Great stay in a beautiful location
Fantastic new studio-type accommodation. Actually bigger than I thought from the pictures too. Lovely new bathroom and kitchen with all the necessities. The only thing I would mention is that there is a combined microwave/convection oven appliance (so no traditional oven) but it was absolutely fine for our purposes. Just across the road is the Cascade Walking Track/Hobart Rivulet Track that backs on to the mountain and gorgeous parkland ripe for reading or a picnic. We found it to be a quick drive to the city (which we could have walked). There’s also a car spot which was very handy for our day trips out of Hobart.
