While Hobart has traditionally been hailed as Tasmania’s premier destination, Devonport, its lesser-known counterpart, is steadily carving out its own niche in the tourism landscape. Long regarded as the less glamorous city, Devonport is undergoing a remarkable transformation as tourism gains momentum.<\/p>\n
With each passing year, Devonport is shedding its understated reputation, enticing visitors to linger and explore its myriad of offerings. Nestled along Tasmania’s North-West Coast, where mountains meet the sea, Devonport seamlessly blends natural beauty with a refined urban charm. \u00a0As the Spirit of Tasmania berths, I breathe deeply and squeeze my partner\u2019s hand, anticipating the promise of exploration and rejuvenation. Devonport\u2019s tourism offerings have seen significant investment in recent times.\u00a0 Discerning travellers can stay at the new coastal retreat \u201cThe Cove<\/a>\u201d or the sleek 4-star Novotel<\/a> in the city\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n The foreshore has been revitalised, with parklands, artistically curated entertainment spaces and a vast wooden boardwalk extending grandly over the river.\u00a0 A local council collaboration has developed the Coastal Pathway, 110km off-road trails linking communities across the North-West.<\/p>\n
