If your accommodation - the base for your holiday activities - can make or break a holiday, then this is the only place we will stay when in Hobart. As long as Thomas and Alison offer their lovely apartment, then Sailboats and City Views is where we'll lay our hat while we're in Tasmania.

There aren't enough words to express how much we enjoyed our stay! It was the perfect place to come home to after each of our fun-filled days of adventuring.

We were greeted with a beautifully fresh, clean, warm and homey space that had been prepared with impeccable attention to detail - a bottle of delicious local wine, tea, coffee, milk, free wifi and absolutely ALL of the little things to make us feel truly at home (hairdryer, iron, Playstation, mirrored wardrobe doors - the list goes on). And, it really did feel like home.

The apartment offers clever storage, ample hanging space for clothes, and the layout makes the compact apartment space work hard. For example, we had a plethora of storage for all of our belongings and we were able to tuck away our suitcases, travel gear and purchases. There were three of us, and we each had ample room to spread out.

A study/desk nook housed my laptop, paperwork and brochures away from our daily hubbub, and the couch and beds were so comfortable.

Thomas and Alison are such lovely people who couldn't do enough for us - they answered our text messages and calls quickly, and they so generously answered our questions about Hobart, MONA and the DarkMofo festival. When we stay in Hobart in the future - and we are definitely going back - this is where we will stay. No question.
