Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Rivulet, Sandy Bay. Within walking distance to a variety of restaurants and close enough to drive to Battery Point and Salamanca. The Corinna room and bathroom are beautifully designed and furnished. The continental breakfast was sensational!

Wonderful stay in beautiful surroundings and superb heritage accommodation. Breakfast was an unexpected surprise with Continental European style food which was second to none. Definitely a must stay in Hobart and we will be back for sure. Love the complimentary port and chocolate. That really capped off a wonderful evening.

We did not spend long enough here! Lovely room, wonderful breakfast, really helpful manager and staff. You can stay nearer to town or Battery Point but this is super reasonable and well worth the extra nice walk

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.
