Wrest Point
We stayed in a waterfront room to the side of the tower. The room was an older style but comfortable and the view was lovely...although a clean would be good...ours had bird poo across it. The staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of open air carparks. We loved the restaurants and bars being on ...

Grosvenor Court Apartments Hobart
Very quiet area considering it’s so close to supermarkets and excellent eateries. Not too bad of a walk over to city centre and plenty to look at on the way. Unit was well stocked for our week stay - we appreciated the heater being on when we arrived on a cold summer’s night.
