Beautiful house, large and stylishly appointed bedrooms and bathrooms, plus a sitting room that seemed to be free whenever we needed it (with free port and chocolates, and games), superb fully-cooked breakfasts in a stunning dining room. Lovely gardens and heritage-protected trees. Quiet rooms with thick, thick walls. Beds oh so comfy and bathrooms with 'massage' bathtub. All within walking... More

A lovely heritage listed house, walking distance to CBD and Salamanca. Our room was very large and comfortable. The 4 poster bed very comfortable. Gattonside is not someones home, like other b&bs we've stayed in it's unmanned after 5pm, which is ok, but not as personal as being in a b&b home. Our room was serviced even after just one... More

This is a very fine Bed and Breakfast that is well-appointed and ideally located in Hobart. The rooms were very comfortable and the breakfasts were outstanding. We would highly recommend a stay at the Gattonside.

Within 30 mins after booking through their official website, I had a call from the property to confirm my booking and the arrival time. We arrived after 2 pm on Saturday which is after office hours but had no problem getting into the properties as they sent email with instruction prior to our arrival. Also, a complimentary fresh brew coffee,... More

Magnificent! Beautiful historic home with attention to every little detail. Easy walking distance to everything in Battery Point, so it's great to leave the car behind. Complimentary port, coffee, fudge and even yummy Easter Eggs! Thanks Lil. You were wonderful at what you do :)

A lovely old house in a great location that is very central. The staff were incredibly friendly and useful - as good as it gets.

Gattonside is centrally located, close to downtown and the market. Rooms are a little small. It is a historic house and that is to be expected There is no wi-fi. However, the breakfast is great.
