Fantastic host who couldn't have been more accommodating. The attention to detail was second to none with everything being spotlessly clean. The beds were comfy, the shower was amazing, the basic pantry items were provided. We could not fault this stay and wished we had stayed longer.
this place was so adorable and so fully equipped too bad. We were only there for a quick stay over for an early flight to New Zealand. Patsy was so wonderful and warm. The view from her place was great. And picking us up and bringing us to the airport was a huge plus. Fantastic. !!!!!
Excellent host-effective communicator, friendly & welcoming, generous. The Wombat Studio was perfect for what we needed- a stopover before a flight home. As it turned out this accommodation is more - a beautiful location, expansive views to the coast, peaceful surrounds, immaculately clean and so very well equiped and stocked for our stay. Thank you so very much Patsy.
Thank you so much Patsy for your kind hospitality. Wombat place is a quiet and comfort stay we only wished we could of stayed longer. Breakfast had so many choices and Patsy kindly picked us up from the airport which we deeply appreciated as we flew in at night. Thank you so much Patsy, we very much enjoyed our stay. Hope to be back again soon one day.
The host made us very welcome. Such a quiet and comfortable accommodation - just what we needed! Rural location and scenery was great! Absolutely recommend to anyone! Robyn
Absolutely beautiful property and lovely, cozy studio. Hosts are fantastic! Perfect place to relax, close enough to the city to enjoy all Hobart has to offer but a calm and quiet place to chill after a busy day.
I would go there again in a heartbeat if I was in this part of the country again. A little out of town if you're wanting something walking distance but an absolute delight and driving distance to anywhere. Patsy was a great host and I en
We absolutely loved our short stay at The Wombat Studio. Patsy was so kind and hospitable to pick us up from the airport and drop us off. The accomodation was beautifully appointed and they had thought of every little detail! Thanks so much Patsy!

Peaceful property, perfectly presented studio
Well thought out accomodation, all necessities provided for a short or long stay. Lovely hosts gave plenty of privacy. Very comfortable bed and very new furnishings make this accomodation a cut above the rest.

The most helpful and wonderful stay!
The studio is the perfect little stay with everything you could need, including a beautiful view! However the best part is the host, Patsy, she went above and beyond in travel advice, offering to get us from the airport and being flexible when our flights changed. I can not recommend her and the wombat studio enough!

Thank you for the great review! It was a pleasure to host you and to offer itinerary suggestions for your visit to our beautiful state. All the best, Patsy and Noel
A comfy studio with everything you need for relaxing break
Wombat Studio is one of the best studio apartments we have stayed in located in a quiet rural setting with a lovely and helpful host. It had everything we needed for an overnight satay at the end of our holiday but would also be a great base for exploring Hobart/Port Arthur. We would love to come back!
The place is great. Am definitely staying again. Host was really helpful. The location is perfect. The studio was spacious & so very very clean. Loved it.
We were looking for a quick, convenient stay close to the airport and transfers for our overall holiday, and man, did we hit the jackpot! Patsy and the Wombat Studio were a delightful surprise. Spotless, comfortable and peaceful, we are so disappointed we could only stay one night. Patsy was SO generous with her time and airport transfers, and the breakfast included was perfect for our needs. Definitely adding to the list next time we are in the area, for a long term stay.
Perfect place to start or finish your tour of Tasmania. Close to the airport, easy to get to Hobart, Richmond and the Coal Valley, etc. Comfortable and well-looked after place with everything you may need. Plenty of space, quiet, and decorated with charm. Patsy is incredibly responsive and kind. Would return for sure.
Spent three nights at the wombat studio Patsy was such a super host, greeted us as we arrived explained everything even gave us infirmation and directions to various sites we had chosen and recommended more.the studio was spacious, clean and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay.We enjoyed our visit and will be back.Thankyou patsy

About the host
Hosted by Patsy Davies
I am an animal lover and well-known carer of injured or orphaned native wildlife in Tasmania. I was employed for 14 years by the State Government as the Coordinator of the Program which placed injured and orphaned wildlife with the volunteer carer network around the state (now retired).
Whilst I love all native animals, my favourite is clearly wombats.
My involvement with, love and respect for such incredible creatures led me to call our accommodation 'The Wombat Studio'.
Why they chose this property
The Wombat Studio is part of a 5-acre property in a semi-rural area. Acton Park is considered a safe area, is an easy short drive to Hobart Airport, yet far enough away to not to be bothered by aircraft noise. The studio is located 400 metres from the main road, therefore, is a quiet and private location. Even though we are not located within the hustle and bustle of the city, Hobart is only a short 20-minute easy drive. Many southern Tasmanian tourist sites are an easy drive from the Studio, for example, the Coal Valley Wine region, Richmond Historic Township, Port Arthur Historic Site and Mount Wellington, just to name a few. The Wombat Studio is warm in winter, cool in summer with the bonus of a pleasant view over Frederick Henry Bay.
