We stayed for 4 days at Christine and Renato's place which was set under their house, it was very private and very charming. We flew into Hobart early and had prearranged to get there at 10.00am. On arrival we were asked in for coffee and they gave us great info on what to see and do. They are extremely easy to talk to and nothing is a bother. The house is on a steep incline so not sure how some elderly would go.
The kitchen was stocked well and the bathroom had a brilliant shower! There are heaters in the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen so it was easy to keep warm on the cold nights. We walked to Salamenca Place, just over 30mins down hill and the restaurants were not far either. I would definitely recommend for you to stay here, we found it had everything you needed for a short or long stay. We would love to return someday.
