We spent 5 highly-enjoyable days at Louise's amazing barn. The 'barn' (though it's certainly the most gorgeous barn I've ever set eyes on) is perched upon the sloped terrain which forms Glebe. You're rewarded with a special view from every corner of the property - the kitchen window frames Mount Wellington (kunanyi) like a renaissance masterpiece.

The barn is warm and welcoming, even in the dead of winter. It is perfectly furnished, tastefully decorated, and the details of the original barn are fascinating and well-preserved.

The kitchen is well-stocked with a great stove, pots and pans and utensils. It's the type of kitchen you enjoy sharing a meal in (perhaps as you peer out that window towards the towering mountain). The bedroom upstairs is massive - much, much larger than the pictures can convey. It's comfortable, bright (multiple windows and a skylight) and it's a lovely place to wake up each morning.

The Glebe area is very close to all the major attractions in Hobart, and you can walk everywhere. It's roughly equidistant to the cafe strip in North Hobart, and the cafes dotting Salamanca. There is a large supermarket nearby, and an even larger bottle-shop.

Louise was a wonderfully accommodating host and I'd highly recommend the barn to others looking for an awesome experience of Hobart (and the view!)
