We loved this historic property. It still had all the comforts of a modern facility. The heated blanket was a big hit. The receptionist/manager was very welcoming and helpful with information about Tasmania. It was very clean.

The room was incredible with lots of thoughtful touches from the wonderful staff. The building is stunning and in a fantastic location. Just be aware that it's heritage listed so you can hear other guests (there are signs asking for quiet and ear plugs are provided) and there are a couple of flights of stairs from the carpark to the top floor; people with mobility issues may find it difficult. We loved our stay and would gladly go back!
