Avaliações do The Corinda Collection

The most amazing and unforgettable experience! I stayed in their Gardener’s cottage for 4 nights. It was such an amazing experience, felt like jumped into a time portal. The garden looked spectacular, especially in the morning. Waking up with the sound of birds and garden view was a privilege. 5 mins walking distance to the CBD and waterfront, and you will also pass the rose garden and the heritage government house! Thanks for making my trip so special, Corinda will definitely be my continued pied a terra in Tassie. Read less

I spent a couple of days in the Gardener's Cottage at Corinda and found it to be perfectly delightful! The history of the property was lovely and it was rustic and quaint while providing everything I needed, included a kitchen (with a coffee machine) and (hidden) laundry facilities. While the cottage is small (just for 2), the detailing is gorgeous and it felt like coming home at the end of a busy day sightseeing rather than a cookie cutter hotel room! As a separate structure to the main house it was quiet and private with a dedicated parking space behind decorative iron gates. The private courtyard was lovely for a morning coffee and the rose-filled private walk to the front door made it feel really special. I'd definitely stay again. Note: This is not a "5 star" hotel in that if you like super modern, spacious rooms where everything is new it is probably not your thing. The floorboards creak and it is built for a time when people were smaller but if your heart skips a beat when you see a cottage garden, solid timberwork and the soft patination that comes with age and wear you will do a happy dance. Bonus - the main house is available to hang out in and can serve breakfast and there is a fantastic view across Hobart from the upstairs verandah there. It is not as centrally located as some might like as it is out of the "city" in the residential hilltop pocket of Glebe but if you are active it is a perfectly nice 20 min walk to Salamanca.

We had a fantastic stay in the Coach House at The Corinda Collection in Hobart! The place was so quaint – with beautifully maintained grounds that made for a charming and peaceful retreat. The breakfasts were an absolute delight – delicious and beautifully presented – and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel right at home. The location was also perfect. It’s an amazing vantage point for the NYE fireworks, and everything is within walking distance – just 20 minutes down to town and the wharf in one direction, and to the Botanical Gardens in the other. A quick heads-up for tall travellers: my husband is just over 6ft, and he had to duck under all the doorways. The couches and dining tables were also a bit on the smaller side for him. It’s definitely worth keeping in mind if you’re travelling with a tall companion. Still, this didn’t take away from the overall experience. It’s such a special place to stay – with so much character, warmth, and convenience. Highly recommend – just maybe not for giants!

  The house is well renovated with attention to detail. We stayed in the Coach House, which is self-contained accommodation with a kitchen. We didn’t use the kitchen though, except for making tea or coffee. We took breakfast on the veranda in the main house.   The Coach House supposedly sleeps four. We were luckily only 2 people, so we could use the free bedroom for our luggage. Otherwise, it would have been a bit of a squeeze. There were most things in the accommodation to make our stay comfortable. One side faced out to the street. Thus one bedroom was rather noisy. We chose the bedroom facing the house and garden. The bed was rather short and worn out and the lighting was rather impractical in some places. We had to leave lights on for nightly visits to the bathroom. Several taps dripped and were almost impossible to turn off completely. Things here and there needed to be replaced, maintained or the practicality of them revised.   The location was great. We enjoy walking, so the 10 – 15 minute walk into town was no trouble. Yet it could be steep for others..   The house and gardens are a popular venue for weddings etc. Thus it tended to get busy on the weekends with additional guests.

The Corinda Collection is centred on a magnificent colonial mansion, graciously and sympathetically restored and updated where necessary. Surrounded by stunning gardens it occupies a prime position in Hobart, a short stroll to the city centre and the Elizabeth Street restaurant strip. The decor is beautiful and you truly feel transported in time. We stayed in the coach house, a two story structure next to the main entrance. It featured a wood heater, a small but well equipped kitchen , a nice living & dining area and two upstairs bedrooms. Therein lies the limitation— the bathroom is down the quite steep and poorly lit staircase, making nighttime visits for the elderly ( like us) or those with mobility restrictions a bit perilous. The bed in the second bedroom is also short— at 187 cm my feet dangled over the end. Breakfast on the sun filled verandah was nice
