Mather Cottage is a fantastic place to stay when in Hobart. It is possibly one of the best, if not the best, AirBnb we have stayed in. It is very well equipped and comes with virtually everything the traveller requires. It is very comfortable and well appointed. While it doesn't have a dishwasher nor a clothes drier, it does have a clothes line and a laundry is located nearby on Elizabeth Street if required. While on the subject of Elizabeth Street, a multitude of restaurants are literally at your doorstep together with banks, newsagent, hotel, craft brewers, wine/alcohol shop, post office, [state] theatre. As Lindsay noted the area could do with a small supermarket nearby for those seeking to eat in and prepare there own food. The vibe of this area is fantastic. Our stay was Friday and Saturday nights and we found the location to be quiet, not withstanding all the venues on your doorstep. We have stayed centrally in Battery Point Hobart before and would rate Mather Cottage /North Hobart as having a 'feel' better than that of the former.
