Sandy Bay townhouse feedback
Awesome stay for 4px/2 couples - cosy without being cramped or on top of each other. Very comfy beds and decent pillows which were very much appreciated. Bathroom is lovely & additional powder room downstairs made it perfect. Didn’t use laundry facilities but would be very handy for longer stay. Kitchen is great & fully equipped - grateful for the number of mugs & glasses so we didn’t have to constantly wash up and waste water (one d/w load at end only). Split system downstairs warms upstairs master if door left open (which had heat panel but did not need to use) so the 3 degree morning didn’t bother us at all! (so imagine conversely, same case for hot weather where split system d’strs would cool u’strs as well). We tackled the steep hill and Nanny Goat Lane steps on foot without too much effort so was handy to be able to walk most places, including our favourite - the nearby Jackman McRoss bakery which was dangerously close and mighty good!! (Highly recommend!!) Neighbourhood is quiet and well located, incl being walking distance to local shops, pub & restaus. The on-site parking was handy last day when we had a car. Would imagine the private backyard would be great to bbq/sit to eat in warmer weather (maybe next time!!). Ch’in/out without a hitch. Quality reno fixtures, fittings & furniture throughout - contemporary/modern space with all we needed & more!
Didn’t meet or have contact with owners/Hosts, who now have agent/rep managing on their behalf. We did increase our stay by an extra night for two of us (only) at the last minute; however, check in and check out times were very strictly enforced/adhered to, which may have meant it was a busy period, but (on this occasion anyway) was inflexible (although we did manage to rent a room close by for half day for the 4 of us to store our cases until after lunch/check in time first day). That said, would absolutely stay again when visiting Hobart if our flights got in later/closer to early-mid afternoon check in time. Usually fully strip beds, wash/dry sheets anywhere we stay before we leave; however this property has rented linens (sheets, towels etc), so only stripped off and set aside, put rubbish/recycling out, all dishes washed & away, and cleaned kitchen & bathrooms, before vaccing and leaving. Enjoyable stay - thnx Julie & Matt!
