  • STAR COTTAGE - luxury historic cottage, minutes walk to CBD. Tucked behind Hobarts picturesque Fitzroy Place – is Star Cottage. This Circa 1837 convict cottage combines Georgian charm with luxurious, modern, and warm interiors. Holding a central position in Sandy Bay for your stay in Hobart, within a short stroll you can find gourmet grocers, locally stocked bottle shops, cafes, restaurants, Sandy Bay bustling shopping strip, Salamanca Place, parks and central Hobart. The space - Star Cottage is a fully appointed house, and only 10 minute walk to Salamanca Place and the Hobart CBD. Star Cottage is nestled in a quiet no through road amidst other heritage homes. It is the perfect base for small groups or a family discovering Hobart or Tasmania. The two cosy bedrooms hold queen beds, each with hotel quality mattresses and linen. Heating throughout the cottage will keep you warm in the cooler months, along with heated towel rails and a gas fire. Luxurious Leif skin care products are also available during your stay. The kitchen combines stone benchtops and a complete kitchen with gas cooker and dishwasher and utensils. Beautiful Baltic pine and Tasmanian hardwood floor boards are throughout the house and privacy is ensured in each room. A washing machine and drier are also available for guests, as well as a clothes steamer. Enjoy your complimentary Tasmanian honey, or take it home to share. Guests will enjoy unlimited WiFi, Smart Television and fresh coffee complete with grinder and SMEG machine. A selection of T2 tea’s are also available during your stay. Of course the many cafes and restaurants located within a short walk are also available, and we would be happy to assist with any recommendations and advising where to book early! Enjoy a tea on the sun drenched deck overlooking a private green cottage garden, or evening Gin and Tonic with fresh lemons. Star Cottage provides all you need for a cosy, central and spoilt stay in Hobart. Children and Infants are welcome at Star Cottage and a cot, change table and high chair are available upon request, as well as any other needs we can assist to accommodate. Living nearby – we will help where we can! Linen for the cot is provided. Ample parking is available in Star St (2hr 8am-6pm and all day on weekends) and a number of all day parks on Fitzroy Place. This heritage listed house has the original internal beautiful staircase, however, it is narrow and steep. We ask guests not to use it for their own safety.

Other things to note - Star Cottage is located in a pretty and quiet neighbourhood and we respect the surrounding neighbours.
