About the host
Hosted by Lara
I fell in love with Hobart when I came here recently and stayed in Sandy Bay. I now call it home.
Why they chose this property
Located in the sought-after suburb of Sandy Bay, the property offers a convenient and relaxed base close to Hobart’s city centre. The area is known for its leafy streets, cafés, restaurants, and easy access to the waterfront. Guests are just minutes from the University of Tasmania, popular beaches, scenic coastal walks, and public transport, making it easy to explore Hobart, Salamanca, Battery Point, and beyond. Sandy Bay combines a peaceful residential feel with excellent proximity to shops, dining, and local attractions, making it an ideal location for both short and longer stays.
What makes this property unique
Gorgeous, renovated duplex in heart of Sandy Bay. Salamanca, city, beach, restaurants, shops all within a short walk. Originally constructed in 1930s the character of the era has been maintained with the solid brick home enjoying high ceilings, gorgeous timber work and wooden floors.
This duplex offers 1 bedroom, sunny dining, a lovely living room and an updated industrial-style kitchen and bathroom.
