What can I say about Tom & Pam, and their fabulous apartment that hasn't already been said? Staying in The Gardens Apartment was all of what others have said and then some! It was a real treat with lovely little extras at every turn. Spotlessly clean throughout and very quiet, the apartment is also kitted out with some fascinating books and classic DVDs incase you are short of things to do in delightful Hobart. Thoughtfully, the hosts have compiled a folder with the appliance instructions which was particularly useful when operating the combination microwave/grill/convection oven. Although we were there in mid-winter the gardens were still gorgeous and the wonderful gas flued heater did a stirling job of keeping us toasty. Tom and Pam were the consummate hosts and I had several interesting conversations with Tom while we were there. Nothing was too much trouble and the little suggestions Tom gave regarding local markets and stores proved invaluable. I can thoroughly recommend a stay at The Gardens Apartment. I only wish all accommodation was this good!
