Not our first stay, won't be our last.
This property is ideal, the location is perfect - close to North Hobart and all the amazing food on offer, a short drive to the CBD or MONA, but also in a quiet street when you're ready to call it a night. This was our second stay, communication is excellent and the house accommodated the six of us perfectly. We will be back!

Great house in a great spot
We were in town for just one night, this house was the perfect spot - a short easy drive to the cafe & dining strip in North Hobart and town, and located in a quiet neighbourhood for when we were ready to settle for the night. The host was a fantastic communicator and the whole thing couldn't have been easier, or more suited to exactly what we needed. We will definitely be back

Staying in Moonah
The house is well presented, has a great artdeco presence with enough upgrades to add comfort and usability. Access was simple and efficient for us, while it was great to find accomodation that offered a single night stay.
