Alan is a wonderful host and a good person who believes in healthy eating and living. He provides useful information about places to visit in Hobart and elsewhere in Tasmania, including the lesser known attractions as well as nature trails such as those at Mount Wellington and Myrtle Forest. If you like to discuss views on nature and the environment, which I do, Alan's the right person for that. Tasmanian Tigers are one of his passions (hence Tiger Den)!

The location of the house is convenient, being situated just outside of Hobart town, and is easily accessible by public bus. A day rider ticket at $3.20 takes you anywhere with unlimited rides a day - so forget the car! Just have to watch the bus timetables though! The brochures at home are handy if you wish to know where else to visit and how to get there.

The single bed is comfy though a tad narrow but there are lots of warm sheets plus room and cupboard spaces are adequate. Winter chill isn't a problem in the house as there is adequate heating with a fireplace and electric heater too, topped up by an electric blanket.

The room has beautiful paintings to look at as well, including a hand-painted picture of Tasmanian Tigers!

There are cafes, bottle shop and gas station nearby in Moonah, so it is a sensible place to stay to enjoy Hobart inner city and beyond. And the mountain view is stunning from Creek Road.

It is a homely place, and Alan is an inspiring vegan chef who likes sharing his knowledge about food preparation, hence I recommend Tiger Den for your stay.
