Pickled Frog

Yet another old Hobart pub (the former Bavarian Tavern) turned into a backpackers, this one has a lurid frog-coloured paint job. It's a rambling, woody, chilled-out place with a bar, murals everywhere, parking out the back, and Baloo and Nala the Alaskan malamutes on duty. Skip the rooms with windows opening onto the light well. Free MONA and kunanyi/Mt Wellington shuttles.
