Cavell Street Cottage in West Hobart
Summary: Welcome to historic Cavell Street Cottage, built in 1870 and located on the fringe of the Hobart CBD, within easy reach of the city's most popular attractions. The iconic Salamanca Market and picturesque waterfront are just a short distance away, offering a delightful mix of art, culture and local cuisine. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a food lover, or simply seeking a relaxing getaway, the cottage offers the perfect base for up to 6 to explore Hobart's rich heritage and natural beauty.
The Space: Welcome to historic Cavell Street Cottage, built in 1870, filled with character and set in central West Hobart. The cottage was built with a mix of convict brick and sandstone which has endured the test of time and been beautifully retained.
The traditional cottage layout features an entry hall with original timber flooring and baltic wall lining and the two ground floor bedrooms opening off either side. These rooms are both generously proportioned and enjoy city and water views.
Follow the staircase to discover the third spacious loft bedroom upstairs, with raked ceilings and offering a great view from the dormer window.
The cottage comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests across the 3 bedrooms.
While the fully equipped kitchen provides everything you need to prepare delicious meals using local produce from nearby markets, whether it is iconic Salamanca Market each Saturday or the Farm Gate market each Sunday.
The bathroom features a separate shower and bath to enjoy a relaxing soak in at the end of the day. Step outside into the under cover courtyard, where you can enjoy alfresco dining or a morning coffee and take in the large backyard.
A historic and comfortable base to enjoy Hobart from. The cottage has off street parking for one vehicle.

Lovely cottage that was clean and warm for our stay.The couches in the lounge room, however, move severely when getting up and down. They are too low and not at all appealing when they shift under you.
