The Stone Labourers Cottage has 3 bedrooms that are tastefully furnished, with built in wardrobes and bay windows. There is a cosy lounge with a plush corner sofa and Smart TV. The open plan dining and kitchen area is well equipped, complete with a wine fridge, coffee pod machine, and sandwich press. Gather fresh produce and local deli products from Hill Street just up the road, and create a delectable feast. Feel free to dine alfresco in the furnished, private courtyard. Utilise the gas outdoor heater in the evenings, or fire up the small fire pit during the winter months (BYO wood).
There is one bathroom with a shower and free WiFi throughout the home. Free 2 hour parking is available directly outside on the street, and is unlimited overnight. However, being so central, there’s hardly a need to hire a vehicle.
The house is cosy and quiet, despite being on the fringes of a bustling, vibrant city centre. This beautiful cottage has an old world charm that pays homage to its history.
Also nearby are the Pigeon Hole Bakery Café, Hamlet Café, Straight Up Coffee, and many restaurants and varied cuisines. Hobart CBD is a 10 minute stroll away: browse the shops on the way, stocking Tassie made gifts.
At the end of the road, starting at Hamlet Café, is the charming South Hobart Rivulet track. Meander along the rivers edge to South Hobart, and stop at the Cascade Brewery from some of Tassies finest brewed beer. You can then stroll back through South Hobart itself, browsing the antique shops, op shops, and stopping for coffee and cake at the many cafés.
