The space
The house just did the renovation: removed all the old carpet and change all to the wooden floor.

With three floors, this house is extremely spacious. There is a huge backyard, which means there are a lot of play spaces, so you can have fun without even having to go out. Don't forget to mention the million dollar views which a lot of guests mentions are not worth one million, and are worth three times more than that.

This house is great for large groups, especially a few families who want to live together. A perfect holiday house, beautifully furnished, very well equipped and just a 5 minutes drive to the Hobart CBD, 25 mins to the Airport and 5 mins to the shops.

Other things to note
There is a one car garage available and there is also parking space in front of garage. However the driveway is quite steep which can be a problem for some drivers. But I still hope you try your best to park in the garage or the space in front of the garage. If you have to park on the side of the road, please make sure you do not block opposite neighbors' driveway.

A little tip for the driveway: because the street is one Cul-de-sac (No exit street) and very short, Please do turn around first at the end of the street. So when you drive up the driveway, it will make sure you are facing the driveway straight up, not in turning position. If you do not quite get what I mean, please have a look at some photos with the whole house/street views.

Baby equipment available:
Two portacots, high chair, stroller, stairs guards etc.

We are locals who came from New Zealand initially, after coming to Hobart, we fall in love to it. The things we love most about Hobart are the beautiful scenery, water/mountain view everywhere, the fabulous food and the world class markets and world class festivals. We like the easy pace of life here which is really like New Zealand and enjoy camping, fishing (especially the dad), bush walking and eating out at the many great restaurants and markets. We also like to travel, both abroad and within Australia. We run women fashion retail business, named Merric at Centre Point Shopping Centre. If you come to the shops and mentioning Airbnb guests, we could give you 10% off everything storewide.
