What a fabulous place to stay in Hobart-the view is even better in real life than in the photos, the house is super clean and modern, with great facilities, and David was an attentive and welcoming host.
It’s in a great location, for all day trips to Port Arthur, Mt Wellington, Bruny Island, and of course the Sandy Bay foreshore is just at the bottom of the hill.
Also at the bottom of the hill on the corner of Lipscombe and Sandy Bay roads is the gourmet grocer, Lipscombes Larder. We had amazing lunches and dinners from their supplies of salads, soups, pies, breads, cold cuts and takeaway dinners. No need to eat out with the view at the house, and a fabulous meal on hand!
As others have pointed out, a car is essential as it is at the top of a very steep hill, and you would have to be super fit to walk up and down the hill to public transport. I would also recommend arriving in daylight, unlike us who arrived on a very dark, rainy night, and had trouble negotiating the last very steep corner of a private road, as we could not see what was ahead. However, on arrival, everything was simple and straightforward in the house. It is on three levels, but that is explained in the description by the owners.
