Our group of 5 adults had a wonderful stay at Red Door Penthouse. We were visiting Hobart during Mona's Dark Mofo winter festival and wanted a place that was convenient to Salamanca Place and the city.
The house is the top floor of a Federation home that is spacious and has been well fitted out with all creature comforts. The bedrooms are comfortable and roomy, with a large master bedroom with ensuite. The other two bedrooms are separated by the main bathroom. There is privacy when needed and beautifully decorated and comfortable shared areas, with leather lounges, plenty of throw blankets, a dining table that you can all sit around, a great kitchen with plenty of features (4 slice toaster, fancy espresso maker, microwave, stovetop, oven etc). There was coffee, tea, sugar and other necessities provided plus shampoo, conditioner and body wash in the bathrooms.
Kathryn and Hillary have given a lot of thought into decorating the house to make the place appealing, including lovely art on the walls, books, dvds and magazines. The outdoor terrace was great on a sunny afternoon and has views of Mt Wellington. We also enjoyed their personal guide and tips for things to do in and around Hobart.
One of the hidden features we appreciated was the double glazed windows which meant that traffic noise was minimal. It is a quiet and peaceful place to stay which our group found to be perfect when we were not out and about exploring Hobart or enjoying the events and activities of Dark Mofo.
We were able to walk to the city and Salamanca Place. We hired a car for a couple of day trips and were able to park it on site.
Kathryn was quick to respond and always helpful with our requests. A great place to stay.
