The property was an ideal place to spend Christmas. It was luxurious and we had plenty of privacy to enjoy a meal in the lovely walled garden.

Welcoming, great design, great location, excellent information for tourists

Excellent location, wonderful and stylish design with a great feel throughout. Especially loved the bathroom and sitting on the front balcony. The perfect base for us.

Rebecca's place was wonderful! Very clean with lovely features. We enjoyed reading under the open roof. It's in a great location in Hobart. I highly recommend this place!

Perfect accomodation and gracious hosts

One of the nicest places I've stayed

Great little oasis in the city

• Great location, great layout, tastefully decorated

• The apartment is absolutely sumptuous in its fittings and design

• A very enjoyable place to stay, full of character and history

• Excellent location with a great view of Sandy Bay

• Very close to central Hobart and Salamanca

From the moment we arrived every small detail was kindly thought of and sorted on our behalf. Bec provided not only a cot for our little boy - but a box of toys, a highchair and even was able to rustle up a lovely and responsible young girl to babysit for us one night. The apartments are architecturally interesting, immaculate and luxurious - from the plush bed to the Victoria & Albert soaking tub and underfloor heating. A beautiful combination of old and new. Perfect location - within walking distance to everything - became our little home away from home for a week and made travelling with a baby totally easy.

One of the more interesting families to live at Bishopscourt was the Montgomery family. The house changed considerably during a major building phase in 1889 in preparation for the arrival of a new bishop, Bishop Montgomery, and his family at the height of the British Empire.

One of the children, Bernard Montgomery (Monty), went in to become a noted British Commander and hero, but his early years in Tasmania are not so well known.

Superbe chambre ! Avec un toit ouvrant, qui a son petit Charme (a ne pas ouvrir en temps de pluie!!). L’espace est bien, la salle de bain est super. L’emplacement est très bien.

Rebecca’s hideaway accommodation was amazing. Place was exceptionally clean and the experience of sleeping under the stars was wonderful. Even though we didn’t meet, communication was easy with her and our check-in was fuss-free. Highly recommended!

• Stunning, historic site, gracious and lovely host!
• Everything was fantastic. Like everything. Beautifully kept and spacious rooms, luxurious bathrooms, lovely views over immaculate garden to the harbour and so so close to everything Hobart has to offer. This was our second trip where we stayed at Bishop's and we will definitely always try to stay here.
• Nothing could have possibly been better.
