The location couldn’t have been better. We were four minutes drive to family in one direction and our favourite cafe in the other direction. Ubers were quick and cheap. And we felt safe.We loved the courtyard for our furry family member.Parking on the property was a godsend. It was, however challenging to get in and out of thanks to how cars parked out the front.We washed the crockery, cutlery and glassware before we used it as we found dirty items and dusty shelves.We came in late in the afternoon and were very cold in the property. We had been spoiled at other properties in our trip as they had the properties warm when we arrived.Lois was so gorgeous - communicative, responsive and accommodating.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
I usually dont comment on bad holiday rentals but this time it was needed. When we arrived the house smelt musty and old. The house was freezing cold. We ran the very old heat pump for 3 days the house still didn't get above 18 degrees. Even the bed linen didn't smell fresh. Nothing smelt clean and fresh. The kitchen and bathroom was held together with bits of board here and there and grotty badly used silicone in joints and every other gap. If we didn't have our dog with us we would have gone to a hotel. We have stayed in many holiday rentals as well as owned them and I can say this was the most uncomfortable, old and smelly home we have stayed in.

Perfect cottage in Hobart with a lovely homely feel. Equipped with all you need to have a home away from home holiday. Great location in Sandy Bay with just a short stroll to main street, shops, cafe's and restaurants.The kind of place you feel sad to leave.

Hostess with the Mostest

This is only the second time I have stayed in this type of accomodation so not sure what to expect. We talked about the facilities and decided that it was very clean and homey - comfortable. The bedding was really nice and so were the bathrooms. Lois our host was very informative and helpful as was her hubby who helped us get out of the driveway after becoming wedged. Thank you.
