Nice cottage in a quiet area of Hobart. Carport is for a small car only, otherwise limited street parking. Great walking tracks nearby that are dog friendly. Fully enclosed courtyard for dogs with some under cover area.

Great place in a fantastic location
We really enjoyed our stay in this comfortable little cottage. The location was excellent and we were able to walk the dog in the rivulet park each day and easily walk into town. Nice quiet street with adequate parking. Internet was also great.
