Amazing views - but pack a jumper! We visited in late September with an 8 month old. We drove up and stopped at the Freight Cafe just as they opened for a coffee before heading up the top. Even at this time of year part of the road up was closed due to ice so definitely something for those interstate or overseas to keep in mind! By the time we had finished our coffees both roads up were open. The road is fairly windy and narrow so definitely take it carefully. We reached the top at around 9:10am and there were plenty of car spots available. We climbed the trig station and saw snow! Or ice? Definitely 10 degrees cooler than Hobart with wind to contend with too. We visited the shelter and the lookout. Definitely a must see if you're in Hobart. On the way down we stopped again near the cafe to go to the toilet, have a picnic lunch and do a few of the short walks that left from there. The walk around the old gardens is very flat and accessible with a pram. But the walk to the old hotel was certainly a steep one.

It’s freezing up there but well worth it for the view and the flurry of snow we got! The shelter they have made there is very warm and great to have a break from the cold. The road up and down was scary for me - was happy my partner is from New Zealand and used to those kinds of mountainous roads and could drive us up and down.

Drive up/down can be disconcerting especially if you in an unfamiliar car or bigger car than you are used to. Had a Hire Car Ford Ranger so Winding roads, pretty narrow on many parts and suggest you do not drive after dusk. Hint - look at weather map for the mountain as it may show temperature is much lower than off the mountain - and the wind will drop the temperature further. Spectacular views

Great views on a good day and worth taking the time to hike along one of the trails from the top and escape the busy peak area. The bad part of the visit is parking on a busy day. Do not be afraid to drive to the end of the parking as there are lots of empty spots.

The panoramic view on a clear day is utterly beautiful! Temperature does drop at the top, so best to wear layers and a head covering as it can be quite windy. Well worth the twisty, narrow road drive. This is definitely a must do

my husband and I visited Mt Wellington in a day tour. What a spectacular sight from up there, the view is beautiful. Beware to take warm clothes as they say the temperature is always a lot colder up there and the day we went was very much on the windy side so we definitely felt it. The rock formations that have been pushed up out of the ground are really something to see. Worth a look

A wonderful and safe drive to the top of Mount Wellington, and down again. A beautiful road, excellent scenery, sufficient parking at the top, but very few parking bays on the way up / down. Some short but good paths around the top, and wonderful viewpoints. But it can be very windy at the top.

It’s been many years since I have visited this attraction - too long. When we visited it was fine but with clouds scudding across, so the views came and went but this added to the ambiance. Bitterly cold, even in March and the wind was fierce. Despite this, it was still breathtaking. Highly recommended.

All my friends have great fun at the Freycinet national park, wineglass bay and honeymoon bay. The drive was scenic and walk at the Freycinet national park was refreshing. Our tour guide, Jodi is an experienced driver and had so much fun with her. Took lots of scenic photos for us.

Actually saw this place on travel guides! Nice windy road up, saw a kangaroo. Absolutely bitter wind & snow at the top but made you feel alive, we loved it! Lots of laughs & added to the experience! Stunning views!!
