Loved our overnight stay - room 4 was small but suited for one night. Could do with a box of tissues in the room though.
Breakfast was lovely, staff friendly and very pleasant atmosphere.

The property is a converted historic house and has been beautifully renovated into a boutique b&b in a great location.
Didn't see a soul, except at breakfast (including check in).
Breakfast was lovely, and the Conservatory is a wonderful space.
Room was comfortable, but the only window was in the bathroom area (with a frosted glass door to let light into to room). Not a problem as we spent little time there other than sleeping!!

This was a friendly, cozy hotel with great staff and a congenial atmosphere. The food at breakfast was great, as was the environment. The rooms were entirely adequate, though you won't call them luxurious. Overall, it was a great stay with a uniquely warm vibe.

Beautiful small inn.
Lovely small hotel/inn. Information was communicated to us promptly about check in process and parking as there is not a front desk. Our room was very nice although a bit small but fine for a night or two. The common areas are lovely and the breakfast was wonderful. We would definitely stay again. The location is also very good.

Perfect hidden gem
The hotel is located centrally to the cbd. Rooms are comfortable with own ensuite, tea and coffee. There is also a large conservatory / common area where you can relax.
The breakfast provided is next level. The staff (particularly Zoe) were super helpful. If i couldve stayed longer i would.

Beautiful heritage building opposite city park and Design Tasmania. We had one of the front rooms facing the park which was nicely appointed and light. Breakfast was nice and healthy. Staff were helpful and friendly. Overall very pleasant stay for us. However, we were travelling with friends who had a room without external windows other than in the bathroom. They found their room rather dark
