Summary:
Introducing " Bostane Cottage " is a quaint, quirky, private little cottage only a ten-minute walk to the CBD. Positioned high on the hill of West Hobart with a lovely view across the City to the Derwent River, which delivers magical sunrises you can see from your bedroom.
Built circa 1860, it oozes character, an eclectic mix of old and new styles blend beautifully to create a comfortable relaxing sanctuary, a great place to call home when visiting Hobart.
The Space:
The character starts before you walk in the door. The “ever so English” raised footpath leads you to the original cast iron gate, up stone steps bordered by a rambling cottage garden.
Step inside to a hallway with unique walls made from hand sawn cedar. This workmanship follows through to the main bedroom which is a generous size and includes a quirky split-level dressing area.
The second bedroom has beautiful cedar floorboards and an open fireplace (not operational).
A few steps take you up a level to the cozy living area, with reverse cycle air conditioning and very comfortable couch, and a third single bedroom. There is a TV and Wi Fi to keep you entertained and kitted-out kitchen in which to whip up a feast with all that local Tassie produce you buy.
In warmer weather, there is a gorgeous little courtyard and garden to enjoy.
The cottage is unique, it’s fun, it’s cute and everything you could want for a change of scene… a little step back in time but with all of today’s comforts along for the ride.
Guest Access:
Guests have full use of the house for the duration of their stay
The Neighborhood:
The street is arguably one of Hobart’s prettiest. You can walk 2 mins to a great coffee and 10 mins to the heart of the city. The awesome local pub The New Sydney is a 10 min walk and offers live music great food and an open fire in winter.
West Hobart is architecturally stunning, every house is a winner, so just walking around the neighborhood is special.
