Beautiful house in a great location for visiting the city and Bruny Island. Plenty of room and views of the water. Host replied quickly when we had a glitch receiving the check in instructions.
House was beautiful & incredibly spacious! Close to the beach & some beautiful cafes and restaurants. Host was easy to talk to and very responsive. Highly recommend!
We had a lovely restful stay. Good location, close to Hobart but still a sense of being in a little seaside town. Lovely home made for a very comfortable time away. Excellent communication from hosts.
We stayed at this property for 5 nights in Jan 2026. Excellent property with good amenities and good views. Very good host, smooth check-in.Very close to Kingston and Blackman bay beaches. Coles and other grocery stores are close by. There are some very good restaurants close by as well.Good location for accessing key spots like Bruny Island (via Kettering)...... Hobart CBD, Mount Wellington, etcWill be back again.
beautiful property, extremely clean, abundance of pantry items, televisions in most bedrooms, excellent bathrooms although could have been more shelves for essentials, would highly recommend
The townhouse was an excellent option for our family of 3 adults. The upstairs living / dining area was extremely spacious, and provided plenty of room to spread out. The 3 bedrooms / bathrooms was a bonus. Excellent views from the top floor. The property was very clean and uncluttered. Great location close to many attractions. A great option outside of the city.
This was our 1st Stay for our tour around Tasmania. It was presented at an excellent standard, spacious, very comfortable, peaceful, great location and everything you could need. The view from upstairs with big windows was beautiful. Would highly recommend to everyone! Thanks so much to Andrew & Lisa.
Well appointed, comfortable but missing a clothes dryer. TV sound in main living area atrocious, needs a sound bar. Otherwise would recommend for a stay near Hobart.
It was one of the best stays we ever experienced. Everything was perfect. Very very clean, very modern and spacious, fully equipped. On top of that it was very lovely to deal with the hosts. They were very responsive and informative. Highly recommended. If we are to kindly suggest something to the host to make the stay even better, probably reach out to the neighbour at the back of the property to see if their hedge along their back fence can be trimmed a bit so that the wonderful view of the water from the kitchen/ living area would be uninterrupted.
We had a lovely stay at this townhouse, it was a good size with 3 big rooms. The kitchen was a good size and very clean. Its not far from the beach for a evening walk. Shops are about a 5mins drive and about 20 mins to Hobart city centre. You do need a car to stay at this place. The owners use a apps called superhog it was confusing as it takes out the payment automatically with no follow up email stating it has done so. Also the owners didnt explain this process so we thought we hadnt pay. Other than this we had a great stay and would recommend this place for a holiday.
