The Church House Spacious Heritage Escape for Two

Set within a striking former church in North Hobart, this distinctive retreat pairs grand heritage architecture with bold, eclectic styling. Expansive open-plan living feels wonderfully spacious for two, offering plenty of room to unwind. Outside, a private deck sets the scene for alfresco dining, sun-soaked lounging, or evening drinks beneath the covered seating area. With cafés, wine bars and the cinema just moments away, you can easily explore one of Hobart’s most creative neighbourhoods.
Originally an old church, this home blends striking heritage architecture with richly layered, eclectic styling, where vaulted ceilings and tall windows flood the space with light against deep teal walls, antique pieces and contemporary lighting. The main living area offers plush seating and warm lamplight for slow mornings or relaxed evenings. A second lounge centres around the fireplace for cosy nights, while a third space has been styled as a library, complete with bookshelves and inviting seating for quiet afternoons with a novel. The pool table adds a playful touch for friendly matches before dinner.

The kitchen pairs classic white cabinetry with skylights overhead, creating a bright and practical space to cook, complete with an oven, stovetop, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and generous bench space. Enjoy Nespresso or pour-over coffee at the breakfast nook, or gather at the striking red dining table beneath sculptural lighting for long, shared meals. Outdoors, the private deck is wrapped in greenery and red brick, extending the home’s heritage character into the open air. Dine alfresco, stretch out on the sun loungers, or relax beneath the covered lounge. A BBQ and dedicated prep area make entertaining easy.

The bedroom offers a calmer palette, featuring a queen bed with quality linen and built-in storage. The bathroom makes its own statement with vibrant green tiles, a walk-in shower and a double vanity. A private laundry with a washer and dryer, iron and essentials supports longer stays.

Year-round comfort is ensured with split-system air conditioning and heating in the main living area. While there is a separate dwelling located behind the property, the garden itself is not shared.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire house to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!

Step outside and explore the creative pulse of North Hobart. Just a five-minute stroll away, Elizabeth Street unfolds as one of Hobart’s most loved dining strips. Begin your morning with brunch at Born In Brunswick, enjoy bold Mexican flavours at Pancho Villa, or wander between wine bars, pubs and cosy eateries as the night settles in.

Spend an afternoon at the iconic State Cinema catching an independent film, browse nearby boutiques and specialty stores, or claim a sunny footpath table for coffee and people-watching. When you’re ready to explore further, Salamanca Market, the waterfront and historic Battery Point are all within an easy drive, allowing you to experience both North Hobart’s village feel and Hobart’s harbourfront charm in one seamless stay.

Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
