Jacqui had us at "Hullo" with the beautiful red roses from her garden greeting us in our kitchen. Our 7 day "Home away from Home" charmed us with its personality and beautiful tranquility. We sat on the back deck and "felt the serenity": leafy fruit trees in the back garden, "riverlet" with ducklings through the back gate, and majestic rocks with the occasional rock-climber in the distance. We loved Jacqui's quirky touches with bromeliads in the garden, her pretty and comfortable decor throughout, her ability to anticipate our needs with comfy rugs and heating for the cool days, an delicious coffee maker, information on things to do, and plenty of free TV and movies to choose from at the end of the day. There were personal touches everywhere (rubber ducky in the bath) and a smiling rescue with an umbrella on a rainy day.
Jacqui's place is walking distance (35 mins) from town but also has bus stop for a very quick trip. Gorgeous cafes and pub only 5 mins walk from front gate with an outstanding number of yummy vegan choices for me (but plenty of choices for my carnivore husband too). Top notch Asian cuisine restaurant 10 mins walk. We ate very well when we ate out but we also had all the facilities we needed in the kitchen when we wanted to stay in. Everything was spotless and in good working order.
We didn't need a car when staying at Jacqui's because we found the local buses were good at getting us all over Hobart. Only time we used a taxi was to and from airport.
We had a great time Jacqui and we'll be back. Thank you!
