Tasmania
Old-fashioned pub food – the sort that still believes in coleslaw and a slice of beetroot – isn’t extinct in this hotel's Tassie Tiger Bar, where dishes include schnitzels, reef and beef, and seafood baskets. The menu is big on fish but light on veggie options. Try the Tassie Tiger pies or burgers if you’ve bought into the bar's theme.
There are 10 basic, yesteryear-furnished rooms (single $50, double $85 to $105) upstairs, all but one with a shared bathroom.
