Lovely house, quiet treed area but 5 minutes drive to Hobart. Local bus nearby or walk down the rivulet into CBD. Great local cafe and supermarket to walk too. Beautiful heritage area, house had everything that u could need, comfy quiet rooms. Stayed two weeks, very relaxing and enjoyed the secluded back garden. Walked up the rivulet to the Female Factory (convict workhouse), make sure u attend the midday live performance. Did the usual tourist things - Salamanca markets, wharfs, Mt Wellington, Huon Jet boat, Franks cider at Huonville. Make sure u go to the Bruny Island wildlife 3 hour boat trip to the Southern Ocean, seals, albatross flying and many other birds. Also sea kayaking with the Roaring Forties at Fortescue Bay was my husbands highlight, full day tour from Hobart. Love Hobart, do stay at Dorothy'S House, you won't be disappointed.
