Great location just a couple of blocks from Salmanca Saturday market and Waterfront. Hosts - John and Nicoli -- were very gracious and helpful. I particularly liked their fresh flowers in every room and the free sherry in the sitting room. They prepared great breakfasts and cappacinos. The first free wi-fi in any hotel or B&B in Australia.

Gattonside is a19C mansion in Battery Point, a heritage suburb close to Salamanca Square and Sullivans Cove. Sandy Bay and Wrest Point are in the next suburb. The house was renovated not so long ago when the Gourlays bought it and it has 8 good sized rooms. The reasonably sized bathroom had a deep spa bath and great shower. As... More

During 3 months in Australia, the Gattonside was easily the best accommodation we experienced and it is surely the best B&B in Hobart. The B&B is a remarkable historic building that is beautifully finished inside and out. It is quiet, immaculately clean and contains all the modern amenities, including Wi-Fi, which is usually an expensive commodity in Australian hotels. The... More

The Gattonside is perfectly situated to walk to the wonderful Salamanca Market on Saturday, the pubs and restaurants by the waterfront, as well as the campus of UTAS. The accommodation is beautifully decorated, and meticulously maintained. Our "bedroom" was so spacious it had sufficient seating for two people to work comfortably on computers. Oh yes, there was wifi included. The... More

Charming hosts, clean and well kept spacious property. Well placed and traffic from road negligible. This is battery point not Boat Quay. Thanks John More

We absolutely loved this B&B ! The rooms were grand with their 4 posters bed. The bathroom beautiful, the fresh cut flowers from the garden a special touch. Breakfast was lovely and the host a friendly but discreet. Location is perfect, yes close to a main road in Honart but we are talking Hobart here ! By 7 pm its... More

This was overly priced - which is a shame because it does offer some interesting things such as a sitting room and a fully cooked breakfast. The location is excellent - just minutes by foot to Battery Point and Salamanca. Be warned though - the B+B is on a main road. Overall, I would not return because of the excessive... More

Brilliant in every regard. John & Nic' have refurbished the B&B exquisitely; the combination of large rooms, high ceilings with period decoration and furnishings make you feel as if you're in a colonial residence back in the 1880's! Friendly service and super breakfasts combine to make this the ultimate in B&B's. Far and away the best B&B we stayed in... More
