Amazing place and outstanding service. The place is beautiful: elegant colonial building and the beautifully furnished rooms. We spent 4 nights at the spacious regatta suite. Breakfast was excellent and Denise was very kind - it was nice to dine together with the other guests and chat.
The only downsides are that the place is located on a busy road across from a gas station. Yet, once you are inside you cannot hear that.

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!

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.

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.
