Relax in the large, cosy lounge – a space designed for unwinding, watching TV, or simply enjoying time with friends and family. If you're on a working holiday, a dedicated workspace is also available to keep you productive while enjoying your getaway.

The kitchen has been freshly renovated and is fully equipped with all the modern features you may need, including an induction cooktop, Nespresso machine, and stainless steel appliances.

Step outside into a secure, fully-fenced backyard that’s perfect for enjoying the outdoors. The area includes an outdoor laundry, BBQ and dining setting. There’s also plenty of space to park your cars, ensuring convenience and peace of mind during your stay.

Located just a short stroll from the vibrant Sandy Bay Village, you’ll have easy access to a wide range of cafes such as Six Russell, shops, and amenities. It's only a 15 minute walk or a short drive to the heart of Hobart’s waterfront, where you can enjoy the bustling harbour, dine at waterfront restaurants, and catch the ferry to MONA.
