Excellent and well located property

The property had everything we needed for four days in Hobart. Conveniently located to the city with great local amenities. Get ready for a workout if you're walking as it's a hilly area. The property itself is clean and comfortable with everything you need. Instructions for checking out didn't specify anything for bedding or towels so hoping we got that right.

Hill St West Hobart.

The house itself is nice. It has 3 double beds with the slats continuing to come off the end bedroom bed. Therefore making a loud racket through the night creating a large dip in the mattress. There was also alot of dirt and an empty water bottle under that bed. The lounge suite is only made for 5 and there was 6 of us. Found a used covid tester on the floor next to the fridge. An easy 30 minute brisk walk to the centre but a really hard walk back due to the steepness of the area.

A disappointment

This house was a disappointment. It is in a great location, and is very clean, but it is kitted out in an extremely cheap fashion. The walls are paper thin so you can hear everything going on in the house, regardless of where you are. The utensils/appliances are inadequate / extremely flimsy. The (plastic) potato masher collapsed when we used it for its intended purpose. We had to go and buy our own casserole dish as there were none provided. There is also no vegetable steamer, coffee machine or wine opener - which are usually standard in holiday rentals at this level. When I complained to the owner she was very quick to get new utensils delivered from Coles (the exact same potato masher!), and sent us some chocolates as well. That was nice, but if you want to self cater, and value some privacy, I would suggest staying elsewhere.

We found this better than our expectations and it was in a great location for first time visitors to Hobart! Great pizza restaurant just a minute away. Stunning morning view of Mount Wellington on the daily walk for the best coffee at the Landsdowne cafe! Easy access to the CBD. Loved it all.

Convenient for City

This cosy house is in a good location for access to Hobart. The hill down to the city is quite steep for walking, but very doable if you have a little fitness. We had a small glitch when we first moved in but the host fixed it very quickly and we had a great stay. There is a lovely coffee shop just 250m away and a great restaurant even closer. There is also an excellent IGA and Post Office on the corner. We managed to park two 4WDs in the driveway next to the house, one behind the other - a little tight but not too much trouble to get in and out.

Good location but busy street

Property was close to everything including CBD but was a very busy street. We had a Landcruiser and parking was a real problem, even though off-street. Cars parked either side of driveway didn't help. Still, a nice property and clean. Lighting in main room could be improved, was quite dim.

Comfortable stay and pet friendly

We enjoyed our stay at this property as did our dog Buddy. The house is well presented with modern touches. There is a doggy door and a nice size yard. There is a convenience store (well stocked) and Italian restaurant nearby. The Hill St grocer is not far and is fantastic however you may require a car otherwise expect to get your steps up on the hill. A great holiday in Hobart and close driving distance to everything otherwise Uber readily available.

A little disappointing.

Unfortunately house wasn’t very clean when we checked in. Cleaners were perhaps in holiday mode. Little bugs/mites around the bathroom sink that kept coming back. Only 1 TV in entire house, would have been nice to have a TV in one of the bedrooms. Other than than house is a good size, location very central, good heating and well equipped kitchen. Not too bad but room for improvement.

Great location if you have a car. We used this as a place to sleep - leaving early each morning and coming back late each night. Wouldn’t stay here if no car, that little bit too far out to walk to the centre. Easy check-in process.

Great stay in Hobart

We loved our stay at Hill Street. The house was clean and quiet and is in a great position close to the city and the fabulous Hill street grocer. We were four adults in three rooms and could not hear any sound from other rooms. We can definitely recommend this house as a great place to stay when visiting Hobart.
