“This is a good Hobart hotel. It's well located with easy access to all the local sights, restaurants, waterside activities. Hotel staff are professional if somewhat impersonal, and very efficient. The rooms are of a good standard and all the expected amenities are available. Although situated in the middle of things, our room was quiet. This hotel has a good reputation and we were not disappointed.”

“After reading many negative reviews I decided to try it nevertheless because of the casino at the base. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of service beautiful peaceful surroundings good choice of restaurants and activities available. The birdcage had live music every night. They have expanded their casino although small it is adequate. Our room was an executive which had been refurbished and directly overlooked the water. It was 5 star. My only compliant is that although I arrived at 2pm I was unable to check in because the room wasn't ready until 1430 and I had asked for elevation and received 5th floor from a choice of 16. That simply isnt good enough however I was given complimentary drink each while we waited. In my opinion its the best place to stay in hobart.”

“We snuck away for a late planned 3 day weekend and were fortunate the hotel had capacity for us (there were several conferences on). We stayed in a Superior Harbour View room the first night and a Superior Mountain View room the second night. Both were very spacious and comfortable with great views and good wifi (if your budget allows go for the Superior Harbour). It's not the trendiest hotel in Hobart, but we were pleasantly surprised at how nice the indoor pool and gymnasium were and the buffet breakfast was great. To cap this off the staff were extremely friendly and very accommodating. We would have enjoyed our long weekend in Hobart regardless, but the quality of the service and facilities on offer at the Grand Chancellor made this a really memorable visit.”

“every villa has a stunning vista of hobart from 200ft up. what brochures don't tell you is that hobart is VERY hilly. so to stay at the villa, be best advised to have your own mode of transport to get around. the villa did not have restaurant facilities but is a short drive to the centre of town where you will be spoilt for choice. there is also a park behind the villas that is worth a walk and a chance encounter with local wildlife.”

“The Best Western Hobart is in an excellent location and it's an easy walk to everywhere. The bathroom is very small and the whole room is a bit dated and worn, however the bed is super comfy. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was yummy. Good value for money for a Hobart Hotel.”

“Conveniently located near Salamanca Place at Battery Point , St Ives is definitely an ideal location to stay if you are visiting Hobart. Theres a Coles and Woolsworth not far away as well to stock up on groceries to cook in the lovely kitchen provided. A 30min drive to the top of Mount Wellington, less than 10min drive to Cat and Fiddle Shopping arcade in downtown Hobart. The staff were lovely as well. Overall a great 3 nights stay.”

“My partner and I stayed at the Ibis Hotel in Hobart on the 3rd on Nov for a night. Georgia at the front desk was very helpful. She talked me through parking and made sure we took our bags upstairs first as it was a bit of a walk! Room was perfect for two. Clean and neat. Thank you!”

“Went for Dark Mofo festival and MONA never stayed at Henry Jones before but I have been to Tasmania and Hobart many times in the last 15 years. I didn't set my sights too high but I was very pleasantly surprised. Great hotel one of the best in Australia! I'll be back for sure.”

“We recently stayed at Sullivan Cove Apartments in the IXL complex in Hobart in a 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment was very spacious and the staff were very helpful. The design of the ensuite bathroom for the main bedroom was a little ill-thought out: a double open shower in a small space meant the rest of the bathroom (toilet, floor, sink area) got drenched if anyone had a shower due to the lack of screen. The ventilation in this bathroom was also lacking which meant it was a little musty in smell. However, there was a second bathroom which was better ventilated and had a shower/bath set-up, which was more than ample. The wifi signal was not particularly reliable, but otherwise all the mod cons of the room were more than sufficient. Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, easy check-in and check-out process, and all within great proximity to popular restaurants, bars, and harbour sites. I'd certainly stay with Sullivan Cove Apartments again if I were to ever revisit Hobart.”

“the hotel is situated in the central of Hobart and you can easily access to many tourists attractions in Hobart. Hotel staffs are generally friendly and helpful. The room is neat and tidy. It is definitely a good choice if what you ask for is convenience.”

“I tried two hotels in Hobart and I think this is the best in terms of the location and price. It only takes 5 mins walk to the bus station to Launceston and 7 mins walk to the pier. You can book local tour at the front desk. This is very helpful for tourist. I would try it again if I go to Hobart.”

“We stayed in 3 hotels in Hobart, but this is the best one!”

“Somerset On Salamanca is perfect place for a relaxing, quite, next to home accommodation for couples and even business travelllers and easily accessible to most major places of interest when visiting Hobart. The room is comfortable, clean, quite and has a great view of Derwent River and its harbour right at your balcony. The staff were very accommodating as exemplified in particular by Bria who even insisted on dropping us off to our airport shuttle pick up point as it was raining on our check out day. Thanks for the wonderful and memorable days at Somerset on Salamanca.”

“we had a great time, the reception staff were all excellent with my enquiries about local areas and information on how to get there. the restaurant meals were great and service was prompt with friendly staff. I would definitely stay there again and recommend the motel to any friends who may be travelling to Hobart. my son was entertained by 'blindy' the duck and we used the barbecue facilities which were ample for our needs.”

“It is only a few minutes to New Town and less than 15 minutes to North Hobart / Hobart. The room is very basic but all facilities are there. Bed is comfortable and bathroom contains all amenities. Shower gels, hand lotions etc are from dispensers. There is a communal kitchen if you want to cook. Reception and cleaning staff are very friendly and helpful. There is enough parking space in the Lodge and there is also street parking. For the price you pay compared with the price in the Hobart CBD, it is value for money.”

“when you just need to get a bath and a comfortable bed right out from a long haul flight, this hotel is a godsend. the cabin has 2 bedrooms - one with a queen bed and the other a double. there is a fridge, stove and tv - just about everything you'd expect of a cabin near city. and most importantly, this place is quiet. hobart is 15 minutes away - please be aware of speed cameras on the bridge across the bay. my family used this place to visit hobart, bruny island and port arthur. while not the best located for sightseeing hobart city itself, this is definitely a good choice for driving around the south-eastern areas of tasmania.”

“Great old hotel that has traded as a hotel longer than any other hotel in Hobart. Checking in was quick and efficient and we were directed to your room. Climbing historic staircases and looking down a long hallway that has dropped a little overtime we entered our room which was enormous. So large that the TV was about 7 metres from the bed end. Bathroom was fine and towels were very generous and soft. The room was very quiet and the curtains turned day into night and made it easy to sleep in. Breakfast was a choice from buffet to set menu and was very nice and arrived quickly and hot. The only problem we had was with our credit card type door key which failed us about 6 times, something that needs updating and the staff were sorry and embarrassed by this issue. Checking out was also quick and efficient and we could leave our bags whilst awaiting airport transfers. Enjoyed my stay and a drink at the old bar with great old history is memorable.”

“We have stayed at Woolmers twice before. It is reasonably cheap for accommodation in Hobart. The rooms are definitly a bit dated and could do with some work. We stayed in winter and our heater kept on shorting out the circuits in the room. The fan in the bathroom also did not work. The best thing about Woolmers is the location. You are a 5min walk to shops and restaurants of Sandy Bay, a 10min walk to Salamanca and 20min walk to the casino. Not sure if I would want to stay there again but may have to as prices of other hotels in Hobart are quite high”

“I'm so happy to stay at Montacute for 2 nights and it's the best backpacker hostel I've ever been to! Everything is very clean and tidy. People are nice and quiet at night. I had very good deep sleep. Also, the owners are very friendly and not just run their family business for money only. They take care of backpackers. For example, beds are very comfty and high quality Tasmanian made bed linens are provided. This bunkhouse is always fully booked so don't miss the chance if you see any available room. I stayed in Hobart for 3 nights but couldn't book this for 1 night :(”

“Nice hotel in Hobart. The Asian eateries in the hotel complex close late (9 pm i think). There's a supermarket just across the road. There's also a macdonalds down the road. Car park is a bit small so do be careful if driving a large car. Overall, I had a nice and pleasant stay.”

“Battery Point is the most attractive and convenient place to stay in Hobart. From Blue Hills it's a lovely walk past attractive houses and gardens to Salamanca Place with its excellent cafes, restaurants and shops and of course the famous Salamanca markets on Saturdays with over 300 stalls. Motel rooms are very comfortable and the staff very obliging to fulfil requests.”

“I TRAVEL OFTEN FOR BUSINESS AND THIS OFFERED ALL THE THINGS I NEED/ WANT IN A ROOM - GREAT BED EXCELLENT BATHROOM PLENTY OF SPACE TO WORK AND RELAX-SMALL KITCHEN AREA- GREAT VALUE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST $9 AU- LOCATION WITH GREAT ACCESS TO MAIN AREAS OF HOBART WATERFRONT ETC- FREE EASY PARKING VERY MODERN BUT TASTEFUL DECORATION FLAT SCREEN TELE AND DVD CD - ROOM RATE SUCH GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY FOR WHAT YOU GET I WILL BE STAYING AGAIN FOR SURE, AND THE STAFF VERY VERY HELPFUL AND PLEASANT.”

“We enjoyed our stay for a night. We are far enough to avoid the hustle and bustle of Hobart CBD but close enough to venture into Hobart whenever we want.”

“mantra one sandy bay road apartments are in a great location opposite lovely gardens and 5 minute walk to hobart cbd, salamenca and battery point. we stayed for one night ina one bedroom suite on the second floor looking back over the mountains. the room was huge, clean, comfortable and modern! we didn’t fly out until late on our last day and the staff organised for our bags to be stored for the day and for someone to get them out when we wanted to leave. reception were very helpful with tourist and non-touristy things to do around hobart. we will definitely be back, next time for longer!”

“Amidst good reviews and having had good previous experiences we hit a bad day. Our room was great and overall the hotel remains in the top end of Hobart accomodation. Our experience was spoilt due to management not putting enough staff on in the breakfast room. Double time obviously an issue. This is the result of being MEAN. It was mothers Day !! We booked the Winter Special, includes complimentary breakfast. Arrived at the breakfast room at 9.15. Buffet breakfast was set out but almost empty. 30 + patrons awaited service by one front of house for hot breakfast orders. We learnt only one cook was rostered on !! We asked politely for service to the overworked floor staff to be told there was an hours wait for hot breakfast !!! Check out is in 45 minutes . The waiter said there were external bookings for Mothers Days and he did not know why there were no staff allocated. Other hotel guests were seen leaving without any service or breakfast. We sought redress at reception to be told it is Sunday and staff are not rostered on !!! This is an objective review and we find it hard to believe standards could slip so far. Please review your human resources and return to higher standards. AND why offer services that cannot be provided. We where inHobart for a funeral and had time commitments. We were very disappointed that our expectations were not met. Reception, front of house server and chef did not handle well the questions we asked regarding the way the breakfast worked. So disappointing.”

“The hostel is clean and comfy, and the staffs are really nice! Definitely the best choice considering a budget accommodation.”

“Great little backpackers, just outside Hobarts CBD. I really enjoyed staying here. The staff were friendly, helpful and accomodating. Breakfast was included in the price and was very decent. Toast, cereal, tea, coffee, orange juice etc... They even supplied morning papers to read over breakfast. I was attending a course in town for the week so not the usual backpacker. I would suggest bringing some earplugs though as I had some of the worst snorers ever in my dorm, but once I worked this out I slept very well. The mattresses are thin foam ones but good enough to sleep on. The hotel looks to employ other backpacker from around the globe to do the cleaning etc... which makes perfect sense due to their multi lingual capacity. Their is also a small kitchette avalable for lunch and dinner preparation and a fridge which was very handy. All in all a very positive experience, one I would definitely recommend to others. I for one will be returning if I'm down that way again. 🙂”

“If you’re looking for a charming, fun hostel to meet people to travel around Tassie, look no further. They have free shuttle buses to take you to see the MONA and Mt Wellington every week. They also have a pool table, Netflix, Foosball table, guitars in case you want to stay in. The staff are the absolute best! Dean, Emily or John can tell you about the events going on around the city and point you in the best direction if you can’t decide what to do with your day. Matt the Night Manager keeps the place quiet after 11 pm so that the other guests can get a good nights sleep. They have a couple of old school fireplaces in the common areas to keep you warm. The only con was the room I stayed in was a bit cold but that could just have been my room. I didn’t mind because the bedding was warm enough. I Booked for 3 days but ended up extending For another 8 days.”

“Cosy little room for my week spent in Hobart. The counter staff always provided clear directions to where I wanted to go and that made it so much easier! The room had all that I needed (mirror, heater for this cold weather!) :) I was lucky to have the toilet right outside so it was very convenient! Would definitely come back again :)”

“I'm so happy to stay at Montacute for 2 nights and it's the best backpacker hostel I've ever been to! Everything is very clean and tidy. People are nice and quiet at night.

“Hostel is located right in the heart of the CBD, so a very central location. Staff are really lovely and accommodating, even was lucky enough to be upgraded to a 2 bed dorm for 3 out of the 4 nights I stayed. Hostel is clean and cheerful, and beds are very comfortable. Only negatives I would say is that the central location does make it extremely noisy, I am a heavy sleeper but was constantly woken by the church bells ringing nearby. Also the swipe cards are extremely sensitive, I was locked out twice and another guest staying had to get her card reactivated 5 times!Given that the hostel is only open 8am - 10pm you are screwed if this happens out of hours. Overall a good hostel in Hobart.”

“The location of hotel us excellent, close to Richmond bridge and Richmond Bakery. The room is large and good natural light from windows. Highly recommend.”

“It is only a few minutes to New Town and less than 15 minutes to North Hobart / Hobart. The room is very basic but all facilities are there. Bed is comfortable and bathroom contains all amenities. Shower gels, hand lotions etc are from dispensers. There is a communal kitchen if you want to cook. Reception and cleaning staff are very friendly and helpful. There is enough parking space in the Lodge and there is also street parking. For the price you pay compared with the price in the Hobart CBD, it is value for money.”

“We had a bit of trouble spotting it but the room was lovely and we could cook our own dinner! overall a great stay.”

“Had a wonderful stay at the Astor, a warm welcome and warm, cosy room on a particularly wet and frosty weekend in Hobart. Lots within walking distance - positioned right between Salamanca and the CBD. Everything was very clean and the bathroom was right across the hall from my room. Would definitely stay again. Thanks!”

“While the room rates are of good value and include a light breakfast if you have a car it is an extra $12 to access the hotel car park. In Hobart most hotel car parks are free, with a security code to control the use.. For this hotel you pay $12 to get the security code.”

“Check-in was fuss-free, I was given the pin to front door and the security locker for my room key on the morning of check-in, as promised. Location is great - supermarket and many cafes nearby, just need to walk 5 mins to Franklin Square for bus stops to board airport express.”

“Our stay at the Hobart Tower Motel over the busy New Year period was quite pleasant and enjoyable. Parking was ample with easy access, and staff were very informative, efficient and helpful. While not a luxury hotel by any stretch, we thought it was very good, honest value for money, with all requisite essentials and facilities clean and in good order. The location being a short bus or taxi ride to the centre of Hobart was perfect as it avoided the need to drive. Local shops, cafes and restaurants were fifteen minutes walk away. My only suggestion for improvement was better block-out curtains to avoid disturbance from exterior ceiling lights.”

“I stayed at Mornington Hobart as a base to explore Hobart. It is only 10 mins drive from airport so it was a excellent for first day arrival and last day when flying out. Place is clean and nearby about 5 to 7 mins drive is a supermarket Coles and Woolworth. Very convenient. Kitchen is also complete with stove, pot, pan, plates and knives. The 5 berth comes with a fire place which is very warm. Only disadvantage is slight noise from the highway behind which does not bother me too much as we are used to noise living in a city. If you are a light sleeper it may not suit you.”

“Great location. Fantastic price. Incredible hosts!! One of the best accommodation I've ever stayed at.”

“Well-equipped cabin located close to the Hobart airport. Checked in late due to flight delayed and left early morning to catch sunrise at Mount Wellington the next day. Unfortunately din't have the chance to look around the place.”

“Good size rooms and very comfortable with great view over Hobart and the water. Good value relative to other accommodation.”

“we had a great time, the reception staff were all excellent with my enquiries about local areas and information on how to get there. the restaurant meals were great and service was prompt with friendly staff. I would definitely stay there again and recommend the motel to any friends who may be travelling to Hobart. my son was entertained by 'blindy' the duck and we used the barbecue facilities which were ample for our needs.”

“We enjoyed our stay for a night. We are far enough to avoid the hustle and bustle of Hobart CBD but close enough to venture into Hobart whenever we want.”

“Stayed for 4 nights From the breakfast pack each day to the free drink voucher each day they give you at check in to check out it’s a great place for the money. Food was great there and plenty up and down the road to eat. Enjoyed food there most nights as it was so easy and good value meals the one night I had pizza across the road was just as good Super clean rooms with everything you need. No noise from hotel Staff were nice and helpful. Great value for the price and not far from Hobart so suited me fine. Had a hire car and it was the perfect place that suited what I had to do around town.”

“We enjoyed 8 nights at Harringtons 102 Hotel. Our only complaints, rock hard pillows on the bed. (The bed itself was excellent!) and no free parking in the area at all! Apart from those two issues we have no hesitation in recommending Harringtons 102 Hotel, it's a great (budget) place to stay in Hobart!”

“Battery Point is the most attractive and convenient place to stay in Hobart. From Blue Hills it's a lovely walk past attractive houses and gardens to Salamanca Place with its excellent cafes, restaurants and shops and of course the famous Salamanca markets on Saturdays with over 300 stalls. Motel rooms are very comfortable and the staff very obliging to fulfil requests.”

“Lovely older building set walking distance to the Casino and a short drive to Battery Point Salmanca markets and Hobart. A reasonable contanentsl breakfast in a comfortable setting , friendly staff. The room was a good size bathroom a little tight but cant say we didn't enjoy our stay.”

“Very good location. Walking distance to the Hobart city and the whaft. Fantastic view over the bay. Large room with colonial feel and friendly and helpful staff. Whole family enjoy the stay.”

“Family owned this place sits just at the edge of the CBD overlooking Hobart. The decor is retro but facilities are excellent - comfortable bed, spacious rooms and bathroom. The fact that it is in a large plot of land makes for easy parking, without having to worry where to park later. Salamanca and the wharf are only 15 minutes walk away, making this a good base if you only plan to stay in Hobart (the city for a day or two) before driving around the Tasman Peninsula, Huon Valley or the Southwest National Park.”

“Went for Dark Mofo festival and MONA never stayed at Henry Jones before but I have been to Tasmania and Hobart many times in the last 15 years. I didn't set my sights too high but I was very pleasantly surprised. Great hotel one of the best in Australia! I'll be back for sure.”

“We recently stayed at Sullivan Cove Apartments in the IXL complex in Hobart in a 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment was very spacious and the staff were very helpful. The design of the ensuite bathroom for the main bedroom was a little ill-thought out: a double open shower in a small space meant the rest of the bathroom (toilet, floor, sink area) got drenched if anyone had a shower due to the lack of screen. The ventilation in this bathroom was also lacking which meant it was a little musty in smell. However, there was a second bathroom which was better ventilated and had a shower/bath set-up, which was more than ample.

Overall, it was a very pleasant stay, easy check-in and check-out process, and all within great proximity to popular restaurants, bars, and harbour sites. I'd certainly stay with Sullivan Cove Apartments again if I were to ever revisit Hobart.”

“I stayed at the Penthouse loft for my mini-honeymoon. Great location for a couple or family holiday due to the short walking distance to the Salamanca market, Mona ferry, and reputable restaurants. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended and I will come again when I visit Hobart.”

“Small luxurious hotel but does not skimp on services. Friendly staff who all seem to enjoy what they are doing and takes their time explaining things to you. Very comfortable king size bed, clean and modern bathroom with quality toiletries. Very yummy breakfast, especially the vanilla porride and perfectly cooked eggs and baked beans. You can order whatever you want for breakfast. We also had dinner there and it was delicious and not over priced. Also free minibar, free dvd and games, free muffins and biscuits, and free coffee (real coffee) that you can have made for you anytime. At a glance, it seems more expensive than other hotels in Hobart, but with all these included, I think it's a really good value considering what you pay in Sydney or Melbourne! (but don't increase the price!)”

“The upstairs room had a very low roof, constantly banging my head, stairs are narrow, not sure how they passed building codes, had a fall taking suitcase down the stairs.”

“Lovely older building set walking distance to the Casino and a short drive to Battery Point Salmanca markets and Hobart. A reasonable contanentsl breakfast in a comfortable setting , friendly staff. The room was a good size bathroom a little tight but cant say we didn't enjoy our stay.”

“great spot 10 minutes to hobart, very close proximity to kingston blackmans bay, margate, cygnet and huonville magnificent scenery nearby and interesting place to visit. The villa itself great service, great breakfast which was included in package set us for the day. Rooms were clean maybe could do with a newer bed in the room we had, and a more comfortable couch or seats would be my only suggestions. Loved the pool great relax at the end of day!”

“We were sad to leave at he end of the week. One of the best stays ever and such a great first Tassie visit. Only staying another couple of nights and catching he Aurora could best our stay. Pros + Gorgeous view + Close to Tangara trails and beach + Breakfast starter pack + Lovely hosts, great attention to detail + Books, DVDs + Dishwasher, washing machine, vacuum + Nice, soft bed + Big repellent (great help when we had a huntsman visitor) Can’t think of anything we didn’t love out here.”

“It was really relax and enjoy when staying in library house. Owner was nice and helpful ! Highly recommend !”

“the house is so clean and pretty that my little ones didn't want to leave. the host was very friendly and provided us some milk and bread for our stay. the spa was excellent but unfortunately we accidentally turned off the temperature and couldn't enjoy it after the first night. very well organised dvd list and pretty courtyard. not walkable to shopping centre but it is only a few mins drive. highly recommended.”

“every villa has a stunning vista of hobart from 200ft up. what brochures don't tell you is that hobart is VERY hilly. so to stay at the villa, be best advised to have your own mode of transport to get around. the villa did not have restaurant facilities but is a short drive to the centre of town where you will be spoilt for choice. there is also a park behind the villas that is worth a walk and a chance encounter with local wildlife.”

“Amidst good reviews and having had good previous experiences we hit a bad day. Our room was great and overall the hotel remains in the top end of Hobart accomodation. Our experience was spoilt due to management not putting enough staff on in the breakfast room. Double time obviously an issue. This is the result of being MEAN. It was mothers Day !!

So disappointing.”

“MONA Pavilions was exceptional. The best hotel experience I've had around the world. Fantastic accommodation, service and experience. Highly recommended!”

“The room is clean and comfortable. There is a café right besides the hotel and it is pretty convenient for breakfast and coffee daily. Walking distance about 15 minutes to more eateries and shopping but still a very good deal with this hotel. Staff are very helpful and friendly.”

“Lovely hotel in Hobart. Some reviews have really knocked the Rydges but I found it be comfortable, quiet and good value. I do agree that a renovation is due and the room staff were not exactly attentive to details (bed not made after first night) but all in all a nice place to stay. Only real downside for me was the lack of reasonable dining and a supermarket within walking distance.”

“stayed in a 2 bedroom for 1 night. one room was like a palace, the other one was bearable. the bigger room has a jacuzzi bathtub and that toilet was huge. nice couch area for watching tv and chilling out together. and also a dining area where we could have our meals together. kitchenette only has a microwave and sink, with cultery and utensils. however, there was no stove which was fine with us. they even have plates, bowls n salad mixing bowl. the bedroom has a door for privacy. the other room was pretty small but facilities was sufficient. shower. one factor why we decided to stay at this hotel is the complimentary shuttle services between the airport and the hotel. we stayed in the hotel on the last day of our trip. we returned our car the night before we flew off and they sent the minibus over to pick us, just needed to wait a couple of minutes. we had a 8am flight the next day and they drove us over at 0705. great service. saves us the hussle of arranging for a taxi and the cost saved as well. although it is slightly pricier than hotels in hobart city, we loved the experience there.”

“Excellent location for visiting Salamanca Market (opens Saturdays only), and the waterfront where there are lots of restaurants. Hobart CBD isn't very large, so Elizabeth Street Mall is just 10 minutes walk away. There is also a "Farmgate" market on Sunday, but Salamanca was enough for us. Room was spacious. Kitchen was well equipped. Wish I had more opportunity to use the kitchen. room rate was a little pricey, but still pretty good value for the location. The other *possible* issue was the late night party noise coming from a neighbouring block. This is not within the control of the Hotel, but rather is a zoning issue. Why the authorities allow such noisy activities until after 3 am is beyond me. But we are not light sleepers, so while the noise was audible, it was not intrusive for the 4th foor where we were. I cannot say if it was more intrusive for other rooms. Wifi was spotty, but if you really need the internet, get a data plan. Free wifi is for unimportant things.”

“Great place to stay in Hobart. Near everything! From shops, groceries and even the Harbour and Salamanca market. I would stay here again if I am in Hobart.”

“Family owned this place sits just at the edge of the CBD overlooking Hobart. The decor is retro but facilities are excellent - comfortable bed, spacious rooms and bathroom.

“We stayed for 12 nights at the Pinot Cottage. The hosts were helpful, polite, and went beyond the required to ensure our stay was as perfect as possible. The large spa tub, generous living space, fully equipped kitchen, master bed with a stunning view, and great location in the Coal Valley wine region make this a great get away. With a bunk in the spare room, you could comfortably bring a family of 5.”

“The lodge is a really nice place with an England feel! The garden and lounge area are cozy and inviting. Jeff has also been really kind and lovely throughout our stay! Wished we had more days to chat with him.. Breakfast was good and sufficient to start our day of exploration around Hobart! I hope to come back again!”

“This apartment is well appointed with a full kitchen and two great bathrooms. It is in a great location, within a short walking distance to a number of attractions, great restaurants and the markets. However it does suffer from traffic noises in the early morning. We struggled to get the apartment to maintain a consistent warm temperature (as we were approaching winter). Staff were very helpful when approached.”

“A nice place just 15 mins from the Hobart International Airport. The cottage is well decorated and we gazed in awe when we check-in the cottage. Every details is so fine and Maureen, the owner touch up these details herself. Nice! The cottage is comfortable and warm during the winter days. Each room has a heater (including the bathroom) so this save us a lot during the cold nights. The cottage is self-contained and you can enjoy and relax in the couch provided in the living room. Maureen also left us good amenities and selection of cocoa, tea and coffee and some biscuits in case we are hungry at night as the shops in Richmond closes at 6pm. Maureen's banana pancakes for the breakfast was also very good and her service was very good. We enjoyed chatting with her. The place is close-by to winery and cheese cottage for your discovery. The hotel restaurant in the center of the Richmond town also serves good bar meals and good steak.This is an ideal place if you want to stay near airport.”

“We enjoyed our stay with our parents. The cottage was beautiful. The location was a little far for our parents to walk to Salamanca market, they walked downhill but caught a taxi return and cost about $12. The walk did not bother me, it is a pretty walk. If we travelled with a group of people to Hobart again I would definitely consider this property. The kitchen was stocked with delicious coffee.”

“Highly appreciate how hospitable the 2 hosts - Tony & Martin were in ensuring our stay was a comfortable and pleasant one. The attentiveness to detail and how nicely furnished the apartment was made our stay really pleasant. We were there for 3 nights and having the accessibility to nearby amenities and good food was great. We were also in a pretty good location of Sandy Bay - made it easy to get around to the Waterfront and Salamanca Markets which were the better spots to visit in my opinion. It wasn't also too far from getting to Kettering for us to get to Bruny Island - which was the highlight of our trip. Kudos Martin & Tony! We'll definitely come back and stay the next time we are in Hobart.”

“Don greeted us will a friendly call before we checked in and also once we arrived. He was extremely pleasant to talk to and provided great service where required. The apartment is very modern with a great view over Hobart City. The location was very convenient as it was close to the supermarket and tourist attractions. I would happily stay here again in future return visits to Hobart city.”

“My hosts were so welcoming and my room so very comfortable. The home and property is magnificent... many photos to show. Breakfast was simply tasty and presented in a magnificent dining room. Loved the art. Absolutely recommend your stay in Hobart.”

“accommodation in hobart can be difficult to book at times. brighton is a small town outside hobart (25 klm)on the midlands highway. we stayed two nights and were able to see most cbd and suburban attractions including mt wellington. the hotel/ motel is very new and is of an excellent design. rooms catered for all needs and were warm and spacious yet extremely quiet. the location gave us ease of entry to hobart and surrounds which suited our travel plans.”

“We loved the location; being on a farm and encouraged to explore and enjoy the animals was wonderful. Our hosts were exceptionally courteous and hospitable; supplying fresh eggs etc., for our breakfast; and extended themselves in telling us some history about the property and how they run the farm. A bonus! Overall, having stayed in two other properties, one in the north and in Hobart, we enjoyed Daisy Cottage the most; only sorry we didn't have more time there. We would highly recommend the whole experience. Thanks so much to our hosts!!”

“One thing that stood out was the fact that Jason (the host) had an immediate response to all my questions. He also helped to extend extra night immediately after knowing that i booked a night short for my group. Also, we found he had prepared bread, milk and coffee capsules for us when we checked in (sweet little touches). We went into Hobart with minimal planning, but Jason's accomodation had brochures of many attraction sites and tours; hence, no worries on the lack of ideas on how to roam Hobart.”
