Beautiful house and accessible features.
A group of 6 people (3 couples) stayed here in May 23. Majority of the group with some type of disability or physical impairment. We had such a wonderful time! The house is accessible for ambulating around in. There is one room on the same floor as the kitchen/living area and the main bathroom/toilet area. The other two rooms are either up a flight of stairs (master) or down a few steps. We felt the house might need a few minor updates to make it fully accessible (railings in main bathroom, place to put towels and toiletries) but other than that it’s in a lovely quiet location and the hosts are wonderful to deal with. Thank you for providing such a great place to base ourselves while we explored Hobart and it’s surrounds.
