What a great location with easy access to walk to many attractions in Hobart. The apartment was comfortable with good amenities and easy to find. The parking was in the street behind the apartments but still convenient. Overall an enjoyable location in Hobart.
Visited Hobart for the Wooden Boat Festival and other events . This was an excellent location just removed from the crowds attending but close enough to stroll down to the events and surrounding attractions..Harbour views allowed relaxed viewing of on water activities.The accommodation lacked nothing.
We stayed here for 3 nights. The location was great, just a short walk to many places. The apartment was very clean and tidy, and had all the little extras you need. The heaters and electric blankets were very useful! Highly recommended. Thank you!

Great property. Clean and functional. Loved the extras, breaky cereals, sauces and even milk. Only thing was the small ironing board....too small to use properly. Overall wonderful

The property is in a great spot. Nice to have pantry basics, cereal, coffee and fresh milk provided. Comfortable bed. Took a while to get used to the banging of the entry door to the building as it is right outside the flat.
The apartment was bright, really well-equipped and ideally located. We enjoyed a couple of mights after a multi-day hike and everything we could have needed was provided. Carol communicated really clearly about what the apartment offered and the check-in process was seamless.
Can be a bit noisy when people arrived as the ramp to front door is in front of your verandah and the entrance to building is behind the wall where you sit in the unit. Stopped watching the movie as a busload arrived then the noise in floor above as they settled in with their cases. Bedroom quiet but not fully darkened due to light outside on building. Walking distance to Salamanca Markets. Best Fried Rice ever around the corner! Comfy bed, clean unit,great fresh coffee although we used our own. Take your own jam,honey,butter etc for toast next morning. A 2 night stay was perfect.
Carol was delightful. Cosy, clean and comfortable apartment. We stayed a week which was fabulous. Carol conducted a mid clean which was very appreciated. Thanks.
If you are heading to Tassy and are looking for accomodation close to everything - this is the place. Property is super clean & has all the essentials you’ll ever need. Thank you to Carol for letting us stay at her property.
awesome little apartment near enough to everything you could want to see/do in Hobart. very walkable city. it was great that the apartment had parking on site. easy to stash the car and walk around the city
Carol’s property is just lovely, beautifully appointed and lots of lovely little touches throughout. No more than a 5 min walk to both Salamanca and Battery Point Villages
Really enjoyed our time here
