Freya wasn't in town but made us welcome by providing her daughter's contact details and inviting us to use the well stocked larder. Sophie dropped in personally to welcome us and make offer her assistance should we need it during our stay.

The accommodation is spacious with fabulous views of the town centre and comfortable bed and couches.

Everything we needed for breakfasts was provided and plenty of ingredients available if we wanted to cook (oysters Kilpatrick from Bruny Island's Get Shucked).

There was a wealth of information available on activities and suggestions for dinner in brochures. We tried Freya's suggestions and enjoyed Malaysian (for lunch) and Pub (Ocean Child for dinner).

I was pleased that we hired a car as I was going to get Freya to pick us up / drop us at the airport originally - however with the fabulous views - comes some steep walks to and from town. Hiring a vehicle was a good move as we were able to explore Bruny Island on a day trip ( I recommended the boat tour - we had a very calm day and saw some dolphins as a bonus). The vehicle also enabled us to get up to MONA which was an enthralling 1/2 day tour. Parking was available at Woolworths in town (first 90 minutes free) and we used this when we went to the Salamanca market and Flower Show at the Town Hall (short walk ~ 10 mins to the market).

Dining highlight for us was the Rockwall Restaurant that offered great value for money - coffee rubbed Steak was spectacular!

The accommodation with its comfortable layout and fabulous views was always a pleasure to come back to after time out and about Hobart and surrounds. I can highly recommend this accommodation for a great stay in Hobart.
