I am here for a month... Lovely location, friendly & helpful hosts ... great apartment with furnishings and other provisions of good quality. Kingston is about 15-20mins from Hobart - a nice distance from the city hustle but not too far. Nearer to Bruny and Huon valley for sightseeing.... Within 2-3km are Woolies (Channel Court) and Coles, and other amenities.
It's also nice to stay in and listen to the waves on the beach below . The Kingston shore has several interesting restaurants but we've not visited them so far.
The parking takes a bit of practice but you'll get used to it!
