I traveled with my elderly Mum and could not fault this absolutely beautiful B&B , Nina our host was exceptional, friendly, hospitable and could not do enough for us. The rooms and whole house are so beautiful, comfortable and clean. Nina bakes her own breads , pastries and Bircher muesli aswell as fresh fruit juices and hot homemade breakfasts are also available. Getting to Hobart CBD is so easy to get into the City. I totally recommend Orana House to anyone travelling to Tasmania, it’s elegant, peaceful, clean and genuinely beautiful, Thankyou Nina , we will definitely be back! 😘😘😘

Continental Breakfast included and very tasty with a sample of Nina's home baking available every morning. Lovely setting with garden views of Tasman Bridge and Mount Wellington. House is of historical significance and decorated and furnished accordingly - dark coloured wood sets the ambience - but house and rooms have enough modern features to make stay comfortable. Our bathroom was bright and well appointed - all working fine. One day we took the 695 bus from the main road around the corner into central Hobart - took only 15 minutes crossing the Tasman Bridge - same coming back. Saved having to find / pay for parking in Hobart. Bar / restaurant on main road is 5 minutes walk - serves good meals, reasonably priced and has a big front window overlooking the bay.

This is a heritage home with plenty of the gracious old world charm only seven to ten minutes drive from Hobart CBD. I believe there is two classes of rooms all with ensuites, but no refrigerator in the room I had. However, there is one available in the dining room. Nina provides an excellent continental style breakfast, as well as a cooked one at extra expense. In addition it is worth noting that she cooks her own bread and other delicacies as part of the breakfast. She went out of her way to provide gluten free bread. Onsite parking

The breakfast was excellent. There was a selection of white and sourdough home baked breads, carrot cakes, Porridge, toast with several spreads, cereals, yoghurt, fresh fruits, and a cooked breakfast of poached eggs and avocado. The room was large and luxuriously furnished. We had a spa bath suite, which was fantastic after a long journey by boat and road. There were beautiful common areas, including a dining room, loungeroom, veranda and huge garden. There was a lovely view of the harbour, Derwent Bridge and Mount Wellington. We walked around the harbour and watched the sailing boats and rowing teams. It is a beautiful location. But best of all, the staff were wonderful, friendly and so helpful.

We had a wonderful stay at this charming heritage house full of character. Our room was quiet and spacious, with a comfortable bed and plenty of storage space for our belongings. We enjoyed a lovely view of the beautiful garden. The host, Nina, was extremely welcoming and personally greeted us, explaining all the house rules in detail. The location was very convenient, with a quick drive to the centre of Hobart. There was also ample parking available for the guests.

Hospitality was fantastic as always, breakfast has so many great options included as well as a nice range of extended cooked breakfast available as well. The fresh baked bread and pastry’s are delicious. Not to mention the delicious home baked cookies available at check in. Nina is always so welcoming (this is our 3rd stay!) such a beautiful historic building tastefully decorated with warm and cozy period furniture with spectacular gardens.

The Continental breakfast was very good, the cooked breakfasts were excellent. Nina was a wonderful cook and so gracious. I have gluten intolerance and she baked breakfast muffins that were suitable for me. Every morning with a Continental or cooked breakfast Nina cooked something different for all guests. Orana House and Gardens is a lovely period house built on a hill that looks over the Derwent River and the rooms are sympathetically furnished. Thank you Nina and Chad for making our 6 night stay enjoyable.

Nina was an exceptional host and the location was convenient to Hobart and beyond. The property itself was a gorgeous building that was oozing with history, which you could learn more about just by reading the welcome pack or exploring photos on the wall.

It took me back in time with awesome history & photos of the house & previous owners! Nina was exceptional and was always very friendly & made sure I was comfortable. The breakfast always had homemade bread & homemade treats like carrot cake etc a good variety of food!! The smell of the bread cooking just made the feel even more homely! I loved the homemade Anzac biscuits in the reception area, they were the best I’ve had! Thank you Nina xxxx
