Very convenient for the sprit of Tasmania ferry, only a 10 minute taxi ride to the rerminal.
Also only a 8 minute walk from North Gellong train station.
CHECK THE PRICR OF THE TAXI FIRST.
We paid 21.5 dollers and the gentleman who had the taxi 5 minute before us paid 33 dollars!!
The accommodation was a little dated ,but was very clean and I slept very well, a comfortable bed. ( as far as I'm concerned that is the most important part of a stay.)
The owner was a very pleasant and helpful man.
I would stay again.
