Our stay at Nina's quaint and very cosy Crash pad in South Hobart was our first experience of Air BandB hospitality. Located an easy 15 -20 minute stroll along the burbling Hobart Rivulet track into the centre of Hobart one way and the same the other way to the base and walking tracks of Nocklofty and Mt Wellington,Crash pad is a wonderful place to base yourself to explore all that the magnificent city of Hobart has to offer.
We arrived from the Sunshine Coast to the chill of the Winter Solstice , to be welcomed by the comforting aroma of freshly baked bread and home made jam, fresh ground coffee and a toasty warm little pad. It was these little touches of homeliness and hospitality that epitomised our stay at Nina's pad and helped us to feel at home from the first moment .
Nina was there and available if needed for advise , but at the same time allowed us our space to unwind, relax and explore on our own. Her knowlege of and love and passion for Hobart and Tasmania is evident and if you are wanting to learn about this amazing place and it's eclectic make up of people Nina is a wonderful guide .
The Crash Pad itself is neatly presented, cosy ,charming and quirky with views out to the grassed gardens of the back yard and onto the Rivulet which burbles away .The gardens will be a treat when the trees are in leaf in the warmer months.
The Pad has a a charm and character of its own , neat, tidy , warm and above all welcoming at the end of a day of discovering the sights , sounds and senses of the City and surrounds.
