Great views! Awesome place!

Amazing location and views! Bathrooms did have a few cleanliness concerns - quite a bit of loose hair found on floor and some rubbish on floor in top bathroom. All in all - house was great and thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Spectacular views of the water and Hobart.

We had a most wonderful stay with our group of 10. The host was very accommodating and let us check in early as well as check out later. We enjoyed our early morning routine watching the sun rise while sipping on hot coffee. Highly recommended.

Absolute brilliant family experience!

A group of family members (12 people ranging from 13 to 75) had a magnificent stay here. Unbelievable views, great communication with owner/manager, very flexible in regards to check-in, check-out. All beds very comfortable, brilliant family dining experience, and the views of Hobart and Mount Wellington are to die for. Thank you so much, we will be back, Peter

Spacious home

The house is very spacious, bedding and beds were good. House seemed to be undergoing a renovation which was unknown before arriving. Cleanliness was not to standard especially kitchen. Generally tired furniture and not luxurious but served its purpose.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Self check in was good. Beds had tissues, rubbish, tablet blister packs behind several. Kitchen had coffee granules, beans, bugs on benches. Some dishes dirty. Cutlery Drawer was filthy. Sugar bowl filthy. Dead flowers in a vase. Rubbish , including a salt shaker behind couches. No bath mats ,face washers in each bathroom. We popped all crockery and cutlery through dishwasher before we could use tgem. Oven was filthy, with food particles and scraps in it. Curtains off runners, carpets stained, trip hazard mats throughout attempting to cover stains. Heating was adequate for cold Tassy. Contacted Peter who arrived to check our complaints and he tried to say things happen, his cleaners dont get enough time to completly clean!!! My advice is SACK the cleaners. Peter didnt even offer us a partial refund, instead he told us to look somewhere else. How the hell would we get 8 people somewhere else in 5 minute notice!!! Just be aware.
