We were so lucky to have stayed at Waimea for 5 nights during our recent trip to Hobart. Almost couldn't believe the across the board 5-star reviews for this place before arriving, but now having experienced it, it's easy to see why people love it so much!
Nestled at the top of the block in the picturesque Sandy Bay, this truly was the serene oasis we were hoping for. With stunning views of Mt Wellington that you literally wake up to from your bedroom each morning, everything about this place was amazing; the stylish yet welcoming interiors, terrific modern fit-out, beautiful and elegant styling, generous space, and surrounding apple trees where you could go pick fresh apples at any time. There was even freshly baked bread there for us when we arrived from one of Hobart's best bakeries. Lovely with some butter and jam!
Georgie and Stu were truly amazing hosts (they live in the main home next door, although you have your own privacy). Georgie was there to greet us on arrival and give us the lowdown on the property, as well as provide us with some restaurant and cafe recommendations. She was also very available with any questions we had, as was Stu. Genuinely fabulous hosts who take pride in the property.
Sandy Bay itself is truly beautiful, where you're only a few hundred metres to the waterfront and not far from the foot on the mountains. This was one of the best Airbnb stays I've experienced, and would recommend to anyone. Can't wait to go back!
