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.

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

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
