Our 7 night stay was absolutely lovely. Very relaxing, great location, comfortable beds and everything you possibly need for a comfortable stay. The property was lovely and warm for a winter stay. Street parking was pretty good and we could always get a park at or near the front door. We would definitely recommend staying at this cottage as it was such great value and felt like our little home away from home.

A Charming Stay in this Perfect Location

It may be a matter of taste, but this immaculate cottage was absolute perfection. Fabulous taste in the decoration and every comfort considered. From a cozy gas fire with a great selection of books, to a sunny spot for a cup of tea in the garden. The hosts are fabulous and truly this was one of the best properties I've stayed in on my travels.

Wonderful property in perfect location

We had a brilliant week at Star Cottage and loved being so close to the city while in a quiet area. It was wonderful to be in walking distance of the city, Cascade Brewery, Battery Point and the Derwent River, as well as having a supermarket and eateries so close. The cottage was snug and had both modern features as well as old world charm. Thank you Antonia and Robin!

Everything you need

We came to Hobart for a long weekend getaway and Star Cottage was everything we hoped for and more. It’s clean, tidy, warm, and central. It also offers beautiful views. My husband, 10 year-old son and I marvelled at surrounding gardens and prestigious homesteads and visited all the popular tourist attractions including the Salamanca Markets and high quality restaurants with delicious seafood and wine. Shops and gorgeous parks are all within walking distance. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!
