Rosny Hill Lookout
Quiet viewpoint overlooking Hobart and the river

Sightseeing

This lookout gives you some epic views over Hobart, the Derwent River, and kunanyi / Mount Wellington. 

It’s not as dramatic as Mt Wellington, but it’s much easier to reach and often way less crowded! 

It’s a good low-effort stop, especially at sunset or if you want city views without the mountain weather.

  • You can drive almost to the top and walk the last few minutes to the lookout platform

  • Short walking loop nearby through dry bushland with a few informal side tracks for exploring

  • Dog-friendly (on lead)

TO ACCESS

  • Free to access

  • Open all day

  • Located in Rosny, about 10 min from Hobart CBD

  • Drive-up access with parking near the summit

  • No toilets or facilities at the top
