The property is located on a main road but noise was not an issue. Plenty of free on site parking and there is a supermarket, bottleshop and great butcher and baker near by. Good family restaurants near by too in Sandy Bay village. Busses right out side your door. A cab to the airport is about $50 in light traffic.
There is a spacious and cozy sitting room with games and complementary port (or possibly sherry). Breakfast is make your own from a fridge generously stocked with fresh fruit salads, bread (various), yoghurt, butter, preserves and milk and even home made cookies. Ground coffee and a selection of good teas. These can be accessed any time so of you needed a snack or were a later arrival who have not eaten, that is a huge bonus.
We booked the 2 bedroom apartment and each bedroom was ENORMOUS (as befits a Georgian mansion. One space (Main space) consists of the living and kitchen space and the ONLY bathroom which is a deep enclosed verandah, with a newer verandah off it. The bedroom in this space thus opens on to the living space and has no directly light, but we did not that was a problem. The other bedroom (Second Bedroom) is located off a semi public vestibule through which you enter both it and the Main Space. There is a non lockable door that closes off the vestibule from the rest of the hall but it cannot be locked as the fire escape runs off vestibule.
As a result one of our guests found herself locked of the Main Space. We resolved it by that guest being in charge of the key for the Main Space. The issue might be if you had children or others who may need to use that bathroom in the Main Space and cannot access the key.
An additional key or even better a keypad lock for the Main Space would be an improvement.
We looked into other rooms as we passed by and they all looked very good.
It is bit out of the central business district and there are some gentle hills but all very walkable in about 20 minutes.
