Retired airline employee having worked overseas and in Australia for a variety of carriers during my working life. I understand how important it is to communicate and offer not only value for money, but a great experience for my Guests. I have renovated both 19th Century cottages myself with a lot of hard work and rewarding effort. It’s very important to me that my Guests have a unique and relaxing stay. Occassionally, I may not be available. However, my daughter Kate may be able to assist where possible. Please do not hesitate to contact myself in order to be of assistance.

The cottage is located in another one of Hobart's historical locations, being only a 5 minute walk or so to the centre of Hobart itself. 'Queens Pastry, a local and popular bakery/coffee shop, is about 100 metres away on the corner of Melville and Harrington Streets. Xian Dumpling, Urban Greek and a list of too many other places are within easy walking distance. Salamanca itself is an easy 15 minute walk through town which adjoins Battery Point, whilst the North Hobart restaurant precinct is also a 20 minute walk. There you will find a variety of food to whet any appetite. The State Cinema is a terrific place to both eat, drink and watch mainstream and non mainstream movies in very comfortable and cosy theatres. Walking, scooter hire, driving (taxis and share riding such as Uber) and the bus services are a standard way of getting about inner Hobart. Two scooter companies are now operating in Hobart. Dont forget that the Mona Ferry leaves from the Brooke St Pier which again is an easy 15 minute walk. It makes for a pleasant and scenic trip on The Derwent River.
