We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Glebe Emporium in Hobart.

The apartment was a former general store serving the Glebe area of Hobart way back in the 1920s. Consequently it has retained its picturesque, street facing double frontage. The interior is tastefully decorated and well furnished to make for a comfortable stay. Basic foods were provided, a thoughtful touch, especially if arriving late or on a Sunday when getting provisions can be a little challenging.

Glebe Emporium is well located for Hobart CBD (15 minute walk) and the waterfront (20 minute walk). The piers here can be used for various day trips (including the impressive Museum for Old And Modern Art). The apartment has a huge collection of information pamphlets with information of these and other local attractions. The famous Salamanca Market is within comfortable walking distance. The local eateries at the North end of Elizabeth Street are also within easy reach. We had a great Indian meal at Mother of India. If you’re driving then there’s all-day parking available just across the road.

Freya was a great host. She contacted us well before we arrived to organise key collection and offered advice for our road trip down to Hobart. She came to see us once we settled in and gave us loads of useful information on the city and surroundings. She left us with a comprehensive manual for the apartment and although unnecessary during our stay, she was easy to contact if need be.

The only downside to our stay in Hobart was that we had to leave! Too little time to fully appreciate the city. When we return we will definitely request to stay at Glebe Emporium again. Thanks Freya!
