This home is an architectural masterpiece in an idyllic setting on the slopes of Mt Wellington. The design is timeless with lovely detailing and finishes and timbers which still look superb decades on as shown clearly in the web photographs which are very accurate . The floor to ceiling windows provide ample light and extensive views onto a private garden filled with visiting wildlife such as wallabies and huge, yellow-tailed black cockatoos which we never tired of watching.
Although the property is in an ideal location for exploring the many walking tracks on Mt Wellington, it is only a ten minute drive from the CBD, good suburban shopping and many other tourist attractions. We've been to Hobart several times now and this visit for us was mostly about bushwalking, visiting wineries and relaxing at Kunanyi. It was a joy to come home to each day and, at night, lie in bed and stargaze through the tall windows.
Given that all the bedrooms are of a similar size, the house would be ideal for several couples or a family reunion of adults.
I also loved the hand-made soaps, specialty shampoos and range of teas in the pantry as well as the superb range of tourist brochures, books and maps on the desk in the kitchen area.
Sarah and Simon were very good hosts who made us feel very welcome and ensured our stay went smoothly from start to finish.
We both look forward to a return visit.
