The Retreat at Saddlers House with Private Balcony

Just a short stroll to the waterfront and opposite the Sunday Farmers Market, The Retreat at Saddlers House offers a city-centre haven that embodies its industrial roots with exposed brick, natural textiles, subdued artwork, and black metals. A cosy, undercover balcony offers space to relax in the sun, open plan living is air-conditioned for year-round comfort, while two bathrooms and lift access add to your convenience.
Saddlers House began its life as a purveyor of leather goods in the late 1800s, specialising in shoemaking. It has just undergone a creative restoration and houses four high-end apartments right in the city centre amongst the buzz of cafes, restaurants and specialty shops.

The apartment retains many original features including polished floorboards and brick-cladded walls, which add to the ambience of the apartment in a vibrant part of town. Kick back on the sofa or armchair in front of the smart TV, cook up meals in the gourmet kitchen and dine in style at the four-seater table. A balcony offers seating for two so you can soak up the area’s industrial vibe.

Two bedrooms sleep four guests. The primary is set with a queen bed. Sleek built-in cabinetry offers ample space to store your belongings and an attached monochrome ensuite makes it easy to freshen up. The second bedroom offers flexibility with two single beds, that can be made into a king upon request. The main bathroom is a sanctuary for unwinding, offering heated floors and a deep freestanding bath.

In-unit laundry houses a washer and dryer and fast WiFi keeps you connected. Please note that there is no on-site parking, but there is street parking nearby.
During your stay, you and your group will have the entire apartment to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!

You're right in the heart of the city, yet the apartments are such a peaceful haven. In this part of the city you'll enjoy the many dining and shopping options, with a great selection of local restaurants and eateries right on your doorstep. The popular Criterion Street cafes are just a stones through away, offering the best coffee and breakfast in town, with outdoor tables and a friendly, relaxed feel. If you love your Tassie produce, the farmers market on Sundays is a must do, and is located on Bathurst Street just a minute from the apartments. If you're after some great Tassie wine, then go and see Tim at Cool Wine just across the road.

If you like to explore on foot, It's just an easy stroll to the wharf precinct, Botanic Gardens, Aquatic and Tennis Centre and Brooke Street Pier (MONA ferry).

Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
