We spent 3 nights at Alison's place called Dorothy's house and what a gem this place is!!We were so thrilled with it! The check in process was seamless and very easy despite the fact that we arrived at about 10:30 pm. The location is perfect. It is about 5 minutes drive to Salamanca and the centre of Hobart, yet in a quiet, beautiful suburban street.
The house itself is beautiful. The moment you walk through the door there is a beautiful warm cosy feeling about the place. It is spacious and filled with natural light. There are beautiful wooden floors and high ceilings, a dining/sun room with stunning views of Mount Wellington, great variety of books throughout, a beautiful garden etc. It is very clean and extremely well furnished with everything you could possibly need. All we needed was our personal items. We ate out all the time but there are supermarkets within a couple of minutes drive so you could easily shop and cook if required as the kitchen has all the necessary utensils/appliances. There is a also a great cafe (ginger brown) 5 minutes walk down the road. The little additional touches made the place even more special, including some basic food/drink provisions that were left for us for our arrival, a Nespresso coffee machine and pods etc. All the beds were very comfortable. We travelled with my in laws who are in their mid-70s and they found the house to be of great comfort with easy access to everything .
Ally was very accomodating and provided us with great information and suggestions. She was always approachable and welcomed any questions we had. We also had the opportunity to meet her which was fantastic and she is as lovely as she had come across during our communications. We could not be happier that we found this place and could not recommend it enough. We had such a lovely stay! Thanks Ally for everything and see you soon again!
