Perfect for our first time in Hobart.

Very quick check-in, got in our apartment- very pleased. Nice and spacious, very handy to have microwave, 2 electric rings, full fridge. Excellent position in Battery Point and 15 mins walk to Salamanca Market & Port area. Easy to walk to Coles or Woolworths along Sandy Bay Road for supplies. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Dark Mofo made lighter 🙂

Great location for anyone attending Dark Mofo or the Salamanca Markets with the markets at the end of the street. The only issue is that it's halfway up a hill and I'm lazy, but fortunately there's electric scooters that took care of that problem. Food is easy to come by (even without the Great Feast running for Dark Mofo) with lots of options around the wharves.

Highly recommended.

The property is well maintained. Very cosy with bedrooms upstairs. The old style window is pretty and interesting. The site has plenty of car parking bays. Close to big Woolworth and has kitchen, so it's very convenient for self catering. The gentleman at reception was super nice and friendly. I would stay again.

Superb 1 bedroom apartment.

When we booked this 1 bedroom apartment was cheaper than the studio apartments so we wondered what would be the catch but there was no catch. The apartment certainly exceeded our expectations. Facilities provided were excellent especially the provision of a washer/dryer in the bathroom, which we made use of. As my partner has a slight disability a wet room would have been preferable but a shower chair was provided on request. Certainly would recommend a stay in the 1 bedroom apartment.
