Чому люди це люблять
- The gardens are legitimate botanical masterpieces, not just a patch of grass
- Free parking in Hobart is a rare unicorn, and they have it
- The honesty bar in the drawing room feels like a private club
Короткий огляд: A stunning heritage time capsule that demands you be okay with creaky floorboards and steep hills.
Переглянуто @eatdrinkandbekerry: I stayed in Mary Spode's room and honestly, it was magical. The bathroom has an actual fireplace next to the clawfoot tub, which was such a treat. Waking up to views of the gardens and Hobart city made me never want to leave.

Reality check
The walk back from the waterfront is a steep, calf-burning uphill hike that catches many off guard.
- You love history and antiques more than modern minimalism
- You have a rental car and need a safe place to stash it
- You appreciate a silent, residential vibe over a lobby DJ
Чистота та обслуговування
9.5
- Housekeeping: Immaculate. Daily service in main house; cottages are self-maintained but spotless on arrival.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Vintage clawfoot tubs are pristine, though grout in older tiles shows age (not dirt).
- Maintenance: Excellent preservation of a 150-year-old building. Paint is fresh, gardens are manicured.
- Linens & towels: High quality, crisp white linens and fluffy towels.
- Odors & scents: Smells like old wood, wax, and fresh flowers. No musty 'old house' funk.

Джин номерів
Найкращі вибори
- The Verandah Room (Main House) — Direct access to the balcony with sweeping harbor views.

- Mary Spode Room — Lightest, brightest room in the main house with a great clawfoot tub.
Номери, яких варто уникати
- Servants' Quarters — Authentic and cozy, but dark and requires navigating stairs for the bathroom.
- Any cottage if you have bad knees (stairs are mandatory).

“I'd love to request the Verandah Room for the views, or alternatively the Mary Spode room for the light. If booking a cottage, please confirm it's not one with the steepest stairs if possible.”

5 речей, які варто знати перед вашим виїздом
💡The water pressure in the upstairs heritage rooms can be 'gentle' (read: weak) due to old plumbing.
💡The 'Servants' Quarters' cottage is literally where the servants lived — it's small and rustic by design.
💡You can hear your neighbors walking in the room above you in the main house.
💡The rollaway bed fee is a steep $85 AUD per night.
💡There is no dinner service on-site, so you must venture out or order in.
