Beautifully presented property in a convenient location to Bruny and Hobart. We will definitely be back. My only negative was that I couldn’t find the laundry advertised, after a few days on the road access to a washing machine would have been awesome. Apart from that it’s a great property in a beautiful location.

Very clean and well-presented property. The view was great but just be aware that there is a fairly busy road just outside the building - it's not noisy with the doors closed but it does make the view feel less serene! Perfect location for the ferry to Bruny Island. Included breakfast was simple but served by a very friendly staff member. Access to the shared lounge was great. Bed was comfortable and shower pressure was excellent!

Fabulous boutique complex with only 4 apartments. Modern spacious suite tastefully decorated with an extra comfortable bed and luxurious bathroom. Only negative for us was lack of a kitchen sink and the height that the TV was mounted ( personal preference but it reminds of hospital TV’s 😀) Jess is a great host and provided a nice Continental breakfast in the huge lounge area that has a lovely wood fire and super comfortable leather lounge. Perfect location for catching Bruny Island ferry and exploring the beautiful Tasmanian south. We will be back !!

A wonderful finale to our Tasmanian holiday

We are a couple in our late 60's who had been travelling in Tasmania for 2 and a half weeks. The Cove, Kettering was a perfect ending to our time in Tasmania. Our accommodation was wonderfully spacious, very comfortable and with a panoramic view over the marina and ferry terminal for Bruny Island. It is only 30 km south of Hobart and a great base for exploring the surrounding area which we did during our 3 night stay. The breakfast included was delicious and a great way to start a day's exploring. It is served in a separate dining area where we were able to sit out in the sun, look at the boats in the marina and feel very spoilt. Jess was very helpful and was always available either by phone or in person to answer any query. Only suggestion would perhaps be the addition in the shower of a grab rail as the floor tiles could be a bit slippery. Wonderful bathroom layout with separation of areas. We unhesitatingly recommend The Cove, Kettering
