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!

Great views to the city
This house is very nice and in good location short drive to the cbd area. The roof top is great and we could see the fire works from there on the New Year’s Eve. I recommend it.

Relaxing & practical
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!
