Lovely apartment confusing entry
The property is lovely however it is not easy to find as there is no signage and Google maps keeps changing the location
The entrance is actually a side hall off the entrance to a Chinese restaurant. Just needs to Be clearer. The apartment is very nice and a good location in Hobart.

Thanks for your review Annette, we're pleased you enjoyed your stay. I'm not sure why you had an issue finding the apartment entrance, our access instructions are very clear. There is a shared a common lobby space that provides access to the hallway to the lift for the apartments and there's also a restaurant on the ground floor. All very separate and use of access card to enter the hallway to the lift.
Great place to stay! High quality apartment within walking distance to everything!
From the moment we arrived, we knew it was going to be a great holiday.! The apartment was well laid out with all the features and amenities you could ever need!
Location is great too, within walking distance to Salamanca square & all the great restaurants! Will be back in the near future! Thanks Jo & Matt for providing such a smooth process!
My friend and I stayed for four nights ... we had an amazing time! The apartment was extremely clean and tidy. The shower was beautiful as was the freestanding bath. There was great communication from the owners and the check in process was very easy with such great explicit instructions!
An excellent stay here and definitely will consider staying again next time I’m in Hobart!
