Outstanding property.higly recommend
the property was immaculate, the location brilliant. EXACTLY as advertised. It is right on the route for the hop-on hop-off bus about 400m away. The local park is gorgeous, the pub across the road has food for the BIGGEST eaters, and the Wine bar cafe SOUTH just up the road is a MUST DO. You will need a matchbox on wheels to get your car into the garage, with cars blocking the turning circle it was just not possible, but I managed a park in the back street no worries, you just have to time it right. I would happily stay here again. top notch

Gorgeous Cottage and Location
We visited Hobart to attend Dark Mofo. We could walk into the city, great cafe nearby and each morning we would wake up to viewing Mt Wellington out the front door. Hobart was great, Dark Mofo was great and this little cottage was warm, comfortable and had everything we needed. It was a great holiday with our family
