About this property
Gibson's Mill Penthouse with private balcony - 301
At Gibson’s Mill, you don’t just stay in Hobart, you live it. Wake up in a heritage-listed waterfront building where exposed brick and timber meet modern comfort. Cook in your own fully equipped kitchen, or step outside to Salamanca Market, waterfront bars and the CBD within minutes.
The Space: The largest of our twelve self-contained apartments, the penthouse is a three bedroom light-filled loft-style apartment split over two levels. The best of Hobart is at your doorstep when you stay at Gibson’s Mill with Salamanca Markets, Brooke Street Pier and the Mona Ferry only a few minutes walk away. It's an easy base for couples, friends, family or a business trip.
Downstairs, a full kitchen with premium appliances opens onto a generous dining and lounge area, with a workstation tucked to one side. Two bedrooms sit on this level, both with king beds, alongside the main bathroom. Upstairs, the third bedroom is split between a queen room and a single-bed nook, along with an ensuite. A few more stairs take you up to the deck, where the outdoor furniture looks out across the waterfront and the Derwent.
Located in the heart of Hobart's working waterfront, Gibson's Mill is written into Tasmania's history. From the mid-1860’s Gibson’s Flour Mill, a family owned business operated in the period building, becoming the largest flour mill business in Tasmania until it sold in 1979.
Large arched windows run through the living spaces, a reminder of the building's 1890 façade. Three generations of the Gibson family milled flour here from the 1860s until 1979, and the warehouse bones (exposed brick, steel, timber beams) are still doing the work they always did.
The apartment has ducted air conditioning, a Euro laundry with washer and dryer, and one secure car space, though you probably won't need it. Hobart’s town centre, Salamanca place and Battery Point are all a short walk away.
A few local favourites worth the short walk: Aloft on Brooke Street Pier for dinner, Daci & Daci for pastries in the morning, and the Telegraph next door for a pot of Cascade.
Gibson's Mill is an aparthotel rather than a hotel. There's no front desk, but your check-in details arrive by email a few days before you get here, and our team is on hand if you need us.
Please note the stay is located near the waterfront precinct, some apartments experience late night noise from adjacent restaurants, clubs and pubs, particularly on a Friday and Saturday night.
Guest Access: Guests have full access and private use of the entire property.
The Neighborhood: Hobart is an eclectic mix of history and contemporary culture, with a bustling food and arts scene. The apartment is close to everything that Hobart has to offer – restaurants, retail and business district. Start your morning with a selection of incredible coffee and pastry from nearby baker Daci & Daci and a stroll along the waterfront.
Treat yourself to the abundance of restaurants and bars along Salamanca Place, just five minutes walk. Travel easily to MONA by taking the ferry from the terminal located just 3 minutes away.
Getting Around: You can easily walk around the city from the apartment, or Metro Tasmania bus stops are located all over the city to get you around town or nearby areas.
Taxis and Uber are also available, as well as Neuron and Beam scooters to hire via apps.
Other Things to Note: Please note there is parking available during your stay but the carpark is very tight and small cars are recommended only. We take no responsibility for any damage that may occur whilst parking in our facility.
Interaction with Guests: Please note we will not be available in person during your stay. We have a management team in place to assist guests with any questions or issues which may arise during their stay.

Fantastic views, and very central to all things amazing in Hobart. The music from the pub next door went late into the early hours of the night though, but luckily my kids are good sleepers.
This property was superbly located right in the heart of Hobart and near Constitution Dock. The apartment was perfect for 3 couples. It was well appointed, full of character and so close to Hobart's attractions. Would highly recommend
A perfect location for Hobart with everything very walkable. The balcony is spectacular with amazing views over Hobart. The only downside was the glass panels seperating the 2 larger bedrooms from the main room could do with being frosted. You can see into the bedrooms!

Whilst the location and layout of the apartment were terrific, overall we had a few issues with our visit. Firstly, be aware that if you stay on a Friday or Saturday night, the music from the nightclub nearby will be thumping until 4am. In relation to the apartment facilities, when we arrived, the bins had not been emptied and I had to ask for additional bin liners. Similarly, there were insufficient dishwasher tablets and toilet rolls provided, the soap dispensers hadn't been refilled in any of the bathrooms and most frustratingly, they were unable to provide us with a second keycard (because they didn't have any spares and the previous occupants had 'lost' the second one). Admittedly, the turnaround time responding to my messages was quick, however it was very frustrating that I had to make so many requests for a one week stay.
