Lovely place to stay, great location,15-20 mins walk to Hobart. Great pizza shop 2 streets up from location. Would stay here again if we visited Hobart again.
accommodation was perfectly set up for our 8 night stay. Check-in instructions simple to follow. Close to CBD and well stocked grocery store in nearby Hill St for provisions. Some great cafes in close proximity. The house is well maintained with modern facilities. Highly recommend this accommodation.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Excellent location
Well equipped kitchen and bathroom.Bedrooms very comfortable.Bathroom could do with a little more attention to detail when cleaning is done.Excellent electrical equipment in kitchen and sitting room.Great location to CBD, North & West Hobart.
Lovely cottage that was clean and warm for our stay.The couches in the lounge room, however, move severely when getting up and down. They are too low and not at all appealing when they shift under you.
