Fantastic place, fantastic location
We just loved our stay in such a spacious and clean home, located near North Hobart's "eat street". Christine, the host, was so lovely and was only too happy to help even with the tiniest of issues (even though we didn't have any!). Strongly recommend this place!

We loved our stay at Christine’s. It’s really spacious and was great for our group of 5 adults and a baby. The location couldn’t have been better with shops, cafes & restaurants all within a short stroll. It was super clean and very relaxing. I would definitely stay again!

Group of 4 singles and we loved our stay, huge house, plenty of room and nice touch with some nibbles on arrival. Close enough to everything you need to get to, we took an Uber most places as walk was just that bit far

good base in North Hobart
This is a lovely, well equipped and spacious house in which to stay, and has a couple of outdoor areas - quite an achievement in this area! We really appreciated the attention to detail, even including a few pantry supplies which we very much appreciated given our late arrival.

Home away from home on George.
We have stayed at Home on George about 4 times now, we have greatly enjoyed every visit and will be planning our next stay soon. The home has every amenity we could wish for, gorgeous decor with that cool mix of convict brick workers cottage with modern bathrooms, kitchen, fixtures and appliances. Every need is catered for with generous seating and dining options, big comfy beds, cooking and cleaning products, pet accessories, games, two outdoor entertaining areas including the rooftop deck overlooking North Hobart, Glebe, the city, and a big beautiful view of Mt Wellington. The day we arrived it was 40°c in Hobart and the home was a cool relief, due to it's architectual features of brick exterior walls & courtyard it feels completely energy passive, we could not tell what temperature it was outside while enjoying a wine & cheese platter at the large breakfast bar. We were children free this trip, for a 3 night stay to see in the New year and our 20th Anniversary, but previous stays with our kids was just as relaxing, the home is super kid friendly and safe. Christine and Rod spoilt us with treats for our anniversary, making us feel very special, we enjoyed them all. They are fantastic hosts, welcoming and helpful, and the standard they keep their property at is a credit to them. We love Home on George and cannot wait to visit again soon.

Home away from home!
The photos really don't do this place any justice, everything is so beautiful. We were made feel very welcome right from the very beginning. Hosts are very lovely and easy to talk to. The extra little things such as fresh flowers and indoor plants through out house( one thing i personally love!) add to the 'warmth' and homeliness of this beautiful place. Actually felt a bit like we were staying at a friend's home for our stay. We definitely would love to come back stay again. Really recommend a stay here to anyone.

Best house in North Hobart!
Loved this little gem of a place! Lovely spacious house with all the mod cons in an old world style setting. Christine was a great host & its all the little extras that make this place outstanding - vases of fresh flowers, plants, nice bedding, comfy lounge, kitchen supplies & the surrounding neighbourhood has many excellent restaurants which our host was able to suggest the best ones to go. I'll be back here again thats for sure!

Couldn;t Want For Anything More
This was my 1st 'HomeAway Stay' and it was fantastic. Location, excellent, and very quiet. The house, excellent. Everything you could ever want was provided - the kitchen was so well equipped. There was milk, fruit, wine etc, all provided on arrival!!!!!!! Each person slept extremely well, including myself in the beautiful loft with ensuite. The owners were only too happy to make our stay as pleasant as possible, without imposing on our privacy. As I said, couldn't ask for more.
