Home away from home

Nestled in Sandy Bay, this fully renovated one-bedroom duplex pairs the charm of its 1930s heritage with modern style and comfort. The light-filled dining area offers views of Mount Wellington and is the perfect place to enjoy a meal, while the cozy living room—with its inviting fireplace—provides a warm space to unwind. An industrial-inspired kitchen is equipped for effortless cooking at home, and the contemporary bathroom features a newly renovated dual-head shower and quality finishes. Guests are also welcome to enjoy the shared garden, an ideal spot for a peaceful morning coffee or for relaxing after a day exploring Hobart. Blending character, comfort, and a central location, this stylish retreat makes an excellent base for discovering all that Hobart has to offer. Walk to Salamanca, Hobart city, Wrest Casino & the beach.

Please note that there are steps leading up to the front door and the entrance and car park is off Flinders Lane not Sandy Bay Rd.
