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!

Beautiful house with touch of luxury
We had planned to stay 3 nights at the Rivulet, loved it so much we stayed 6 nights. This place is comfort and luxury. The old house has been renovated with taste and you feel so welcomed.The port offered il the lounge was a nice touch as well as the guest scullery with tea, coffee and wine. The breakfast buffet was plentiful, specially loved the French quiche. And the friendliness and professionalism of all the staff are remarkable.

Absolutely stunning property. The room are great and bathroom very spacious and modern. The garden is to die for. The dining room is amazing (and their breakfast too). The staff is very responsive and very nice. Easy parking spot on property. Very close from the main place by (5 min) or walk (30 min). Worth every $ - Highly recommend!!!

A beautifully restored classic building. Totally gutted and relined and the resume is just beautiful. The lady quietly attending to the needs of lodgers over breakfast was very amiable.

Excellent stay in Hobart
We just spent 3 nights at The Rivulet. A beautiful property. Very comfortable rooms. Easy access as we had a hire car. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The young lady who looked after us at breakfast was just lovely and gave us excellent service. Credit to your establishment. We have no hesitation in recommending The Rivulet to other travellers to Hobart.

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.

Nicely converted old home, ALMOST excellent.
It was a good stay, in a converted fine old Sandy Bay homestead. Despite being right on the very busy Sandy Bay Road right opposite the Casino, it was very quiet — the windows must have been double-glazed. The mattress on the bed was comfortable but it was too short for two tall people. Though mention was made to the balcony, the room/front door key would not open the balcony door so it was impossible to access. The whole property had been very tastefully converted as a b&b, and fittings were all modern and in good condition. A criticism was the lack of milk in the room, having to negotiate steep stairs from the Guest Scullery with a jug of milk was fraught.Even though the property is remotely managed, breakfast was very good. It was that rarity in Australia, not just cereal and toast but a "proper" Continental breakfast with fruit etc and cold meats/smoked salmon as well as toast and croissants. To be fully authentic it lacked only boiled eggs. The young woman in charge of it was quietly attentive and everything was very well presented. A good start to the day.

Very comfortable, pretty quiet, excellent breakfast included with very amenable service. An evening glass of port put the icing on the cake. Little to fault it except on the expensive side.

Quality selection of cold meats, cheeses, pastries, artisan bread, yoghurts, fruits, muesli, etc fo4 breakfast, along with choice of tea or coffee pots served for each couple/person. Spoilt for choice. Well done to staff who create a welcoming and inviting experience.

Lovely touches in keeping with the building's period. Easy check in, although no staff around. Instructions for same easy to follow. Only about a 1km walk to supermarket. Park and waters edge, a short walk around the corner. Lovely continental , breakfast. Cygnet room had a bit of noise from room above, and running water, and it is next to the front door, so some noise to be expected. Comfy bed. Lovely spacious room. Very modern bathroom and reasonably sized. Only things missing was body lotion, and cotton buds. Not a big deal, but little things that add that small welcoming feel. Forgot to find out the name of the young man who looked after us at breakfast, but his friendly smile and helpful attitude was a lovely start to the day.

The Rivulet was very convenient for our first night's stay in Tasmania. We were headed to the West Coast and the hotel provided a comfortable night and a welcoming breakfast for us the next morning. We would definitely stay there again when in Hobart.
