Good house, great view - but!
The house was spacious and had a fantastic view over Hobart and the Derwent. We had a fabulous view of the fireworks on new years eve. The furniture was modern and the beds were comfortable.However, this is premium accommodation and there were some things that could and should have been better.Some kitchen surfaces and cupboards were greasy. Some food in the pantry was well over its use by dates and some open jars, such as a pasta sauce, should have been in the refrigerator (or thrown away). Most accommodation we have stayed in has had coffee or ideally coffee making facilities for weary travellers, and milk in the fridge. This place had neither. There was a limited range of cooking utensils and the ones that were supplied were showing their age.One of the higher kitchen cupboard doors was hanging by a single hinge (fixed by me).The house has five bedrooms, spread over three levels, but only one ensuite and one common bathroom, both on the third level. The shower in the ensuite was an overhead rain-type shower which is tricky to use if you dont want to wash your hair - so functionally only one full bathroom.The driveway is steep, very, very steep. I had new tyres on my car but could not make it to the top without them spinning and squealing on dry days.The back garden was unkempt and there was no outside table or chairs.This property charges premium prices and the house is generally very comfortable. However with minimal extra effort it could be much better.
