Pros:

We had a wonderful stay. The room was spotlessly clean, the bathroom was very spacious, and the entire house was beautiful and full of character. The location was also very convenient for exploring Hobart.

What impressed us the most was the outstanding service from the staff. Everyone was warm and welcoming. The breakfast was an unexpected highlight of our stay. Although the menu wasn’t extensive, every dish was freshly prepared, delicious, and beautifully presented. It felt very homely, and we thoroughly enjoyed every breakfast.

We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Hobart.

Cons:

The only issue we experienced was with the hot water. We booked both the upstairs and downstairs accommodation, and unfortunately neither had enough hot water for showers in the evening. We had to wait nearly 40 minutes before the water became hot again. Hopefully this can be improved, as it would make an otherwise excellent stay even better.

Beautiful getaway spot close to the city
Pros:

The old school feeling of the building with the modern touches, it’s beautiful inside and out. Staff are friendly and inviting, the ease of late check in and the included breakfast was delicious every morning.

Cons:

Only dislike would be the bed after the first night, just became uncomfortable for my personal standard as it was dented in from use over time

If I could give it MORE than 5 Stars I would!!!
Pros:

There was nothing at all I could fault about this property, our stay at Maylands Lodge was the best accommodation of our entire trip to Tassie, the room was immaculate and had everything you could possibly ask for and more, from a fireplace to a bathtub they truly thought of everything and their breakfast was amazing each day, we will absolutely be returning without a doubt!

Cons:

Nothing!!!

10/10 heritage accomodation
Pros:

The heritage building is absolutely stunning! The room is very comfortable and the massive bathtub was a major plus. The staff we meet at breakfast were very accomodating and friendly, with the tasty breakfast options included as well.

Cons:

Literally the only thing I can think of is that the cups in the room are tiny and it would have been nice to have a mug. But we would 10/10 stay again !
