It’s taken me a while to write this review because I never wanted to be one of those people...
Unfortunately our stay at Milkmans was so hyped up with the beautiful photos, that when it let us down, it multiplied.
There is so much potential and maybe if it was your first stop on your trip it would be great but we had just come from a beautiful place in Oatlands where an older lady put pride into her stay, at a 1/4 of the price. So that could have played a part too.
The check in with code is great, but there was no extra lock once you’re inside to ensure no one who knew the code could walk straight in again.
The sensor lights are great, but not if you’re trying to sneak to the bathroom in the middle of the night with no blinds. Or even trying to see who’s car lights are shining through the back street into the big windows.
The stovetop wasn’t working, but they supplied a portable one which was left on when we got there and boiling hot when I went to put it away to create more bench space.
The 4 year old Kmart chairs paired with the cheap Bunnings outdoor ones aren’t very inviting nor relaxing.
And I’m not sure if the bed has changed since everyone else’s reviews but I felt springs and there was no luxury sheets and pillows. Nothing a thick mattress topper and fresh linen couldn’t fix.
If you have skincare, put makeup on or style your hair - pack your own vanity. But don’t do it in the bathroom because the high windows/sky lights haven’t been dusted in some time and the shower screen is covered in built up grime.
Basically, the little things.
We booked for 4 days (3 nights), considering there is a 2 night minimum if you’re looking for comfort, character and care in Hobart I suggest next door at Captains Cottage. And if you’re just looking for the perfect Insta shot, stand out the front.
I’m sorry Kat and Marianne, we just couldn’t see the value for money in our stay or cleaning service fee. Thank you for having us though.
