Our stay
Overall was good. Janina was just lovely and accommodating. She provided tea, coffee, milk, biscuits etc. Everything supplied and bed was comfortable. You would assume the photo shown in the advertisement was the view from the accommodation. However it's the view from the house in front so we found this a little disappointing. Overall not overly roomy but as I said everything supplied.

Janina and Gary are warm and welcoming hosts who have put so much thought into making their guests feel very much at home. The flat is fantastic and very comfortable, surrounded by a beautiful garden. The area is close to the beach and supermarkets and eateries. Views are amazing. City is close by and with a car there are so many daytrips possible. Our hosts were very helpful with great suggestions on places to visit and best ways to enjoy this lovely city.

A lovely garden apartment
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Sandy Bay. It was within easy reach of Hobart CBD, local restaurants and great shopping. Janina and Gary are thoughtful, friendly and considerate hosts and helped us feel right at home. The garden is a jewel, full of color and beautiful plants and the apartment very comfortable. We hope to return on our next visit to Hobart.

Delightful!
Beautiful location, we were well looked after, arriving late (8.30pm instead of 4 as flight was delayed) in gale winds, Janina gifted us eggs and bacon to cook up for our evening meal, which was soo appreciated! Garden and views were special, and accomodation was neat and clean with all amenities provided. Janina and Gary were lovely souls who kept us up to date with local events and places to eat/visit. Highly recommend staying here xx

Respite at Sonningview
After a difficult check-in process due to our phone malfunctioning, we arrived at Sonningview without having completed our registration. Janina and Gary patiently and kindly helped us work things out with VRBO so that we could stay in their lovely apartment at Sonningview. Every detail is attended to, with little thoughtful extras like cookies, delicious bread, butter and jams and lovely lemons, tomatoes, and apples from the garden. We enjoyed having time with Janina and Gary in their round room, Frank Lloyd Wright style with a magnificent view of the bay and Hobart's hillside dwellings at Sandy Bay. Gary and Janina are warm and generous hosts and we enjoyed lively conversation and great suggestions of things to see and where to have high tea for my birthday. Our stay at Sonningview was a highlight of our trip to Tasmania, and we would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a lovely place to stay in Hobart. Thank you, Janina and Gary, for everything!
