We LOVED our stay at Mark's. Both the house and the host are so warm and interesting, we felt like we were staying with an old friend. The bedroom is extremely comfortable, and the shared spaces are really gorgeous - with several spots to curl up with a book in the sun or in front of the fire or heater. Mark's place is full of art and books and interesting bits and pieces, and he himself is a great conversationalist but at the same time completely unobtrusive. His place really lives up to 'home away from home' - welcoming, snug and lovely to be in. We wholeheartedly recommend Mark's place as the perfect base to stay in Hobart.
