About this home

Set in the heart of a vibrant residential village near Hobart, this lovingly restored 1900s cottage on Downie Street offers a genuinely charming long-term base for guests wanting to experience the area at a relaxed, unhurried pace. Combining historic character with modern comfort, it's an ideal choice for anyone planning an extended stay who wants their accommodation to feel like a real home. The cottage comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests across two queen bedrooms, with high-quality linens for restful sleep night after night, plus a sofa bed in the study for extra flexibility. The living room, filled with natural light and character from potted plants throughout the home, is the perfect place to unwind after a day out, featuring climate control to keep things comfortable year-round and high-speed NBN internet for streaming during quieter evenings in. The light-filled kitchen is fully equipped for everyday cooking, with servery windows opening onto the patio — ideal for outdoor dining or a slow morning coffee in the sun. Outside the front door, a bench offers a lovely spot to enjoy a glass of local wine or morning tea while taking in views of kunanyi/Mount Wellington — an everyday touch that makes an extended stay here feel genuinely special. Pets are welcome with advance arrangement, and a porta cot is available on request, making this a flexible option for families or those travelling with pets over a longer period. A bicycle is also provided for guests' use, adding an easy, active way to explore the neighbourhood throughout your stay. The location is a major advantage for extended living — a popular local grocer is seconds away on foot, with well-known local cafés just a 3-minute stroll, covering daily essentials and coffee runs with ease. Hobart's city centre, Salamanca, and the MONA ferry are all around 20 minutes on foot (or a short drive), while historic local landmarks like the Cascade Brewery and Cascades Female Factory are just minutes away for regular exploring close to home. For those seeking a characterful, comfortable, and supremely well-located long-term base near Hobart, Downie Street offers a truly memorable home away from home.
