We had a lovely stay at the cottage. The set up suited our needs for the weekend and the cottage was cozy and well equipped. Things we liked included the heating flooring in the bathroom, looking out at the cottage garden when it was raining and we were warm inside, the location which was close to the pub (across the road), a morning walk to the rivulet, the wine bar also across the road and cafes and food supplies down the road. The area is central and the cottage makes it a perfect base if you are travelling north or south to explore. Would definitely recommend the cottage and would book again next time we are in Hobart.

Cozy warm and easy to get to everything Hobart has to offer and beyond. The heated flooring was very much needed and felt very luxurious. The garden was gorgeous and I just wished it had been a little bit warmer to enjoy it more. Overall beautiful home that I would happily stay in again.
