The leafy pad certainly lived up to it's name and we enjoyed walking along the rivulet nearby, and spending time in the shady yard with our daughter. Nina is a friendly and helpful host, who was prompt in responding to our queries or requests. The premises was clean and beautifully decorated with lots of plants and colourful prints and furnishings which gave it a very homely feel. The views of Mt Wellington from the kitchen window were spectacular! We cooked several meals in the well-stocked kitchen, particularly from the supplied breakfast goodies including home made jam, bread, bacon and eggs! More provisions came from the local gourmet grocery with lots of local Tassie produce. If cooking isn't your thing, a casual seafood restaurant and cafe are walking distance, as well as a fun park and view of the historic and quirky "Keens Curry" advertisement. We found the tip shop to be a hidden treasure, and sadly ran out of time to see the Cascade Women's Factory, so we vowed to return! A fun place in a great location, and a really enjoyable base to explore Hobart from.
