Thanks for taking the time to leave such a kind review. It’s great to hear the apartment suited your family and made your day trips from Franklin Wharf easy. You were wonderful guests and are very welcome back anytime.
wonderful location - so close to the harbour and Salamanca market as well as getting out to places like Mt Wellington and Richmond. The layout was really good - having 3 floors allowed us to have our own space and shared space and the kitchen/living area was lovely. Well equipped kitchen (aside from a slightly temperamental oven). The host was wonderful, providing lots of information and making check in easy. Good to have parking. Would stay again.

This property is in a fantastic location and has everything you need for a group of people staying for a holiday. The host answers any questions instantly and has everything set up for a problem free stay. The property is just a few minutes walk to cafes, restaurants and shops and has parking which makes for an easy stay. We ate out every night but everything is there if you want to stay in and cook. Everything inside feels like a luxurious touch such as Sheridan towels and quality bedding and you feel like you're in a hotel. I recommend this property and will definitely be back for another stay. Thank you to the owners for such a quality home away from home. Thank you also for supplying umbrellas ! They were something we had not packed and yet needed so we were grateful for the added touch !
We had a great stay. Hosts were great! Quick responses to messages. Lovely and clean. Comfortable beds. Had everythong we needed. Close to so many beautiful things Hobart has to offer.Very comfortable stay! Highly recommend!

I’m so glad you found the place comfortable, clean, and well equipped, and that everything met your needs during your stay. Quick communication and a welcoming space are really important to me, so it’s great to hear that came through.
This is exactly why I love living in this location myself — it’s close to so many beautiful parts of Hobart while still being a comfortable, relaxing place to come home to. I’m delighted you were able to enjoy that as well.
You were wonderful guests, and I’d happily host you again anytime.
All the best!

So pleased you had a wonderful stay Jenny. Wishing you safe onward travels.
Was a good location right near the waterfront. Daniel had good communication with getting into the property and us addressing our needs. With the road noise it was quite hard for us to sleep but the beds were comfortable!

Many thanks for staying, and for your review Stephanie. So pleased our apartment was everything you needed for a wonderful stay. The benefits of being in the middle of the city make access to all areas and events so simple, but the unfortunate trade off is that of regular traffic and traffic noise. Wishing you a safe onward journey and would love to host you again if you’re ever back this way.
Perfect location for Dark Mofo – just a 5-minute walk to Dark Park and right by the wharf where all the action is! The rooms and beds were super comfortable, and the space was just right for the four of us, especially on our recovery days between festival events. Would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended!

Thankyou for staying Bec, and would love to host you again into the future. Safe travels.
Dan and Jan’s apartment was fantastic. Looked exactly like it did in photos. Bedrooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable, kitchen/living room were ideal with everything we needed. The location was perfect … quick walk down to the waterfront and Salamanca with lots of pubs and cafes. If you’re thinking about a Hobart holiday this accommodation ticks all the boxes.

Many thanks for your kind words Lisa, and so pleased that you had a wonderful time in Hobart. We wish you a safe onward journey and would love to have you stay again if your ever back down this way.
Daniel was the best host. When we had to cancel our booking last year he was so understanding and accommodating. He was always prompt and clear with communication. When we finally made it to Hobart we had such a great stay. It’s such a comfy, warm and well furnished apartment. Really comfy beds, Necessities supplied in the bathroom and pantry, and board games to play. A lovely short walk to the markets and plenty of eateries close by. 10/10. Thanks :)

Many thanks for your kind words Anne. So wonderful having you stay, and would love to have you stay again if you ever venture back down this way.
Three of us had a wonderful ladies 4 day break in Hobart staying at this apartment. The place was exactly as described and depicted on the website. It was clean, beautifully furnished and had everything we needed. It was in a great location that allowed an easy stroll to the waterfront, restaurants and cafes. We also hired a car and used the secure parking available. I was extremely happy with the host's fast and helpful communication. The details for access to all amenities were given and even included photos with the directions as needed. I would happily recommend this apartment to anyone planning to visit Hobart!
We had a wonderful stay in this great apartment which couldn’t have a better location. We appreciated the free parking and the proximity to so much of what Hobart offers. The apartment is clean, comfortable and modern, well equipped and spacious so it was perfect for our group of five adults. It would also be good for even a couple as the area is split between levels so you can live in a smaller zone of the apartment or for a larger group everyone can have their own space to spread out as required.Daniel is a wonderful host, easy to reach and very helpful. We would definitely stay here again and look forward to returning to Hobart. It was really a home away from home! Thank you so much Dan and Jan!

About the host
Hosted by Daniel Tattersall
I live and work in Hobart and feel very fortunate to call this part of the world home. When I’m travelling and doing my own worldly exploring, I open up my place to respectful guests who want a comfortable base in the city.
I enjoy sharing local recommendations and helping visitors experience Hobart as a local would. I take pride in maintaining a welcoming home and appreciate guests who treat it with the same care.
Why they chose this property
I chose to live here because Hobart is such a picturesque and easy city to enjoy. I love being in central Hobart, where cafés, the waterfront and Salamanca are all within walking distance, yet the building itself remains quiet and residential.
What makes this property unique
This home is centrally located while remaining quiet and comfortable. As it’s my primary residence, it’s been furnished for everyday living rather than as a typical short-stay property.
The furnishings — including the beds and lounge — were chosen for comfort and quality. The aim is a relaxed, lived-in space where guests can feel at ease.
