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 peaceful oasis close to the city. The birdsong is probably my favourite thing about it, then the bush. I feel very fortunate to live within walking distance.

Great bushwalking within a couple of km's of Hobart cbd. Moderate difficulty but well defined and maintained tracks. Plenty of spots to stop and admire the view back over Hobart.

Great signage, a bit hazy today but nice to get some breeze. Did a diversion to Mount Stuart Lookout whilst doing the loop in a clockwise direction, relatively steep up but otherwise a well formed track. Plenty of parking and multiple tracks to use too.

This is a hike through fairly open bushland that has been well worn but many casual exercisers and dog walkers. Nice spot and a hike that makes you work reasonably hard but there are no overly steep sections so if you keep moving you'll be fine. The signage could be better. There were posts but the print was very small and some tracks merge into one another so it's a bit tricky to know you are going the right way. There are never really any concerns about being lost though as the hike doesn't take you too far away from the car park. I will warn you though, this place was a nightmare to find using GPS!

Easy walking terrain with some steep slopes.Very confusing signage for walks and a myriad of un marked paths. Care needed if unfamiliar with area

Although Knocklofty isn't the most scenic place to visit, if you spend enough time relaxing here there's no doubt that you'll come across friendly reptiles, marsupials (at dusk and dawn), plenty of birds and even frogs at the right time of year.
With many tracks to take around the Reserve, you can vary the length of your walk from 10 minutes to 2 hours, and even side trip up Mt Wellington.
The dry sclerophyll forest is great for recreational go-ers wanting to walk their dog, bike or just have a seat!

I love walking especially going up hills for views and for photos, but while the walk was pleasant enough the views were a little disappointing with no real lookouts at the summit itself. They are a couple of nice lookouts over the city near the carpark.
As a tourist the signposting of the walks were a little confusing but they could be worked out with a little logic.
If you don’t have a lot of time, it is worthwhile but if you have a few hours head for Mount Wellington

Great walking tracks, ample car parking and lots of wildlife. A great place to visit near the city. Highly recommended.

Regularly run here morning and afternoon and it never gets boring. I'm always prompted to stop for the view even for a second. Lots of wildlife (including snakes!) but gorgeous trails for running and walking.

So close to CBD 5-10 minutes in car , approach from Forest Road West Hobart, entrance gate sign on the right , drive up to car park. This is a natural trail not pathed so not suitable for all. It is a Dog friendly walk with a few picnic tables at car park , no toilets. It’s a pleasant meander through the bush with some lovely glimpses of Hobart and Sandy Bay .
