Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A lovely part of the harbour, just to hang out, especially on a sunny day day, watching the world go by, whilst enjoying the beautiful scenery.

Relaxing place to visit and have a coffee. Lots to look out in as always a hive of activity as a bust active sea port. Nice to see big cruise liner in

Sullivans Cove, literally the birthplace of Hobart, is the entire ‘harbour’ area between the cruise ship terminal & Hunter Street to the north, the Princes Wharf & Salamanca Place to the south. It incorporates Franklin Wharf, Brooke Street Pier, Constitution Dock and the Elizabeth Street Pier.
It’s full of restaurants, bars and a myriad of tourism operators from the seaplanes to trishaw bike tours and just about everything in between.
With tall ships, the CSRIO Antarctic division, a working crayfish port and view to Mt Wellington and across the broad Derwent River to the Tasman Bridge & the Bellerive peninsula, it’s an absolute tourist mecca and frankly, a must visit area.

The Harbourside two bedroom apartment was beautifully presented and very spacious with lovely views out of the window across the wharf. Very close to restuarants, bars, cafes. The restuarants close by are very popular and as "overseas tourists" we did struggle to get an evening walk in reservation though we did find certain restuarants (Landscapes, Black Footed Pig) tried very hard to accomodate.

The area was the first landing place and settlement in 1804 for what is now Hobart, and named for John Sullivan, Permanent Under Secretary to the Colonies by Lieutenant Governor David Collins. Somewhat confusing today as the cove is now known as Macquarie Wharf. Thankfully, the City has retained many of the historic buildings which have been repurposed instead of facing the demolition hammer. Much changed from some of the early drawings and photographs that I have sighted.
Enjoyable to stroll Macquarie Wharf and see the old buildings on one side and the piers with the repurposed and new structures on the water side. Busy during the day and abuzz with activity at night.

When it Hobart you must walk on all the amazing wharfs here. It is amazing during the day as well as night. There is a wide range of restaurants if you are feeling peckish and great views while walking. This place is so magical.
