My family of 7 adults and 2 children had a very comfortable stay at this house. The owner was prompt and very helpful at any time we asked for information or advice. The house is set up to be everything you need to be warm and relaxed in a cold Hobart day.

Great family stay
Fantastic sized house for families, has everything. The games (mini table tennis/eightball, plus board games, Wii) were a hit with our group. Very close to CBD. The only down we found is the driveway, very steep, but parking available on the street.

Wonderful stay and a wonderful host
Shelley, our host, was super proactive in ensuring we were set for our stay checking we were set for our arrival and making suggestions on local events during our stay. The property was clean and the kids loved the wallaby visits to the area next door to the house. We cannot wait to come back.

Beautiful home, top quality appliances and fittings throughout, 10 mins to Hobart.
Really well appointed home, close to the city and easy access to Mount Wellington and other tourist spots, i.e. Cascade Brewery, Cascade Female Factory. One point that should be more clearly stated is that access to the property is via many steep steps that are very tricky to navigate when carrying luggage. Apart from this it is a great well appointed and fastidiously clean property.

What a great experience!
My family and I, with another family-total 8 people, were very impressed with our stay. Shelley kept the house clean, tidy, we are warm with the heaters provided, linen, kitchenware, toiletries all provided. Shelley was always helpful, she returns our calls instantly and made sure we were equipped with what we needed. Definitely love to stay there again if we return to Hobart. We highly recommend Shelley’s house.
