Wonderful stay in beautiful surroundings and superb heritage accommodation. Breakfast was an unexpected surprise with Continental European style food which was second to none. Definitely a must stay in Hobart and we will be back for sure. Love the complimentary port and chocolate. That really capped off a wonderful evening.

Best breakfast of a long trip
We did not spend long enough here! Lovely room, wonderful breakfast, really helpful manager and staff. You can stay nearer to town or Battery Point but this is super reasonable and well worth the extra nice walk
