Carl's place is beautiful and cosy. The tranquility and views are wonderful. Walking (or jogging if you're fit enough for steep hills) to the top of Poimena Reserve, which starts just a couple of blocks behind the house, is beautiful to catch sunrise or sunset. The back yard is lovely, although when I visited it was a bit too cold to spend as much time as I would have liked there playing with the cute dog and watching the hens.
At first I thought it was perhaps a little too far from MONA and honestly I was close to cancel as I didn't have a car, but I'm so happy I didn't! The distance was ok to cycle from/to Hobart and to/from MONA. I really recommend traveling there with a bike as the cycleway goes very close and the last km you share with cars still has cycle lane.
Everything was perfect and I couldn't recommend Carl's place enough. I hope I can come back and stay for a little longer. Thanks Carl!
