Wonderful views and a great location for our long weekend stay in Hobart. Comfortable lodgings with attentive, responsive hosts. How nice to have that first morning breakfast supplied and to be able to pick from the garden. The driveway, as most of Sandy Bay, is steep but manageable but free driveway parking is always a plus.. Having a washer and dryer in the apartment was much appreciated.
