After a day exploring Hobart's waterfront, browsing Salamanca Market, discovering local cafés or heading up Mount Wellington, return to a cottage designed for comfort, connection and relaxation. Enjoy multiple living areas, a private courtyard with BBQ, and an upstairs studio that adds flexibility and privacy for families and groups. With a well-equipped kitchen, off-street parking, split-system heating and cooling, and a fireplace, it's an inviting base for experiencing Hobart in every season. Showcasing timeless heritage character, this warm cottage balances classic charm with thoughtful modern comforts, creating a welcoming retreat that feels both nostalgic and comfortable. The main living area centres around a traditional wood fireplace, offering a cosy gathering space during Tasmania's cooler months. A second lounge provides another inviting setting to relax with a book, enjoy conversation or settle in for a movie night.
The kitchen's vintage-inspired character brings warmth to everyday moments, from a quiet morning tea before a day in the city to a leisurely meal shared around the dining table. As the day unfolds, the private courtyard invites a slower pace, with a covered alfresco setting made for long lunches, BBQ dinners and easy conversation.
Accommodation in the main residence includes the primary bedroom with a king bed and a private TV, alongside a second bedroom with a queen bed, a private TV, and calming styling. Two bathrooms feature walk-in showers and complimentary toiletries, while the separate laundry is equipped with a washing machine and dryer for added convenience.
The upstairs studio provides a peaceful retreat within the property, combining a queen-size bedroom, a bathroom, and its own living area with a TV and split-system air conditioning, offering extra comfort and privacy for couples, extended family members, or friends travelling together.
For year-round comfort, split-system air conditioning and heating are available in the second living area of the main house and the upstairs studio. Please note that the bedrooms do not have individual air conditioning units. Netflix is available throughout your stay. Driveway parking is available for two vehicles. During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
Nestled in the heart of South Hobart, this location offers easy access to some of Hobart's most loved cafés, casual eateries and local attractions. Start the day with coffee from Ginger Brown or enjoy brunch at Bear With Me, both within walking distance. Fitzroy Gardens is just a seven-minute walk away, providing a peaceful green space for a morning stroll or a relaxed afternoon outdoors. For those looking to experience Hobart's vibrant culture, Salamanca Market is just a six-minute drive away, where local produce, artisan goods and Tasmanian crafts await. The waterfront and Salamanca Place sit just beyond, offering acclaimed restaurants, bars, galleries and harbour views. Nature lovers can explore the walking and mountain biking trails of Mount Wellington, around a 30-minute drive away. Rising above the city, this iconic natural landmark offers everything from peaceful forest walks to breathtaking summit views, providing an unforgettable glimpse of Tasmania's natural beauty.
Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
