We stayed at Ian's place for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Ian's and Tess's hospitality had no bounds and nothing was too much trouble. They helped us sourcing bush walks close to their home and provided verbal and written advice regarding other activities in and around Hobart.
We spotted the house from both the listing's description and photos without even having to search for the street number. The house and surrounds exuded a positive welcoming vibe that automatically made us feel "at home" and very relaxed.

The neighbourhood is semi rural with the benefits of being within 3 kms of the gentle "hum drum" of Hobart. The dwelling is nestled in the foothills with beautiful views of the forest from your bed. So after a big day out, we could hide away and relax in a country setting knowing that the city conveniences were on our door step.
This location is conveniently located adjacent to Waterworks Reserve which is a good spot to set out on a number of well marked short walks. The walk along the Sandy Bay Rivulet into Hobart is beautiful and a great way to start the day. If you are planning on a late night out, or not keen on long walks, maybe a hire car or use of a Taxi would be advisable.
