Summary:

"Bostane Cottage" is your cozy and character-filled retreat in West Hobart. Built circa 1860, this historic home seamlessly blends old-world charm with modern comforts. The eclectic mix of vintage and contemporary furnishings creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that will make you feel right at home.



The Space:

Enjoy magical sunrises over the Derwent River, visible from the comfort of your bedroom, and explore Hobart’s vibrant city center, just a short drive away. Whether you’re here for a relaxing getaway or an adventure in the heart of Tasmania, Bostone Cottage offers the perfect sanctuary.



The character starts before you walk in the door. The “ever so English” raised footpath leads you to the original cast iron gate, up stone steps bordered by a rambling cottage garden.



Step inside to a hallway with unique walls made from hand sawn cedar. This workmanship follows through to the main bedroom with Queen bed which is a generous size and includes a quirky split-level dressing area with desk, chair, and panel heater.



The second bedroom has beautiful cedar floorboards and an open fireplace (not operational) and a panel heater.



A few steps take you up a level to the cozy living area, with reverse cycle air conditioning and very comfortable couch, and a third single bedroom with panel heater. There is a TV with DVD (plenty of great movies) and Wi Fi to keep you entertained. There a well kitted-out kitchen in which to whip up a feast with all that local Tassie produce you buy. Also off the kitchen is a laundry with washing machine, clothes dryer, iron and ironing board.



In warmer weather, there is a gorgeous little courtyard and garden to enjoy.



The cottage is unique, it’s fun, it’s cute and everything you could want for a change of scene… a little step back in time but with all of today’s comforts along for the ride.
