About this property

Stone Flower Renovated Barn

Stone Flower is a mid-1800s barn that has been transformed into a unique, comfortable and luxurious one bed accommodation. Fully equipped, self contained, private with a lovely courtyard; it is centrally located with in minutes of all the best that Hobart has to offer. This is the perfect Romantic Getaway!

Stone Flower is located off the main street, at the end of a private driveway. It is a beautiful, light-filled, multi-level dwelling which flawlessly harmonizes the richness of its historical past with comforts of modern day life. This unique property has been creatively transformed and provides privacy and comfort.

It now boasts a private sunny, Mediterranean style courtyard, the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine after a busy day exploring all the Hobart and surrounds has to offer.

The upstairs space, is bathed in natural light and sits under the original pitched ceiling. From the stunning bedroom with its deliciously comfortable queen-size bed, step up into the open plan bathroom featuring a large wet area shower, mirrored cupboards, and gorgeous vanity all enveloped in the warmth of timber and stone. The old barn's original ladder now serves as a unique towel rack! Guest amenities are provided.

Downstairs, there is an open plan living area perfect for relaxing with a good book or for watching a movie from the eclectic DVD collection provided. And the best of Australian contemporary furniture is yours to enjoy. Step into the fully equipped, gourmet kitchen and cook up a storm. Culinary delights are available from several conveniently located grocers including the much loved Hill St Grocer, Salamanca Fresh, Wursthaus Kitchen, Salamanca Market (on Saturday) as well as the normal supermarkets. The custom built dining table has been recycled from beams left over from the renovation and seats four people.

There is under floor heating both upstairs and downstairs and a panel heaters in the bedroom and living room. There is also a small outdoor area and parking for one car.

Stone Flower is the winner of several architectural and building awards including:

- 2010 National Award for Small Project Architecture

- Tasmanian Architecture Award for Small Project Architecture
- 2011 Winner Renovation (HIA-CSR)

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I love old buildings. We love to transform an old unloved place into unique and comfortable spaces. We love the creative challenge of fulfilling a vision, bringing it into reality.

Why they chose this property

When we first saw the front house for sale we were drawn to this property not by the house but by what lay behind it; an old, convict built, neglected barn. We both knew that this could be transformed into something special.
It took several years before we found the finances and the right team to do the job. In 2009 the transformation began. It took 8 month to complete.
For 3 years the place was rented on a permanent basis. In 2014 we furnished and fitted out the Barn for short term accommodation, and thus Stone Flower was born .
In 201, ten years after creating this unique space we have added an outdoor courtyard, that complements and completes Stone Flower.

What makes this property unique

Stone flower is private and totally unique. There is no other property that compares. It is close to the city and yet far enough to be peaceful. All that Hobart has to offer is at your finger tips. This is a perfect place for a romantic getaway or as a home base for day trips to the surrounding area.
