I stayed here for 4 nights on my own and had a lovely stay.
The place itself is beautifully renovated to maintain the history of the maid with up to date touches of cause like heated tiles and towel rack in the bathroom, gas fire, dishwasher and internet.
I enjoyed eating my breakfast each morning out the front in the cool air overlooking the little view.
Each day I walked into Hobart, down to the harbour, Sandy Bay. Woolworths is only around the corner so if you are staying for a few days it’s easy to do your groceries.
If you are not a capable walker I would drive as there are a few hills heading down into the city or Salamanca if not it’s a lovely walk.
I was worried without the fire I would get cold (being from a much warmer climate) but I turned it off each night and actually found myself quite warm during the night.
Staying by myself I felt quite safe in this really beautiful, quiet location.
