We loved our stay at Hope Stables. Communication with Jacquie was professional and prompt from first to last. Her welcome, on arrival, was warm and genuine. Hope Stables itself is quirky, comfortable and spacious. It is more than adequately equipped for self-catering if that's your thing, although there are literally dozens of cafes, bars and restaurants within a five to ten minutes walk if you prefer to let someone else do all the hard work. Jacquie also provided a generous and thoughtful amount of provisions for breakfasts as well as a large range of basic larder ingredients, saving time and expense at the supermarket. It's an interesting (downhill!) half hour walk along Elizabeth Street to the CBD and waterfront and all of the other Hobart attractions are accessible from there. Overall, close to perfect, and Jacquie is a wonderful and considerate host.
