Merrebe’s

While the cooking facilities are limited to basics such as a refrigerator and a microwave oven, plus tea and coffee-making tools, dishes, utensils and cookware, you certainly have a comfortable stay here. There is a television with a DVD player, air conditioning and heating, a hair dryer, free toiletries in the bathroom, an iron and ironing board, housekeeping on a daily basis and the non-smoking and pet-free property has a front desk that is open from two in the afternoon until half past ten in the evening. Parking is available for no extra cost, as is wireless internet and Merre Be’s is family-friendly, so feel free to bring the kids. Outdoors, guests are free to make use of the garden, terrace and picnic area with its barbecue set.

Naturally, the location in the business area makes it an ideal stay if it is your work which brings you to Hobart. As far as other attractions go, the famous Wrest Point Casino and Salamanca Market are each less than twenty minutes away on foot, while a drive of about twenty minutes can take you to the intriguing Tasmanian Transport Museum Station – not actually part of a passenger network any more but a journey into times past with its collection of locomotives and rolling stock. Other must-see places include Brooke Street Pier, the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens and, especially if you have children in tow, check out Hobart Aquatic Centre.
