made checking in and out a very simple and easy process. I would recommend this apartment highly” - by Jon

What guests loved about this luxury Airbnb:
“Beautiful modern apartment very clean and comfortable. The location was amazing for Salamanca and Battery Point and perfect for us catching the SkyBus to and from the airport. The food at both the Stock Market restaurant and the Telegraph Hotel were excellent.
We had no trouble with noise but it was cool so we had the windows closed.
The champagne, milk, orange juice, bread, fruit and snacks were a lovely thought.
Highly recommend this apartment.” - by Lynda
“The location is excellent, so close to Brooke st pier and Salamanca markets. The building is quiet and well maintained. Access is easy and has a great coffee shop downstairs” - by Amy
