A great base for exploring Hobart

A fab self-contained garden apartment in a beautiful suburb of Hobart. Good parking and easy access to public transport, Hobart CBD and Sandy Bay facilities. Wonderful support and communication from host Janina. We can't recommend this accommodation enough to all ages adults.

A lovely garden apartment

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Sandy Bay. It was within easy reach of Hobart CBD, local restaurants and great shopping. Janina and Gary are thoughtful, friendly and considerate hosts and helped us feel right at home. The garden is a jewel, full of color and beautiful plants and the apartment very comfortable. We hope to return on our next visit to Hobart.

Delightful!

Beautiful location, we were well looked after, arriving late (8.30pm instead of 4 as flight was delayed) in gale winds, Janina gifted us eggs and bacon to cook up for our evening meal, which was soo appreciated! Garden and views were special, and accomodation was neat and clean with all amenities provided. Janina and Gary were lovely souls who kept us up to date with local events and places to eat/visit. Highly recommend staying here xx

Excellent accommodation. Very homely and comfortable. Lovely garden to relax in and enjoy. Only one thing required is a larger blanket for the bed. It was a double and a queen size would have been warmer.

Sandy Bay

Janina and Gary are warm and welcoming hosts who have put so much thought into making their guests feel very much at home. The flat is fantastic and very comfortable, surrounded by a beautiful garden. The area is close to the beach and supermarkets and eateries. Views are amazing. City is close by and with a car there are so many daytrips possible. Our hosts were very helpful with great suggestions on places to visit and best ways to enjoy this lovely city.

Our stay

Overall was good. Janina was just lovely and accommodating. She provided tea, coffee, milk, biscuits etc. Everything supplied and bed was comfortable. You would assume the photo shown in the advertisement was the view from the accommodation. However it's the view from the house in front so we found this a little disappointing. Overall not overly roomy but as I said everything supplied.
