Bridport was the first place that I saw Bass Strait on my run around Tasmania.
When I got to Bridport I stayed in the Bridport Hotel. It is in a brilliant spot – smack bang in the middle of town and right next door to the IGA.
As well as providing great accommodation you can head downstairs and have some dinner at their great restaurant!
The Bridport Hotel was a great place to stay for a decent price – highly recommended.
Recently on my run around Tasmania I stayed in St Helens Backpackers on the north-east coast of Tasmania.
It was a great place for me to stay – cheap, comfortable and friendly staff. When I say cheap I mean cheap – it was only $25 per night!!!
The backpackers is close to the centre of town (only a 2-3 minute walk) which has an IGA so you can buy some food to cook or the manager is more than happy to tell you where the best food in town is!
Overall a great place to stay if you’re after budget accommodation.

Recently I ran around Tasmania. I stayed in 27 different places and the first place I stayed was in St Marys Hotel.
St Marys is up the top of Elephant Pass on the East coast of Tasmania – just south of St Helens.
The service was great and the meals are a decent size!!
Overall St Marys Hotel is a great place to stay if you’re after cheap accommodation on the east coast of Tasmania – well worth a visit.

On my recent run around Tasmania I stayed in 27 different places.
Have to say that the pick was the brilliant Weldborough Hotel up just inland on the East Coast (on the way to Derby and Scottsdale).
The team are super friendly, the meals are brilliant quality and the accommodation is terrific value.
At just $60 per night, the Weldborough Hotel provides old style accommodation with new age service and care.
Very highly recommended – tell them Jack sent you and the guys and gals will be sure to give you a few extra chips on your meal!
