What they say about our bed and breakfast

_DSC2243_green_rosella_eating_berries

A stunning panorama of Hobart’s intricate coastline and beyond is the reward for climbing or driving to the top of Mount Nelson. You can see these marvelous views from the lookout area and the old Signal Station, now converted to a delightful café. The Signalmans Cottage Bed and Breakfast close by is a comfortable modern self-contained unit in a beautiful garden and quiet bushland setting. Wake to the sound of birds and enjoy a continental breakfast (provisions are provided). There is a barbecue for outdoor meals so you can breathe in the fresh mountain air while you eat. Or if you prefer you can prepare your meal in the microwave oven in your unit. It’s hard to believe that this delightful peaceful bed and breakfast on top of the world is only 10 minutes drive from Hobart , but that’s typical of Tasmania!
