How far above an ordinary night
In Hobart, 7 of the 69 compared nights asked 15% or more above nearby nights of their kind; the largest difference was +107%, on Monday 28 December 2026.
| Difference against nearby nights of its kind | Nights | Share of measured nights |
|---|---|---|
| +30% or more | 5 | 7% |
| +15% to +29% | 2 | 3% |
| 0% to +14% | 32 | 46% |
| Below 0% | 30 | 43% |
| Not compared | 0 | 0% |
Not compared: fewer than 3 measured nights of the same kind within 7 days, or a difference above +150%, which reads as a broken scan rather than a market. Nights priced more than 3 times above or below the window's middle are already left out of the window.
The most expensive weekends (Friday + Saturday)

| 27 November 2026 | 28 November 2026 | $181 | $184 | $364 |
A weekend is listed only when both its Friday and its Saturday night were measured; the sum adds two medians and is not the price of any one stay.
Stretches of high prices
In Hobart, the longest run of consecutive nights each 15% or more above nearby nights of its kind goes from 27 December 2026 to 30 December 2026 (4 nights), peaking at $391 on Tuesday 29 December 2026.
| From | To | Nights | Highest median | Largest difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27 December 2026 | 30 December 2026 | 4 | $391 | +107% |
A run needs at least two consecutive measured nights; a night not measured or not compared ends it.
Events and holidays on measured nights
In Hobart, published events and holidays on measured nights: 2; the one furthest above nearby nights of its kind was the night of Friday 25 December 2026 (Christmas Day): +50%, a median of $266.

| Saturday 26 December 2026 | Boxing Day | $296 | +11% | 6 of 69 |
An event or holiday is listed only where its night was measured and compared; an event found automatically also needs a source and a difference of at least +15%. The difference belongs to the night: it says what that night asked, not why.
