The staff was very accommodating- helping us store our fresh food on our first day before check-in and helped us cook our eggs for the Three Capes hike. The location is fantastic and the room was clean and spacious. Highly recommend!

Great stay!

We spent several days there last week. The room was comfortable & clean. Our only comment was the hairdryer was out of another era. We needed some extra towels & the staff quickly got them. The staff were wonderful. Everyone was pleasant & accommodating. We arrived late due to a flight change & were able to arrange to pick up a key using technology. My daughter figured it out. I would have had a bit of a problem! Breakfasts were included & delicious. We needed to have them ready quickly a few times & we arranged this the night before & it was done without a problem. The restaurant is popular in Hobart too and we went for Happy Hour & for dinner one night. It was delicious. The location is great. Our room had a harbor view. Walked right over to the Salamanca Market on Saturday. We’d absolutely go there again.
