Hobart
For a slice of artistic luxury, book an uber-chic pavilion at MONA, 12km north of the city. The eight mod, self-contained chalets (one- and two-bedroom) are dressed to the nines, with private balconies, wine cellars, river views, private artworks from the MONA gallery's collection and oh-so-discreet service. The indoor swimming pool is an aid to relaxation, and MONA is in your backyard.
A tip: stay over on a Tuesday, when MONA is closed, and you can get a private, exclusive tour of the gallery.
