I was in Hobart for a week for work. To be opposite a number of city beaches meant you could start and end the day on the beach. I had a bike and a lovely 30 minute ride into the city centre each day. It is spacious, was immaculately clean and Kate, the host was so helpful.
I had a great week it felt more like a holiday than work. Huge sash windows with glimpses of the sea. Well heated.
