Facilities include; bathroom, laundry, kitchen with hotplates, microwave, toaster, sandwich maker and small fridge.

Thank you so much Patsy for your kind hospitality. Wombat place is a quiet and comfort stay we only wished we could of stayed longer. Breakfast had so many choices and Patsy kindly picked us up from the airport which we deeply appreciated as we flew in at night. Thank you so much Patsy, we very much enjoyed our stay. Hope to be back again soon one day.

So pleasant we wished we could stay longer!

We were looking for a quick, convenient stay close to the airport and transfers for our overall holiday, and man, did we hit the jackpot! Patsy and the Wombat Studio were a delightful surprise. Spotless, comfortable and peaceful, we are so disappointed we could only stay one night. Patsy was SO generous with her time and airport transfers, and the breakfast included was perfect for our needs. Definitely adding to the list next time we are in the area, for a long term stay.

Very grateful to find such a gem

From registration onwards, the experience was seamless. Patsy is a most obliging host and goes above and beyond to welcome her guests. The property is set in a semi-rural area within walking distance to some very convenient shops. Wombat Studio is immaculately clean, comfortable and quiet providing all that is needed for a very enjoyable stay. I have recommended this property to many others and will definitely return when next in Tasmania. Very grateful to have found such a gem.

A comfy studio with everything you need for relaxing break

Wombat Studio is one of the best studio apartments we have stayed in located in a quiet rural setting with a lovely and helpful host. It had everything we needed for an overnight satay at the end of our holiday but would also be a great base for exploring Hobart/Port Arthur. We would love to come back!

Perfect!

We stayed only one night, but would have gladly stayed more. It's so close to the airport, but far away (in feel) from the city - even though Hobart is close. A quiet country stay in a pristine studio. The hosts are lovely and met us upon arrival - and provisioned us for breakfast as well. One special treat was reading about Patsy's work with wildlife: inspiring and even funny at turns. Highly recommend!

The most helpful and wonderful stay!

The studio is the perfect little stay with everything you could need, including a beautiful view! However the best part is the host, Patsy, she went above and beyond in travel advice, offering to get us from the airport and being flexible when our flights changed. I can not recommend her and the wombat studio enough!

Perfect place to start or finish your tour of Tasmania.

About the host

Hosted by Patsy Davies

Host profile image
I am an animal lover and well-known carer of injured or orphaned native wildlife in Tasmania. I was employed for 14 years by the State Government as the Coordinator of the Program which placed injured and orphaned wildlife with the volunteer carer network around the state (now retired).

Whilst I love all native animals, my favourite is clearly wombats.

My involvement with, love and respect for such incredible creatures led me to call our accommodation 'The Wombat Studio'.

Why they chose this property

The Wombat Studio is part of a 5-acre property in a semi-rural area. Acton Park is considered a safe area, is an easy short drive to Hobart Airport, yet far enough away to not to be bothered by aircraft noise. The studio is located 400 metres from the main road, therefore, is a quiet and private location. Even though we are not located within the hustle and bustle of the city, Hobart is only a short 20-minute easy drive. Many southern Tasmanian tourist sites are an easy drive from the Studio, for example, the Coal Valley Wine region, Richmond Historic Township, Port Arthur Historic Site and Mount Wellington, just to name a few. The Wombat Studio is warm in winter, cool in summer with the bonus of a pleasant view over Frederick Henry Bay.
