    Loved the house but a few areas need an update … the couch is really uncomfortable, step upstairs to balcony needs repairing ,rug in dining area needs cleaning / replacing ,electric frying pan didn’t work ,and the plastic plant on porch is not a good look !! I love old buildings and was very happy to stay in one .

    For what we were going to do, this place is conveniently located. We could just walk to the city.

    Nice old style cottage, with a bit of precarious staircase up to the bedrooms. Comfortable beds and sufficient space for four people. Walking distance to everything.

    A well appointed and charming cottage within a short walk of Hobart waterfront. Our hosts were welcoming and any message was answered quickly. It’s also at the bottom of a steep hill so no climbing required either way!

    Well presented, close to TCA and Botanical Gardens, no cover to get to upstairs bathroom when wet, but everything needed for a short stay

    The cottage is compact and comfortable and suited our (a couple) needs perfectly. Everything we required was supplied. The kitchen has all of the cooking equipment you'd ever need and, with Woolworths across the road, it was nice to self-cater rather than always eating out. The main bed is comfy and a selection of pillows was appreciated. Electric blankets came into their own as we struck a cold snap in Hobart. Having two bathrooms was useful, the showers nice and hot and the washer/drier a bonus. It is an easy walk downtown and to the waterfront or up to North Hobart restaurants and cinema. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return one day.

    This property is full of character and suits people who don’t need a lot of space, as it is compact. Wi-Fi was excellent, the shower terrific and the and beds were comfortable. Note there is no dishwasher, which wasn’t an issue for us, and the 4th bed is actually a trundle bed. This is not listed. The second bathroom upstairs is separated from the house, via an external balcony.
