The Neighborhood:
Set between the Hobart CBD and the Cascade Brewery and historic Cascade Female Factory, this idyllic location is an entity in itself where you can pop next door to the famous Hill Street Grocers and sample or take home some of Tasmania’s finest fresh produce, step across the road to the trendy Bear With Me Café or stroll to shopping, city buses and humming eateries within a couple of minutes.

The popular Rivulet Track is only a two minute stroll away where you can walk through parkland by the water (keep an eye out for the native Paddymelons) to Cascade Gardens, Cascade Brewery and the historic Cascade Female Factory as well as the attractions in the Hobart CBD within 20 minutes in either direction. If you’re not up for a walk, buses stop just metres from the doorstep running regularly to both destinations and it’s only a few minutes’ drive either way by car.

However you get to the Hobart CBD it’s always worth it. The relaxed and easy going pace is perfectly suited to cruising around, taking in the sights and getting amongst its evolving hospitality scene. Check out the numerous landmark buildings and boutique restaurants, Salamanca Markets and its cosmopolitan riverside cuisine and social scene as well as Constitution Docks and the ferry wharf to MONA.

Tasmania’s renowned wilderness areas literally hug the city and there’s no better, closer or spectacular place to experience it than Kunanyi (Mount Wellington) where the panoramic views over Hobart and the mighty Derwent River are truly breathtaking. There’s also a host of bayside towns down to the south that are well-worth checking out.

Elegant, modern and incredibly central, it’s the ideal space to savour the true taste of Hobart.
