A beautifully renovated spot with luxurious beds and lovely rooms. Very attentive breakfast staff and excellent breakfast, easy parking and checking in and out. Enjoyed chatting to other guests at the breakfast table too. The road is very busy but sound wasn’t such an issue and once you master the in and out driveways it was very easy.
I would ask not be in room one as it is right at the front door and I was woken up with comings and goings and breakfast staff arriving. Earplugs tho helped there and they weren’t inconsiderate, the bed is just up against the wall. If you wanted to sleep in and a noisy breakfast party was directly opposite that would be annoying. Luckily no one was an early riser when I was there.

The period furniture and small touches eg silver ice bucket, chocs, biscuits. Loved the two wrap-around balconies attached to our room, giving extra space to sit and enjoy the views of the marina, beach and playing fields. The generous breakfast in the dining room was fantastic, great selection. Pretty street with hedges, and more beautifully restored manor houses. Nearby bus, 15 min out of town. Sandy Bay pubs, supermarket, shops.
As we stayed for a week, the bathroom is huge but needed a bench or shelves to spread out toiletries, makeup and other personal items; not just the tiny octagonal stool/table.

We stayed in the Flynn 1909 Suite. A lovely room with a very comfortable bed, great bath and shower, kettle, cups, and even glasses. The buffet breakfast is exceptional with great breads, cheese, cold meat, salmon and lots of fruit to choose from. Both the verandah and garden give plenty of space for sitting outdoors in good weather. Great to have parking and the location is also good for walking in to the centre of Hobart or catching a bus. Everything was excellent but the very best was Denise who looked after us throughout our stay - friendly, helpful and welcoming.
Nothing - everything was great.

A luxurious ambience was felt from the moment you entered your room with a UBL setting the mood, streamed also to the bathroom, which was a lovely touch. Decor was superb with choice furnishings in-line with the period of this Victorian building (circa 1891); bed linen was beautiful, as was the comfort level of the bed. A sumptuous breakfast was on offer and dining with the other guests was not only a pleasant way to start your day, but also was beneficial due to the sharing of experiences.
The hotel scullery on the ground floor is where provisions and kitchen equipment are kept. There is no fridge within your room so milk needs to be sought from the scullery, unless of course you are fine with the common small, long life carton variety (one supplied in your room).

Gorgeous home. Super comfy bed and feathered pillows. Continental breakfast was 5 star. Great location opposite casino and nestled close to many great restaurants. We hired e-scooters and were in the midst of Battery Point within 5-10 minutes. Loved gas fireplace in lounge area and ability to shop at nearby Coles and/ or Woolies and eat dinner at dining table. Cathy and Robert are very friendly and helpful. It's a superb place to stay on your next trip to Hobart.
Loved everything. Located on major road, but hubbie and I had NO trouble sleeping. Maybe if you are sensitive to traffic noise, one of the rear cottages or rooms would be ideal.

We did not realise breakfast was included! Though a light spread, it was much appreciated and delicious. Our housekeeper, Kathy, was so lovely, chatty and accommodating. She also made up our room which was so inviting, comfortable and serene. The rooms are decorated so beautifully. The parking was right on site, at the back or front of the house with options to choose from.
A little noise from the sporting field next door but nothing could be done. It was minor honestly but if we had to pick something.

For a six-night stay in the Garden Bungalow amongst manicured hedges and roses, we were greeted with a complimentary bottle of wine, chocolates, cookies and port in an immaculate room with soft music playing! The bathroom was huge, boasting a walk-in shower, bath, two sinks and a thoughtful design to accommodate the elderly or disabled. Breakfast was ample in the beautiful dining room of the heritage manor, where we enjoyed chats with other guests at a long antique dining table. Kathy attended to our every need, including a load of clothes washing and drying while we were out enjoying Hobart. Robert, the property manager, was available instantly online for any queries.

Beautiful room and bathroom, enjoyed being separate from the main house. Heated tiles in the bathroom were a plus. Main house is a lovely old building. All very well renovated. A nice illustrated map of the area and biscuits are in the room.
There was nothing that special or luxurious about it for the cost. We told them we were staying for our wedding night, you think they could have left a little note for a personal touch. We woke up at 9:20am the morning after and didn't make it to breakfast in time because it ends at 9:30. Since it's very basic continental they could keep it going till 10 or later. But they finish early due to early checkout at 10... Should be made later. Nothing made the stay welcoming or inviting. Tea and coffee facilities hidden behind the door so we missed it the first night as came in so late, had to ask a member of staff where it was. Fridge was quite loud of a night.

The accommodation was lovely, good size room, luxurious bathtub, amazingly comfortable bed. The breakfast was packed with fresh produce and was delicious! I walked into the city each day and it took about 25mins. Go via Battery Point for coffee at Kombi and the worlds best Italian at Da Angelo. There is also a bus right outside the front door that will get you to the city for $3.50. Easy check in and friendly staff.
The blinds let in a lot of light and despite others saying otherwise in the reviews, I personally could hear the road noise from my room. Don't let it put you off though, it is a lovely place to stay. Even being a highly sensitive sleeper I would recommend!

Beautiful historic property with lovely gardens. Fantastic breakfast with some really nice unexpected options. Great water pressure in the shower and a big room with high ceilings.
The blinds in the room let in a lot of light so we woke up prior to 6am most mornings. We think these should be replaced by some proper black out curtains. The soap and shampoo in the bathroom was quite thin and watery so you had to use a lot of it as it didn’t go very far.
