Slice of heaven in Hobart
Derwent Vista was above and beyond our expectations and a perfect base for our Hobart holiday. Extremely well stocked, conveniently located and with an unrivalled beauty and view. Everyone in our group was incredibly satisfied with their stay and I have already recommended this property to several family members and friends. Can't wait to come back down!

Lovely views
The views are breathtaking. The property is ideal for multiple adults like our group, and although the property is older it is very comfortable.
