Gattonside is a19C mansion in Battery Point, a heritage suburb close to Salamanca Square and Sullivans Cove. Sandy Bay and Wrest Point are in the next suburb. The house was renovated not so long ago when the Gourlays bought it and it has 8 good sized rooms. The reasonably sized bathroom had a deep spa bath and great shower. As... More

During 3 months in Australia, the Gattonside was easily the best accommodation we experienced and it is surely the best B&B in Hobart. The B&B is a remarkable historic building that is beautifully finished inside and out. It is quiet, immaculately clean and contains all the modern amenities, including Wi-Fi, which is usually an expensive commodity in Australian hotels. The... More

The Gattonside is perfectly situated to walk to the wonderful Salamanca Market on Saturday, the pubs and restaurants by the waterfront, as well as the campus of UTAS. The accommodation is beautifully decorated, and meticulously maintained. Our "bedroom" was so spacious it had sufficient seating for two people to work comfortably on computers. Oh yes, there was wifi included. The... More

Charming hosts, clean and well kept spacious property. Well placed and traffic from road negligible. This is battery point not Boat Quay. Thanks John More

Breakfast was lovely and the host a friendly but discreet. Location is perfect, yes close to a main road in Honart but we are talking Hobart here ! By 7 pm its... More

This was overly priced - which is a shame because it does offer some interesting things such as a sitting room and a fully cooked breakfast. The location is excellent - just minutes by foot to Battery Point and Salamanca. Be warned though - the B+B is on a main road. Overall, I would not return because of the excessive... More

Brilliant in every regard. John & Nic' have refurbished the B&B exquisitely; the combination of large rooms, high ceilings with period decoration and furnishings make you feel as if you're in a colonial residence back in the 1880's! Friendly service and super breakfasts combine to make this the ultimate in B&B's. Far and away the best B&B we stayed in... More

We arrived early for a 3 night stay and only wanted to park to walk down to the Salamanca Markets but Nicole, host along with husband John, told us that our room was ready so we checked in. Our room! Where do I start? Huge, big high ceilings and a 4 poster bed to match, luxuriously appointed and a bathroom... More
