With Mount Wellington as a backdrop, Battery Point is an incredibly picturesque suburb. The streets are lined with antique cottage-style homes with beautiful flowering front gardens. Bénédicte’s home is no exception to this. It is within walking distance to parks, cafes, boutique stores, and Salamanca Place. Our arrival process was very smooth and Bénédicte explained everything we needed to know about the home and staying with her. Each day I was greeted with a cheerful “good morning”, and the other house residents were equally as friendly, welcoming, and helpful. We enjoyed listening to their stories and we appreciated their suggestions regarding things to see and do in Tasmania. We were also particularly enamoured with their loving little dog, Leo.

The house interior is furnished in a homely style. The bedroom is clean, comfortable, and warm, and both the bathrooms and the balcony have a wonderful view of the Derwent River (which is quite glorious in the morning as the sun rises over it). We felt at home during our stay and would consider returning there for future Hobart holidays. Thank you Bénédicte & co!
