We loved our stay at Gypsy's Rest!
I am studying in Melbourne but travel home to Tasmania every summer to see family, and decided to come down to Hobart for a few days. Gypsy's Rest was in great proximity to the city and we used it as our central base to explore Mount Wellington, Port Arthur and Bruny Island. We were able to bring my fur baby Dusty along also and it was great peace of mind to be able to leave him in a secure yard while we were out and about at non-dog-friendly locations!
The home was beautifully furnished and super clean. There was tea, coffee, milk, eggs and chocolates waiting for us on arrival and Kellie went above and beyond with communication and even offered us a late check out of 12pm. The home had an android tv which provided us with some well-earned netflix after a few long days of walking and the shower was fab.
For dog owners: there were some poop bags provided (although of course we brought our own) and there are 3 windows in the living space which you may need to close the blinds to if your dog is a barker (as they have a clear view of the overpass). Make sure your dog is threshold trained too as the distance from the front door to the highway is very short! Kellie was more than accommodating with our pooch and I would recommend this as pet friendly accommodation to others :)
