Bay View Villas

Hobart


A few kilometres up the steep West Hobart slopes from the city, this family-focused option offers a games room and an indoor pool (follow the scent of chlorine from reception). There's a rank of tarted-up motel-style units out the front, and 12 stylish apartments behind with magical river views.
