Tucked away in Sandy Bay
Overall we enjoyed the property for our week in Hobart. Location both quiet and close to the CBD and wharf area removing any need to drive and our dog loved Fitzroy Gardens park nearby for his daily walks. Some observations for improvements; a fan in the bedrooms would be a welcome addition in the warmer weather; as there are no fly screens on doors nor windows, circulation at night was not possible. We found the garden rather neglected and therefore not particularly inviting to spend time in.

Everything you need
We came to Hobart for a long weekend getaway and Star Cottage was everything we hoped for and more. It’s clean, tidy, warm, and central. It also offers beautiful views. My husband, 10 year-old son and I marvelled at surrounding gardens and prestigious homesteads and visited all the popular tourist attractions including the Salamanca Markets and high quality restaurants with delicious seafood and wine. Shops and gorgeous parks are all within walking distance. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

November week in Hobart
Star cottage was an absolute delight. We visited Hobart for the week, my daughter, 22month old grandson and myself. The cottage and surrounds were everything we could have hoped for, comfortable, clean and warm. The location was great, we could walk into Sandy Bay or Hobart easily, drive if needed. Loved everything about this little place, my grandson was comfortable and safe, especially enjoyed having his bottle in front of the fire in the morning on the sheepskin rug. We will be back for sure. Thank you Antonia and Nic for a memorable stay.
