About this property

PAPA JOE APARTMENT

This Apartment is the lower floor of the house where I live.
It has been recently created and is practical and of modern design.
It has its own bathroom, kitchen( outdoor cooking facilities) and Covered Patio, outdoor setting, ideal for a hot or cold drink outside, in a very serene and relaxing environment
It is in a very quiet area, being 50 m away from the road,
. The queen size Bed is very accommodating for a good night sleep, and should you have a 3rd guest, a single mattress is available ($15 extra per night )
A lovely park (Poimena) dominating panoramic views on top of the street. The famous Mona Museum and resort only few minutes away. and Cadbury within walking distance. Other parks and walking tracks make you feel like going for a walk every morning ( I do.)
Claremont village is 3 min away ( 15 min walk).
The apartment is very accommodating, generous and practical.
There are always some basic food to keep you going.
Tee, coffee, bread milk, butter, jam, cereals....

The reason I listed my Apartment and decided to rent it out is mainly to make friends and interact with people from all over the world ( if they like to).

So give me a try, and you will not regret it.

Great accommodation
Staying with Joe felt like staying with family in the nicest way. Communication was clear and friendly, everything was taken care of, and the room itself is exactly as listed. Joe was so lovely and warm, even invited me up for a drink and a chat. When he discovered I was a musician he was more than happy to lend me his guitar for the duration of the stay. This is the perfect home base to go out and explore the city from. Would 100% stay again.

Papa Joe: warm, friendly and very hospitable. Great location
Joe makes you feel so welcome and comfortable, Joe wants his guests to have all they need. Great location, accessible to many destinations!! Amazing views, outlook to Mt Wellington. Has a friendly hello and a big smile. We had all we needed, bed and linen very comfortable. Kitchen is very well appointed, Joe gives above and beyond, providing home made biscuits, bread, cold meat and cheese, variety of tea bags, bottle of wine. We would stay again. Joe’s guest book for feedback says it all, everyone wants to go back and stay in Joe’s downstairs apartment.

Papa Joe is an extremely warm and welcoming host and goes out of his way to make sure his guests have a good experience and are well looked after. The place was great for a couple as a base for day trips. Safe, quiet, comfortable with all the basic equipment one needs, even lovely leaf tea was provided. Easy access to main roads to Hobart and National parks, supermarket two minutes drive. Definitely will stay with Papa Joe on our next trip to Tasmania if we are in the same area!
