My partner and I have just had 3 glorious days at The Barn. This place is a hidden gem, but not for long I suspect. The building is a stunning mixture of 19th century charm with 21st century design and comfort. So tastefully done. The little courtyard was a tranquil place to rest after enjoying the many sites of Hobart.

Staying here does not compare with the "normal' hotel or apartment style accommodation. It's a much more unique and "one off" experience that greatly enhanced our sense of "getting away" from our routine lives.

Liz and Alex were wonderful hosts offering a personal touch and great flexibility with our travel schedule. We were greeted by a lovely bottle of sparkling wine and a great guide to their personal favourite spots around town. A few of which we tried and can vouch for their taste, particularly in cafe choices.

The Barn is walking distance from everything. 8 mins to the centre of town. 15 mins to Salamanca. We strolled 20 mins to North Hobart for breakfast at Berta (one of the host's favourites) which was superb. We also had lunch 200 metres up the road at the Pigeon Hole Cafe which was a very cute place with fantastic food and coffee.

We can't speak highly enough of this place and our hosts. 5 stars!!
