Come into the Smitten Merino boutique for a memorable and personalised shopping experience. Our designer merino wool clothing is soft, luxurious and stylish with ranges for both men and women. We make dresses, cardigans, leggings, scarves, ponchos, socks, beanies and so much more, right here in Tasmania. Smitten offers comfortable seating and refreshments so that your experience is memorable and enjoyable. As a family business, there are often opportunities to chat with the owner, designer, and daughter Holly (Smitten model) as well as engage with our experienced sales team. Take the time to call in, look around, learn the Smitten story and take home a lightweight, wearable and original piece of Tasmania that will keep you warm for years to come. Located just two minutes walk up from Salamanca Place, the Smitten Merino boutique is a must-see destination only minutes from the Hobart CBD. Easily accessible by bus and ample parking available at the back.

We’re excited to offer a 7 day road and gravel tour of Tasmania. We kick off the first day with an epic summit of the famous Ben Lomond and Jacob’s Ladder. We follow an ‘off the beaten track’ route to Derby as well as traversing the Hydro focused Central Highlands. With the emergence of the gravel scene in the cycling community and the endless forestry and back gravel roads in Tasmania, this tour is not to be missed. Most of the gravel in Tassie is pretty tame, as such tyres with a minimum of 32 mm clearance and disc brakes will suffice, although please note that fatter tyres may be more comfortable. There are a number of steep sections on this route so be prepared to bring your best climbing legs to the party.

Being a female owned and operated company, we are pretty big on helping not just get women into cycling, but to also create a space for women that is unique and special. We are super excited to be presenting our first, of what we hope to be many, female only tours! Our January 2025 tour will have a focus for those training for Falls Creek Peaks Challenge in March. Whether you are planning on entering or simply keen to get a solid weekend of training in with some other women while exploring our beautiful island, this tour is sure to pack a punch!
