This place exceeded our expectations - the pictures are certainly accurate, if anything, the real thing was nicer. The warm flannel sheets, fire and heater left us nice and toasty despite the weather that was a world away from what we are used to as Brisbane. The hosts had fantastic flexibility, being accommodating with a last minute modification to our reservation since our other guests mixed their flights up. Check in and out was easy. Communication was quick. Even though it meant more in transport costs, staying a little bit out in Blackmans Bay as opposed to Hobart city ended up being. a great choice, it's a gorgeous little town. The price of the place is great value for what you are getting.
Just for future travellers coming from the bigger cities, be aware that Uber is often unavailable during the week from the house, though no problem getting back. There is, however, public transport around the corner. We recommend hiring a car though, as we did for our first half of the stay - so many beautiful places to go that is only a short drive away - Mt. Wellington being high on that list.
