Outstanding location
Staying in the Old Collingwood Post Office is both a ‘convenience’ stay (situated in the same building as Hotel Jesus, it is a short walk through a foyer to step out into the middle of Smith St and all that has to offer) and an ‘experience’ stay (trying to work out aspects of the architecture and how they may have featured in the original post office filled us with fascination!) Absolutely loved it!

Lovely apartment with character in excellent location. Well presented with open plan kitchen with all amenities. Spacious lounge area with plenty or room for four of us. Front door opened onto Smith Street with all its shops and cafes. Parking very convenient at the rear. Fantastic communication with the host, who was very helpful and easy to contact. We loved it. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.
