This place was just as advertised. We went on a particularly cold weekend (in November), snowing on the mountain, but the house felt so warm and cozy with the central heating. It was tastefully decorated, historic but modern amenities. The view and garden were sensational. Even though it was freezing, we rugged up so we could have a glass of wine on the verandah when we came home, to watch the twinkling lights. Martin was very welcoming and friendly. We had a great time, only wished I could have spent longer at the house, but there are so any things to do in Hobart, hard to fit it all in.
