A lovely little stay within walking distance of Hobart centre
Pros:

A lovely little place out of the main city but within walking distance. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They kept the kitchen open for us so that we could eat when we arrived. Bed was comfy and the kitchen facilities were good with cereal, bread coffee and tea available 24/7.
