It offers a peaceful, residential atmosphere while being only 10 minutes from Hobart’s city center and Salamanca Market. With its nearby shopping center just 5 minutes away, you have easy access to supermarkets, boutique shops, and local eateries.

In Hobart itself, you can explore famous spots like the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens, the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, and MONA (Museum of Old and New Art), a must-see for art lovers. Just outside Hobart, Mount Wellington (Kunanyi) offers breathtaking views over the city and harbor, and the Tasman Peninsula features incredible landscapes and the historic Port Arthur site.

Additionally, Sandy Bay’s proximity to Hobart’s waterfront makes it easy to join boat tours, including trips to Bruny Island, known for its wildlife and rugged coastlines. All these destinations are just a short drive or ferry ride away, making Sandy Bay an ideal base for exploring southern Tasmania.

Other Things to Note:
Elderly people can use the stairs on the left in the front of the house. Please keep an eye on your little ones, as the slope here is quite steep for them. Make sure to be extra cautious, especially on rainy days.
