Tassie’s capital is often heralded as one of Australia’s favourite weekend getaway destinations. However, behind the tourist trade is a captivating city that’s home to a population of over 220,000 people. However, many Hobartians will attest to the fact that finding true love beyond friendship groups can be a challenge. Horizons can feel a little limited. Enter EliteSingles. With years of experience connecting amazing Aussie singles nationwide, it’s time to find out how we can help you get the most out of the Hobart dating scene!
Hobart dating with EliteSingles – The Smart Choice
Island dwelling is often synonymous with a more laissez-faire pace of life. This is certainly true of Tasmania. Things here definitely don’t move at the same rate as they do in cities like Sydney and Melbourne, which is exactly what gives The Apple Isle its characteristically laidback vibe. And with its unique landscape, maritime climate and bountiful wildlife, it really is one of the gemstones in Australia’s dating crown.
Hobart sits on Tassie’s south-eastern coast. Home to roughly 225,000 Hobartians, the city wears the badge of being the most densely populated area in Tasmania. Nestled amongst the foothills of Mount Wellington and on the banks of the River Derwent, it’s a city that’s very much suited to people who enjoy being at one with nature. It’s also a place that has a special charm to it; though it’s an urban hub, it’s still managed to maintain the charm of a quaint fishing village.
There are many reasons that make Hobart a fantastic place to call home. Let’s start with the countless goings-on, like driving out into the hinterland to find a cellar door, or taking a Saturday stroll around Salamanca Market. The possibilities are endless. However, if you’re single, it can sometimes feel as though the Hobart dating scene has gone a touch stale. Close-knit friendship groups and transient tourists mean it’s difficult to meet new people who both pique your interest and who’ll be sticking around. But don’t succumb to the inertia; EliteSingles has the solution!
EliteSingles specialises in broadening your dating horizons and introducing you to Hobart singles outside your immediate social circle. Our forte lies in really understanding the sort of people you want to meet and then setting out to help you find them. Having established ourselves as Australia’s premier dating site for professional singles, we’re confident we can put you in pole position to find the love of your life. Here’s how…
Meeting Hobart Singles, the Intelligent Way
Unlike plenty of other Australian dating sites promising to find you real romance, our claims have substance to them. The thousands of Aussie singles who’ve built beautiful relationships on the back of using EliteSingles pay testament to this. The reason we’re so positive about realising your dating objectives rests on the scientifically informed matchmaking system we’ve developed. Not only does it employ tried and tested psychological theory, but it also uses an intuitive algorithm to ensure both accuracy and efficiency.
Upon registration, with EliteSingles you’re required to fill in an extensive personality test. This questionnaire is based on Costa & McRae’s acclaimed Five-Factor Model. Also known as the Big Five personality traits, this theory suggests that our behaviour is predicated on a quintet of specific characteristics; namely openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. Once you’ve completed the test, your results allow us to get an intricate gauge of your personality. Our smart algorithm enables us to match you with the sort of people you’re attracted to, boosting the chance you’ll share a much higher degree of synergy with your matches.
As mentioned above, after some time Hobart dating can start to feel a bit limited, especially if you’re looking for someone who’s interested in the long haul. Fortunately, EliteSingles has one of the most diverse membership bases in the country. We pride ourselves on inclusivity; few other sites cater for such a broad range of professions and preferences as we do. The single men and single women using our site come from every walk of life. Whether you’re eager to meet Asian singles, explore the Christian dating scene in Hobart, or just want to find out what older dating is all about, come give us a shot!

Goings on for Hobart singles
There’s been a bit of an epicurean explosion in Hobart over the last few years. So much so that it’s fast becoming one of the Australia’s hottest gastronomic destinations. This is obviously great news if you live in the city, even better if you’re looking for a foodie date spot.
Riding the crest of this culinary wave is Macquarie Street’s Fico. Housed in what was once a newsagents, this unassuming and austere joint serves up some of Tassie’s best eats. The emphasis rests on expertly executed Italian-inspired cuisine served by great staff in simple surroundings. Just let the food do the talking. Another Hobart fave is Templo, a little 20-seater neighbourhood eatery that focuses on doing the basics, really, really well. There’s no menu, only a chalk board, so you can rest assured that the produce is fresh as it gets.

Hobart dating by night
As well as a flourishing food scene, Hobart’s nightlife is also bustling. Whether you enjoy a more sedate tipple in a relaxing pub or prefer the elegance a cocktail (or two) offers, there’s something to quench every thirst. If you fall into the former category, head up Montpelier Retreat and stop off at James Streets famous Preachers. This backstreet boozer is the perfect spot if you want to while away a few hours in good company. Its cosy interior and DIY terrace make it season-proof too.
If beer’s too obvious, spending an evening in North Hobart at Willing Bros. Wine Merchants won’t go amiss. Boasting a solid selection of premium plonks from Tassie and beyond, it’s a great spot if you enjoy a glass and good ambience. Last but not least, swing by Society Salamanca for a classy cocktail (or two!).

Where culture and nature meet
Food and drink covered, let’s turn to Hobart’s booming cultural calendar – one of the reasons so many people flock to Tassie. Failing to mention Moorilla’s word-famous Museum of Old and New Art, aka MONA, would be criminal. Founded by pro-gambler-cum-art-hoarder David Walsh, its iconic burnished cladding and windowless interior make for an ominous space to get arty. With most of the gallery housed underground, it’s a surreal place to wander round (mostly in awe).
When the weather’s good and you feel for being outdoors, going on a walking tour of Hobart’s public art is a great date idea. Head to Hobart City’s homepage where you download a variety of maps for your own private sojourn. If you’re feeling adventurous, nothing beats a hike up Mount Wellington. Few things match the romance of admiring those sweeping panoramas of Hobart glistening in the sunshine.
