We enjoyed this home very much. It is about a 20 minute walk from the piers which we found invigorating! We really didn't need a car while there as we could have taken public transportation pretty much everywhere. The home interior is stylish, inviting and situated behind another property which gives it a great deal of privacy. The owner is a serious music buff and, given that half of our group was equally musically inclined, this environment provided some wonderful entertainment for us as we prepared meals.
The property includes what could be a beautiful outside entertainment area but it appears that some renovations are in the permitting stage so future developments are probably forthcoming.
Salamanca Market (held each Saturday) was a must for us as was the MONA exhibits (that was the most diverse museum I have ever visited). We also enjoyed the catamaran ride to the prison. Six days was not enough to experience all of Tasmania but we enjoyed every second we were there and we thank Alistair for sharing his home with us!
