Very convenient for the sprit of Tasmania ferry, only a 10 minute taxi ride to the rerminal. Also only a 8 minute walk from North Gellong train station. CHECK THE PRICR OF THE TAXI FIRST. We paid 21.5 dollers and the gentleman who had the taxi 5 minute before us paid 33 dollars!! The accommodation was a little dated ,but was very clean and I slept very well, a comfortable bed. ( as far as I'm concerned that is the most important part of a stay.) The owner was a very pleasant and helpful man. I would stay again.
