Recommended Travel Adaptor for Hobart
We’ve reviewed and tested a wide range of adaptors ourselves. Safety, charging speed and durability were all compared. This is the one we trust and recommend.
Didn’t pack an adaptor? You can still grab one when you arrive. Still, it’s better to bring your own than risk paying too much for something unreliable.
Hobart is commonly visited along with New Zealand and Fiji. Plug types may be similar, but it’s smart to confirm the details before you go.
Sockets in Hobart
Hobart uses Type I plugs and sockets.
Type I
Type I sockets have two flat angled pins and sometimes a vertical earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type I sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
A voltage converter only helps if the supply is different. In Hobart the mains voltage lines up with the UK, so there’s no need.
Always check the voltage label before you plug in abroad. If it reads ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, your kit will work just fine without a converter — most modern laptops, tablets and chargers already do.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
It’s not just your adaptor that matters when you’re abroad. A digital luggage scale keeps check-in drama at bay, a power bank gives you peace of mind on long journeys, and packing cubes make your suitcase far easier to manage. Once you’ve tried them, you’ll wonder how you coped before.
