About this house rental
Little Halcyon is a 1930s house that has kept its period features and been filled, carefully and over time, with vintage pieces chosen in a nod to its history. The effect is mellow rather than museum-like. You notice it the moment you step inside.
The living and dining area is the centre of it, and it is genuinely large. Five people can spread out here without anyone feeling underfoot, which matters more on a week-long stay than almost anything else. It flows into a generous kitchen, so whoever is cooking stays in the conversation. Bi-fold windows open the whole room onto the deck, and on a bright day that is where everybody ends up.
The kitchen is set up for people who actually cook. Quality cookware, proper implements, good appliances, an espresso machine and vintage crockery worth eating off. Hobart’s markets and providores turn up produce you will want to do something with, and there are herbs growing in the front and back gardens for the rest: bay, mint, lemon verbena, rosemary and thyme.
Three bedrooms sleep up to five. Two have queen beds and the third has a single, with a dedicated workspace and its own access out to the garden courtyard, which makes it as useful for someone working as for a fifth guest. All three have proper storage, extra blankets and heaters. Hobart nights surprise people who have not been before, so the heaters are not an afterthought.
The bathroom is modern, with a bath and a walk-in shower, and the toilet sits separately alongside the laundry. With five in the house, that separation does more for a morning than any amount of floor space.
There is a highchair and portacot available if required. Please bring own linen. Please be aware that using our baby equipment is at the guests own discretion.
Out the back, a long covered deck runs the length of the house, surrounded by greenery. It is the quiet end of the property and the best spot in it. There is a driveway alongside the house for parking.
So you know what to expect: this is an old home facing onto a road. The timber floors creak, so you may hear someone walking to the bathroom at night. Traffic is light after 8pm, though the odd passing car is audible if you are a light sleeper. One bedroom has two small high windows near the ceiling, which means some light gets in at daybreak. The reviews are worth reading before you book.
