Celebrating 25 years of @islandespresso171 🎊

@islandespresso171 in the heart of @midtownhobart, marked 25 years in business yesterday. It sits between Hobart’s waterfront and North Hobart, a go-to spot loved by many. We spoke with them about the years behind the counter, the people they’ve served, and what keeps them going.

Read the full story - link in bio.

@lennaofhobart is both home to boutique accommodation and delicious @houseoflennagin and @batterypointdistillery - brewing up award winning whisky and gin, all from a space that looks like a Hobbit’s den.

The original gin recipe developed by Mrs Lark, (an award winning gin distiller) passed it down to her son Jack, and is now in the hands of ex rodeo turned distiller - the wonderful Luke!

We went along to for a tour (bookable via their website!) and highly recommend this experience for both locals and visitors. Go for a tour, and stay for a tipple on the terrace overlooking the gardens. The Chandelier bar is open every day from 10am to late.

Check out the House of Lenna website for more info or to book a tour see link in our bio.
