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

Great location for big family
The location is perfect for a visit to Hobart- tons of room in the house and plenty of space for a big family. Lovely property with gorgeous views- enjoyed many evenings sitting on the porch and enjoying the beautiful summer.

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

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.

Property with a view
Thanks to Peter for being an accomodating host, we enjoyed our time there.
This property has a great view of Mt Wellington, beautiful sunset. It’s just 15-20 mins from Hobart so pretty convenient.
