Our house on two levels to take advantage of the stunning views over the city and River Derwent. On the ground floor is the entry, music/TV room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. On the first floor is the lounge, kitchen, dining, two bedrooms, study and bathroom. The house has floor to ceiling windows and a large deck. The house is on a steep block, the price you pay for views in Hobart. South Hobart is the oldest suburb in Hobart. We are close to the Rivulet linear park, the world heritage listed Female Factory and the famous Cascade Brewery. The city and Salamanca place is a five minute drive or a twenty five minute walk through the linear park. Salamanca Place has good restaurants, the Saturday market and lovely galleries and shops. There are also wine bars and coffee shops to relax in and watch the world go by. The newly refurbished Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery is also in the area. MONA a a twenty minute drive and Mount Wellington is just up the road. South Hobart is the ideal situation - you can get to anywhere easily! We look forward to welcoming you to our home.

Sue and Mike's house is a gem and we have moved to Hobart since staying there. Our visit helped us decide on the move - thanks! Unfortunately, COVID disrupted the reverse swap but we're happy to be somewhere that largely escaped the pandemic.

Sue and Mike were a pleasure to swap with. Our small family enjoyed staying in their lovely home, we wish it was longer as so much to see and do in Hobart. Sue and Mike also took very good care of my holiday Unit. They are great guests and I recommend to anyone considering a future swap. We hope to be able to swap again. Thank you Sue and Mike for the fantastic experience.

Thanks Sue and Mike for a lovely stay in your home. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Hobart and the chance to explore the area a little more. Yours is a very comfortable home, the view is wonderful and we will look forward to the opportunity to do it again some time soon. Jonathan and Nathalie
