Set walking distance from downtown Hobart, Altamont House is set on the ground level of a 2 story, sandstone historic home in a picturesque part of Tasmania's capital city. Sean and Beck have created a luxury experience akin to the best boutique hotels on the mainland or anywhere in the world. Two indulgently large bedrooms are separated by a 5 star, contemporary bathroom, where no expense has been spared. The bathtub and giant shower are guilty pleasures and the marriage of modern white walls, with the exposed sandstone, put suburban cliched feature walls to shame. Not completely self contained, continental breakfast is provided, showcasing some of Tasmania's finest produce. A sheer delight and the perfect welcoming start to our Tasmanian adventure. A giant flatscreen TV, an accompanying Playstation 3 and a fireplace complete an experience which quickly felt like a home away from home.

Approximate cost: $180
