Hopefully if you’re lucky Shirley and Rick’s place is available. I spent three months there and it couldn’t have been a better experience. They are great people and I had the pleasure to get to know them.
A very nice home in a very close suburb to downtown Hobart. You will need a car to get to Hobart but it’s a short drive. Actually I took the bus often which runs well during rush hour but less so other times. Uber is a great option as well.
This is a quiet neighborhood which is really important to me as I am a very light sleeper. You can easily walk to a grocery store, bakeries, chemist (drug store), post office and a few restaurants which I did often.
Less than a block away there is a lovely park which overlooks the Derwent River with its beautiful view.
The house itself is well decorated, clean with everything you could possibly need. A well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and a pretty back yard with a beautiful black and white cat who visits daily.
Shirley and Rick were so helpful and responsive. A lot of good tips on Hobart and Tasmania.
Great place.
