Excellent location. Kevin the owner is super nice.
Pictures of property look a little nicer than actual property.
Property was easy to get to. Rooms are a bit dated but adds to the fun of the adventure. Kevin was a gem and super kind, fed us breakfast every morning and ensured we had a coffee or two before we took our next coffee on the go!
Kevin our hoast was fantastic
Welcoming and ready tok help
The Lowena was quiet and close to Hobart, walking distance
Breakfast was good and the coffee,Suuuuperb
An older property, but charming
If you want modern ,and the Price go Double Tree
Thanks Kevin
Full breakfast included was a bonus. Kevin is a friendly and helpful host. My room was at the front of the property so traffic noise was an issue for me. Very comfortable bed and crisp linens. Easy walk into town from this quirky and historic accommodation
I stayed in the self contained cottage. Lowena was in walking distance of every where I needed to go (Salamanca to South Hobart). Kevin is a welcoming host. The accommodation came with breakfast, shared at a big table with other guests. Great value.
Kevin was a very friendly and courteous host. Great value for the price, and breakfast was delicious. It was cool to meet the other guests too, I had a good time.

Kevin is a fabulous host. Sitting around the cafe table in the morning with the other guests and Kevin and his breakfast was a highlight. The room is a very good size. It had everything we needed. Yes its old snd quite imperfect, but has charm. We enjoyed our stay. Try the Japanse Restraunt just around the corner, unbelievable good value.

The breakfast was excellent and the owner very flexible willing to provide it early. The facilities are well kept except missing some details like towel racks in the shared bathroom. The towels themselves need to be upgraded. Overall It’s still good value for the money.

Kevin is a wonderful host who makes a delightful breakfast. The rooms themselves are a good size however do smell a bit musty and the carpets have some stains. The bathroom facilities were good. The parking situation and the outside of the house are unkempt and look a little unsafe. The location is fantastic, literally up the road from the CBD so you can walk to local eateries for dinner.
Kevin was the best host. He personally cooked us breakfast and you could see that he genuinely loved what he was doing. I really enjoyed my stay with him. Very thoughtful man! Would definitely stay here again if i came back.
