I stayed in Blue Magnolia for a week in January as I was in Hobart for work. It is an amazing experience. The house is a beautiful, architecturally designed conversion of an old stone cottage and is as spectacular as it looks in the photos. I really got the sense that I was living in an episode of "Grand Designs" in my week there. The kitchen was well-appointed which was a real plus as I like to cook and there were breakfast things in the fridge, which was a very thoughtful touch as it does take a while to get to know where everything is in a new area. All appliances were very new and easy to use. There is a dishwasher and washing machine for those who need them. The bed was extremely comfortable and all linen was provided, and a fireplace, which I unfortunately couldn't use because it was summer when I stayed there but I imagine it would be lovely in winter. I did make extensive use of the small deck out the back however, with the lovely views towards the city. Eve was a excellent host who was quick to respond to my messages. I actually had miscalculated my dates and needed to stay an extra night and she was very helpful in this regard.
West Hobart is a charming historic part of the city and Blue Magnolia is a short fifteen minute walk into town. I didn't really make use of my car when going down to the city or the waterfront. There are a lot of excellent cafes nearby and it is very close to Sandy Bay and the Hill Street Grocer.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Blue Magnolia and look forward to staying there again.
