Altamont House lived up to all expectations as recommended by friends. Very comfortable, tastefully decorated and friendly messages from host Nicky who we met briefly in the middle of a rain shower, wrangling cars on her steep hill - she help us avoid rolling on to one car! Hobart at Winter Solstice is cold and the warm greeting with heating on, wine and other goodies was very welcome. Great advice too from Nicky on local eateries of which Hobart has many of such high standard - we took full advantage of that. Location was very central, convenient to a drop-off and pick-up point for the airport shuttle bus. We were well exercised with lots of walking and all the hills. This was a very comfortable three night stay and we thank Nicky for making it so.
