Fantastic host who couldn't have been more accommodating. The attention to detail was second to none with everything being spotlessly clean. The beds were comfy, the shower was amazing, the basic pantry items were provided. We could not fault this stay and wished we had stayed longer.

this place was so adorable and so fully equipped too bad. We were only there for a quick stay over for an early flight to New Zealand. Patsy was so wonderful and warm. The view from her place was great. And picking us up and bringing us to the airport was a huge plus. Fantastic. !!!!!

Excellent host-effective communicator, friendly & welcoming, generous. The Wombat Studio was perfect for what we needed- a stopover before a flight home. As it turned out this accommodation is more - a beautiful location, expansive views to the coast, peaceful surrounds, immaculately clean and so very well equiped and stocked for our stay. Thank you so very much Patsy.

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!

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!

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.

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.
