Perfect space for a family holiday with 18

This property was chosen in order to spend a week with family to celebrate a significant birthday. There was plenty of space to relax and a great decked area at the rear that had views of the city and Mt Wellington. Kitchen was well provisioned allowing the private caterer that we arranged to prepare a serve a 4 course lunch without difficulty. Within easy walking distance of Salamanca Place but be aware it is a steep walk back.

About the host

Hosted by Phillip Ellis Wells

Host profile image
I’m happiest when I’m in the water. I have been a Master swimmer for many years and hold a number of State records. I surf most days and scuba dive on a regular basis.
While I am now retired I remain passionate about education and help out the local school where I now live. I have held a number of teaching positions overseas and for the last 15 years of my career held the role of Headmaster/Principal. My last position was running a community school on the Falkland Islands.
I started my working life completing a building apprenticeship. The skills learnt during this period have been invaluable in renovating houses. The house at Glebe was purchased approximately 20 years ago in a semi derelict state. The renovation of the house has been completed by me in a number of stages as time permitted. At the time of purchase Glebe was a forgotten or unknown suburb of Hobart but over the years due to it close walking proximity to Hobart it has become highly desirable.
Prior to leaving for the Falkland Islands I decided to airbnb the Ellis Cottage, Glebe. This has now turned into my retirement job and I love nothing more than proving a beautiful home for guests to relax and enjoy.

Why they chose this property

I was born in Hobart, Tasmania and despite spending many years overseas love this beautiful State of Australia. While studying Design at University I developed a love for period architecture and a passion for renovating. The suburb of Glebe, sitting on the edge of the Hobart CBD, and importantly located within walking distance to the Hobart Aquatic Centre was the perfect location to purchase a period cottage. Walking access to so many amenities and services makes Glebe a wonderfully convenient place to stay. I am confident you will agree.

What makes this property unique

Glebe sleeps 8 people in comfort with high quality beds and linen.
Is located within easy walking distance to everything Hobart has to offer.
Is quiet and peaceful.
Has stunning views of the mountain and city scape.
Has a 7 year experienced Superhost who makes every effort to ensure your stay is a wonderful and positive experience.
