Summary: Cascade Pad is a brand new architect designed, cosy and quiet place to stay in central South Hobart, filled with fine art and light.
A short walk from the Hobart rivulet and a pathway that will lead you directly into the Hobart CBD or up past the historic Cascade Brewery and onto the flanks of Mount Wellington.
There is a fully self-contained kitchen with the brilliant Hill Street store only five minutes walk away or wander up to one of Hobart newest hip wine bars Lupin or the historic Cascade Hotel, both minutes away.

Great stay in a beautiful location
Fantastic new studio-type accommodation. Actually bigger than I thought from the pictures too. Lovely new bathroom and kitchen with all the necessities. The only thing I would mention is that there is a combined microwave/convection oven appliance (so no traditional oven) but it was absolutely fine for our purposes. Just across the road is the Cascade Walking Track/Hobart Rivulet Track that backs on to the mountain and gorgeous parkland ripe for reading or a picnic. We found it to be a quick drive to the city (which we could have walked). There’s also a car spot which was very handy for our day trips out of Hobart.
