I usually stay in Hobart CBD for convenience but needed a 3 bedroom home on this occasion. Manitu was perfect - a bus stop across the road, perched up in an unusually flat West Hobart Street, with sweeping views across the Derwent to the Eastern Shore. With a beautiful Hobart sandstone exterior, Manitu keeps out the extremes of Tasmania’s winter. With heating in the lounge and all bedrooms, even winter was comfortable inside. Tastefully decorated, and with use of an outdoor dining area, this has been a lovely spot for an extended stay. Off-road parking is available for one car but there is plenty of on-street parking in this safe locale. With restaurants at either end of the road and a cafe in between, this is a great locale. Walkable to Hill St grocer and with a bath and washing machine, it is a comfortable home away from home. Eloïse was a great host - lovely finishing touches and fast response to communication.
