We loved the Bishop's Quarters. Actually we loved everything about Hobart and coming home to this wonderful apartment in Sandy Bay made our stay even better. Bec was working so could not meet us but made us feel welcome with a home made lemon cake and a really beautifully presented apartment. She is absolutely right it is very warm - a quality that can not be over valued in Hobart! We thought it all sounded great but arriving was a real joy. The house is fascinating and the setting perfect - the views across the hills and the Derwent are quite lovely. Our days were very full so to be able to relax "at home" in the evenings was ideal. There are two spacious double bedrooms and a very glamourous bathroom - complete with shampoos, bubble bath and big fluffy towels. The sitting room has comfortable sofas - with spare rugs and cosy cushions. A huge telly kept us up to date with the world - once we worked out how to use it - and a there was a very fabulous music system too. Bec and Dermot left very clear information and about the facilities and about Hobart in general - with a brilliant list of 'top tips'. They also left a file about the interesting history of the house - it was the childhood home of Field Marshall Montgomery! This apartment is the first stage in their restoration project and so far they have done a great job. We cannot recommend the Bishop's Quarters highly enough. The Creans are very thoughtful hosts and the apartment was extremely comfortable and had everything we needed for a weeks visit. The kitchen is small (although the dining area is very spacious - with wonderful views) but well kitted out so ideal for simple meals at home and of course the restuarants of Hobart are numerous and fabulous. Fitzroy Avenue is a short walk to Battery Point - a must for breakfast, history and a bit of property envy! It is just a bit further to Salamanca and the water front, which is the centre of everything. And if you are a bit weary at the days end getting a taxi is easy and cheap. We did not use the buses but they are near by. The airport shuttle delivered us to the door. I struggled to imagine this happening in Brisbane. There is so much to do in and around Hobart, but among the less celebrated sights we recommend Louisa's Walk/Her Story at the Cascades female factory - quite wonderful.
