Came to Hobart for a weekend with the girls and our four year old- Evie's place was in the best location, a twenty minute piggyback to the city centre, but far enough into South Hobart to give us the best of both worlds, the city attractions as well as the charm of all the beautiful houses under the backdrop of misty Mt Wellington.
And boy was Evie's place pretty! Styling and decor were top notch and thoughtful, filled with everything you can imagine, from cooking utensils to Aesop shampoo and conditioner (yes!) in the shower and extra bedding and pillows for the really comfy and easy sofa bed in the lounge. Not that we needed the sofa bed, because you could have fit four people in the bed upstairs it was that big. The heater was also a welcome addition as it was so unexpectedly freezing outside during our stay- in February lol!
Both the Cascades brewery and the world heritage site Cascades Female Factory were within walking distance of Evie's place- would definitely recommend visiting, we were stunned at the natural beauty of the surroundings as well as intrigued by the history lesson- not to mention the proximity to Mt Wellington, which was awesome and very, very cold. We didn't get a view that day but none of us really cared, there was something so spooky about being on top of a mountain surrounded by swirling mist, just remember to pack some gloves.
Buses from the city back to Evie's left something to be desired- so few and far between, we ended up catching taxis the whole time with our little one, which came to approx $8.50 from the city back to Evie's yellow little front gate. Split three ways it was cheaper than the bus anyway.
Evie thoughtfully left us some coffee vouchers for a really nice cafe up the road, they forgot to honour them but fixed the mistake when we asked so was all good in the end.
Great place, great host, would stay again. Thankyou Evie!
