Where to begin? From the moment my mother and I made the booking with Nina, she made us feel welcome! On our arrival, a loaf of fresh bread was baking and she'd sent us a message to see if we needed anything from the shops! There was not a thing we went without for the whole week - honestly; she even lent me a pair of her boots for a particularly rainy day!! It was like being old friends coming to stay.

The apartment itself was perfect. Views to Mount Wellington, trees out every window and every room had relaxing nook to read in. Plus, having our own kitchen was very useful.

The location is perfect; very easy to get to and from the airport and an easy stroll to the city as well. Up the road are cafes, restaurants and loads of little antique shops. In the other direction, the Cascade Female Factory historical site and the Cascade Brewery.

The other thing we noticed was Nina's passion for Hobart and Tassie. She can recommend many a number of ways to spend your time; where to go and where to eat or when to pack a picnic (Tassie produce is amazing)! She just wanted us to love it as much as she obviously does!

We had the perfect holiday together and have already started planning our next trip. I'll be telling everyone I know to go to Hobart - I loved it so much I think I'll move there! And I'll be telling them all that Nina's apartment is the only place to stay.

So go and enjoy it for yourself!
