The main bathroom, with shower and deep bath is supplemented by a second toilet and laundry area.

Steve is an excellent host in every way. Everything we needed had been thoughtfully provided. The place was immaculate, cosy, comfortable, better than the photos. We loved the garden, the quiet, the bike access to the city, the wood fire - in short - everything. This is the perfect place for a Hobart stay. We will be back. Thanks so much Steve.

Autumn getaway

Lynmouth is a well appointed and comfortable cottage. It’s located about 10 mins from the CBD, and was a great base for our day trips. I recommend this place if you don’t want to stay in the CBD.

Perfectly cosy home away from home

Great location not too far from everything we want to visit in Hobart and surrounds. Very comfortable cosy bedrooms, gorgeous garden and well appointed kitchen for self catering. Little bbq on deck perfect for our needs. So relaxing after dinner to enjoy and card game and a wine in the lounge by the fire. Can’t wait to return again.

Our stay at Lynmouth Cottage

We had a lovely stay at Lynmouth Cottage. An immaculately presented and comfortable home away from home - thoughtful touches and attention to detail made for a really enjoyable stay. The cottage is within 5 minutes walking distance of a major shopping centre and 2 minutes to a service station. Thank you Steve for your hospitality, we would love to stay again!

Visit to Tasmania

One of our group was a first time visitor to Tasmania and celebrating a significant birthday. We found Lymouth cottage cosy and like home as advertised. Very clean and well appointed with comfy furniture and all our kitchen, bathroom and laundry needs as well as herbs and vegies to add to our home cooking. Would love to stay again and happy to recommend. Also in a quiet location yet good easy access for all our needs.

So special

From the moment we entered Lynmouth Cottage we were enthralled. There was such a welcoming energy throughout this beautifully renovated cottage and we felt instantly at home. We returned home with so many wonderful memories of our stay…picnic teas on the grass, breakfast chats on the back verandah with views to the mountains, reading on the window seat at the front of the house. Highly recommended. Our perfect home away from home.

Winter solstice

We had a terrific mid-winter visit to Hobart. The house was easy to heat, with electric blankets on the bed for chilly nights. The location was great; easy access to the national parks on this side of Hobart, Mona, and only a few minutes drive into Salamanker markets and the Quay. Would definitely return.

Delightful

Lynmouth is a delightful cottage, and a perfect place from which to explore Hobart. The house is gorgeous, not only beautifully renovated, but also set up with real attention to detail - all the practical stuff is well though out - well kitted out kitchen, plenty of fluffy towels etc, but the little extras like flowers on the mantle pieces made it truly feel like a home away from home. We definitely hope to be back.

Stunning home

Our stay was wonderful, such a beautiful home, gorgeous furnishings and furniture. Well planned out as temporary accommodation, lots of power boards with USB outlets, lovely modern x classic decorating. The fire place, huge and so much firewood available with lots of heating options in every room. Linen was great quality. The balcony was such a lovely spot to watch the world go by, see the clouds move through the mountains with views from all kitchen windows. The garden was just stunning and a great space for our 4 & 5 year old’s to explore and play safely. We were so comfortable and it made our 8 day stay so much smoother with two kids who find change very difficult, it was more than roomy enough to spend the week there with few outings, but also so close to everything to do the touristy things. The shops were an easy ten minute walk away. Close drive to MONA and Hobart CBD/Salamanca Markets only ten minutes in the car. We would absolutely recommend this home for others.

About the host

Hosted by Steve

Host profile image
I grew up in Tasmania, having moved here from South Africa when I was a young child. I still love living here and exploring all the wild places with my family. Our favourite places are the Tasman and Freycinet Peninsulas and Flinders and Maria Islands, and every where in between.

Why they chose this property

We chose New Town to be near Cornelian Bay and the cycleway into Hobart. Being close to the river, yet also close to cafes, restaurants, cinemas, and our families, is precious to us. We think others will enjoy this area too, with its wildlife, heritage homes, and proximity to everything.

What makes this property unique

Lynmouth Cottage is set up as a home away from home, where you can cook, relax, and share time with friends and family. It is centrally located and provides a great launch pad from which to explore this beautiful island. It has a lovely feel, perhaps because of the sunshine that pours in, or the colourful garden, or the history that is evident the moment you walk through the front door.
