About this cottage rental
Behind its white picket fence and elegant Georgian facade, this cottage showcases the understated detailing and architectural character of early Tasmanian design. Dating back to the 19th century, it retains its old-world personality through quaint low doorways, traditional shiplap ceilings and original fireplaces, thoughtfully complemented by contemporary comforts.
The inviting living area offers plush sofas, an HD TV with Netflix and a decorative brick fireplace, perfect for settling in with a good book or enjoying a film. The bright kitchen is equipped with an oven, stove, microwave, refrigerator, Nespresso machine and cooking essentials. Share meals around the timber dining table or catch up on work at the dedicated workspace.

The primary bedroom has a queen bed, soft furnishings and natural light, while the second bedroom features a double bed, curated artwork and a traditional timber wardrobe. Both bedrooms have portable heaters for cooler nights. The bathroom offers a bathtub with an overhead shower, a vanity and complimentary toiletries, alongside a private washing machine for added convenience.
Split-system air conditioning and heating in the hallway ensure year-round comfort. Free driveway and street parking are available.
