Wonderful stay in beautiful surroundings and superb heritage accommodation. Breakfast was an unexpected surprise with Continental European style food which was second to none. Definitely a must stay in Hobart and we will be back for sure. Love the complimentary port and chocolate. That really capped off a wonderful evening.

The Rivulet was a beautiful property with all the amenities for a short stay in Hobart. We loved how close it was to battery point and the Salamanca market. Though we drove we loved taking cheap Ubers to dinner at de Angelo and to the Salamanca market in the morning (which the staff were kind to let us stay parked through though we had already checked out). The Ubers saved what we thought might be difficult weekend parking in town. The breakfast in the am was also delicious with kind service and nice conversation with the other guests. And the cherry on top were the cozy robes provided! We would definitely stay again!

Sadly Disappointed

Easy check-in. Seems to have changed staff or owner, as standards have slipped. After a full day and evening out, we returned to find lights and heater off (as we left it in the morning to conserve energy). Bedding unchanged, cups unwashed, everything much as we left it. This is the first time this has happened during our previous stays. We were not aware room service was not available after first night. Breakfast cloth placemats and serviettes on both mornings were placed neatly in cabinet drawers after people had used them, leading me to question whether they were being washed between use. Breakfast staff efficient at cleaning up to the point you are made to feel hurried while dining, the small plates removed when you intend to get something else (bare minimum plates are put out). Such a shame as this is a beautiful accommodation, in a convenient location and we have always enjoyed our stays in the past.

Very well presented room, spacious with huge bathroom including a bath and some goodies offered. Only reason not 5 stars is because housekeeping missed areas of dust and a few other things not quite right with the room, ie light switch broken, noisy bathroom fan and one electric blanket control did not work. Very nice breakfast, but we are not fans of 'en famille' dining.
