Spacious home
The house is very spacious, bedding and beds were good. House seemed to be undergoing a renovation which was unknown before arriving. Cleanliness was not to standard especially kitchen. Generally tired furniture and not luxurious but served its purpose.

Spectacular views of the water and Hobart.
We had a most wonderful stay with our group of 10. The host was very accommodating and let us check in early as well as check out later. We enjoyed our early morning routine watching the sun rise while sipping on hot coffee. Highly recommended.
