Petrie Cottage proved to be the perfect fit for the 3 of us over Christmas and the New Year. Thought went into furnishing the Cottage with a view to it being a home away from home. There was a little Christmas tree in the living room and a vase for flowers if that is your inclination, which it was for us. The kitchen was well equipped with little touches like measuring cups and spoons, baking/roasting trays and even a wok. The hosts were also thoughtful and clearly kept us in mind. Fans were offered when we had one of the hottest days in history as was a change of linen because of the length of our stay. The house was breezy and circulation was good, especially with both front and back doors open. Overall, Petrie Cottage contributed greatly to a wonderful holiday, giving a little taste of what living in North Hobart is like.
