December Manager Blog

Wow! The months are just getting better and better. I don’t know if it’s the weather, the guests, the amazing adventures from helicopters rides, mountain treks and abseiling, the snow falling outside, the wild Melbourne cup hat party or the deep sea fishing. Islington is proving to be the place for all your occasions. Its been the month of private parties where the hotel has been fully booked by individual groups. Each time the guest’s reasons for staying were different. We had a private corporate retreat weekend, a judges conference, pre Christmas thank you party and one that I cant mention because of confidentiality reasons!. All stays resulted in the same outcome, very very happy guest. So from Myself, Amy, Daniel and Annie we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being such wonderful guests and bringing the house alive!!.

December finally arrived. What am I talking about? Its came far too soon. However I love this month, perhaps it because I love presents. Christmas at Islington for us is still about family and traditions and we still have a few rooms available and always a place at the table for our Christmas feast, so if you want to escape your own family or want to be apart of another We would love to have you join us.

I’m always looking ahead and we already have bookings up to November 2008. Scary I know!

Hobart is a small place and with events, a conference taking up so much accommodation it’s some really is hard to find a bed. So if you need an excuse for a trip in 2007 there is so much coming up Including the Sydney to Hobart, The Biannual Art Exhibition - 10 days on The Island oh and most importantly Islington turns 160 years old and we are celebrating all year long!! Oh yes, I nearly forgot regarding the award for best luxury hotel. Islington did not manage to win the award went to Lillianfels in the Blue Mountains. Surprised I hear you say well we were so happy to be nominated so early in our new life, we do look forward to next year so thank for your votes we so appreciated it.

I will post some photos soon of the house with the wonderful decorations being put up for Christmas ( as I write!) and I am sure you are all wanting to get the look ….just Islington.

Be Safe and Very Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!
