This was such a beautiful old property in amazing condition. Lovely furnished bedrooms, lovely breakfast in a beautiful dining room and extra touches such as chocolate and port in the evening. Close to some great restaurants and Wrest point Casino
The Rivulet is a beautiful property right across from the harbor, The rooms and common areas are beautifully decorated and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious!
Our room on the 2nd floor was great, very clean and comfortable. The building itself is heritage and as you enter it there’s a distinct musty smell. We didn’t have this problem in our room, but our windows were completely fogged every morning. Breakfast was good. Overall, a pleasant experience.
This is one of the best places we’ve stayed in. We weren’t in the main house but were in the Watarah Cottage at the back of the back of the property. This building was free standing so was incredibly quiet. The kitchen was really well equipped, the bed was very comfortable and there was a whole separate dressing room to store luggage and other stuff. The breakfast in the main house was great…excellent service from Kathy!
I highly recommend this place and would stay again if in Hobart.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Rivulet, Sandy Bay. Within walking distance to a variety of restaurants and close enough to drive to Battery Point and Salamanca. The Corinna room and bathroom are beautifully designed and furnished. The continental breakfast was sensational!
Surpassed our expectations. Fine details made a huge difference eg port available in dining room, makeup remover flannel in bathroom, etc. will definitely stay again. Thank you
A stunning property with an excellent breakfast selection for a continental breakfast. I would definitely stay here again. The room was very spacious and there were a few special touches I have not seen elsewhere.
Property owner is so easy to deal with. Property is awesome, clean, comfortable, convenient location for needs, breakfast was amazing, and everything was perfect.
Wonderful stay in beautiful surroundings and superb heritage accommodation. Breakfast was an unexpected surprise with Continental European style food which was second to none. Definitely a must stay in Hobart and we will be back for sure. Love the complimentary port and chocolate. That really capped off a wonderful evening.
