We had a very enjoyable 3 nights in Hobart staying at The Merchant’s Townhouse. Laura was always prompt and friendly in her communication leading up to and during our stay. Adam was there to greet us and show us around ... his workmanship and creative flare has bought a unique style and ambience to the historic building - we loved all the special touches ... the blend of old and new.
The bed was very comfortable and fitted with luxurious linen. However, the bedroom does face Macquarie Street and although the windows are double glazed ... some traffic noise can be heard during the night. This didn’t bother my husband at all, however I was glad I bought my ear-plugs. No noise can be heard from the kitchen/lounge area which has a lovely peaceful outlook to the rivulet at the rear of the house.
The kitchen was very well equiped and the gourmet grocery store a few blocks down the road (The Salad Bowl) is a gem for fresh food, deli items and cooked meals. It also has a bakery section and bottle shop.
The location was great for us. An easy stroll into town or down to Salamanca and the waterfront.
