A beautiful home for our family to stay in while we explored Hobart! The home had all we needed as interstate visitors. Close to shops, parking available and all the little things we needed in the kitchen, bathroom and laundry.
Thank you so much for the easy check in and departure.
Would highly recommend.
Would highly recommend this property. Very clean. Sufficient amenities. FANTASTIC location! The only downside would be being on a very busy road it was quite noisy overnight.

The Accomdation did not meet our expectations or match the condition and cleanliness shown in the photos when booking. There was a number of un addressed maintenance and damage to the building and fittings. The fit out of kitchen equipment was minimalistic and of basic quality.This made meal preparation more difficult than it should have been. We found the lounge furniture uncomfortable and. The kitchen table surface was so damaged that a table cloth had been placed on it to cover up the damage.

We stayed in the front property and we were immediately disappointed by the living area. The couches are heavily stained and the dining table has a table cloth covering damage to the surface that spans the whole dining table. It was unwelcoming and ultimately a space that we couldn’t comfortably spend time in. The couches are stained to the point that we didn’t sit on them, so it just became a void area. The rest of the house was ok, general wear and tear. I’d recommend you look elsewhere, especially if you’re travelling with kids.
Was a very modern location. Great facilities. Owner was good to deal with.
Only downside was the sound of the traffic at night.
Very good place and would recommend.
Stayed for 5 nights to attend a wedding in Hobart. Property was spacious, well equipped, spotless, modern and in a very convenient location to both Sandy Bay and Hobart city centre. Enjoyed our stay.
Don't want to share this , but you have to stay here
This place looks even better than the photos show. My wife and two teenage boys stayed for 3 nights. Looking out one window we could see the bay and looking the other way and out the other window, we could see the snow on top of Mount Wellington. Just brilliant. It is really well lit and very well equipped and matches everything that you read about the property.
It's a very short walk to the shops in Sandy Bay where there is a huge choice of restaurants and cafe's. Don't bother driving the car to get to them.....just walk.
The only problem I have with sharing this review is that I might not get to stay here as it will book out.
