Treat yourself!
What a stunning property. My room was comfortable and quiet, and had that luxe feeling. I didn’t have the included breakfast, but it looked great!

Sadly Disappointed
Easy check-in. Seems to have changed staff or owner, as standards have slipped. After a full day and evening out, we returned to find lights and heater off (as we left it in the morning to conserve energy). Bedding unchanged, cups unwashed, everything much as we left it. This is the first time this has happened during our previous stays. We were not aware room service was not available after first night. Breakfast cloth placemats and serviettes on both mornings were placed neatly in cabinet drawers after people had used them, leading me to question whether they were being washed between use. Breakfast staff efficient at cleaning up to the point you are made to feel hurried while dining, the small plates removed when you intend to get something else (bare minimum plates are put out). Such a shame as this is a beautiful accommodation, in a convenient location and we have always enjoyed our stays in the past.

Super comfortable hotel
Location is convenient, the room is very clean. The bed is king size and super comfortable. All the staffs are very polite and provide excellent service, I don’t have any complaints on it, we will stay here again when we visit Hobart.

8/10 Very good

Nicely converted old home, ALMOST excellent.
It was a good stay, in a converted fine old Sandy Bay homestead. Despite being right on the very busy Sandy Bay Road right opposite the Casino, it was very quiet — the windows must have been double-glazed. The mattress on the bed was comfortable but it was too short for two tall people. Though mention was made to the balcony, the room/front door key would not open the balcony door so it was impossible to access. The whole property had been very tastefully converted as a b&b, and fittings were all modern and in good condition. A criticism was the lack of milk in the room, having to negotiate steep stairs from the Guest Scullery with a jug of milk was fraught.Even though the property is remotely managed, breakfast was very good. It was that rarity in Australia, not just cereal and toast but a "proper" Continental breakfast with fruit etc and cold meats/smoked salmon as well as toast and croissants. To be fully authentic it lacked only boiled eggs. The young woman in charge of it was quietly attentive and everything was very well presented. A good start to the day.

Excellent accommodation.
Very comfortable, pretty quiet, excellent breakfast included with very amenable service. An evening glass of port put the icing on the cake. Little to fault it except on the expensive side.

The Garden Room at the back of the property is so quiet. Without any adjoining walls to other rooms there isn't any risk of over hearing your fellow occupants.
