Szybki przegląd: A beautiful heritage shell that delivers on romance and history but occasionally stumbles on modern service consistency.
Przejrzane przez @eatdrinkandbekerry: I stayed at Maylands Lodge in Hobart and it was pure magic. The historic details like the fretwork are stunning, but the real highlight for me was the fireplace and that incredible deep soaking tub. Definitely a luxe stay if you want something special.

FAQ i ukryte porady
Wszystko, co naprawdę chcesz wiedzieć, zanim zarezerwujesz.
Is there a gym or pool?

Is breakfast included?
Yes, a continental breakfast is typically included, with cooked options available (though quality reviews are mixed).
How far is the city center?
It's about a 6-8 minute drive or a $15-20 Uber ride to the Hobart waterfront/Salamanca Place.

Surprisingly yes—they have 'Two Bedroom Studios' (Hunter or Pearce) that work well for families, though the vibe is quiet.
Does the hotel have air conditioning?
Yes, rooms have split-system AC/heating, which is essential for Hobart's variable weather.
Is there an elevator?
No. You must use the stairs to reach the upper floor. Request a ground floor room if this is an issue.
Porady dla wtajemniczonych
- ✨
The 'honesty bar' in the guest lounge is a lovely touch for a nightcap by the fire.
- ✨
Ask staff about the 'tower room' history—it was once used for time-outs in the girls' school era.
- ✨
Kmart New Town is literally a 6-minute walk away if you forgot any essentials (a funny but practical perk).
5 rzeczy, które warto wiedzieć przed wyjazdem
💡The 'garden view' in some ground floor rooms is more of a 'bush/fence view'.
💡The bathroom glass in some suites can switch from opaque to clear—cool, but tricky if you don't know how to use it.
💡It can feel a bit like a ghost town at night if the restaurant isn't open; very few staff around.
💡The towels have been flagged recently as being surprisingly thin for a luxury property.
💡You are right next to a suburban shopping strip, so the immediate vicinity lacks 'old world' charm once you leave the gates.
