Blue Magnolia - Hidden Gem
There's a secret location at the end of a lane way where Blue Magnolia lies. This 1840s Heritage Listed stone cottage has been lovingly restored and extended, transforming it into a gorgeous, spacious, contemporary one bed accommodation. Blue Magnolia offers privacy, comfort and space in a unique location in central Hobart.
The front courtyard features a stunning stone wall and contemplation bench. Entering through the new front door leads to the well designed, high spec kitchen, great for those who love cooking. The expansive glass sliding doors opens on to an outdoor decking perfect for alfresco dining. The living spaces located within the stone walls of the old cottage have been modernized and meticulously appointed and furnished. Enjoy a good book by the gas fire place in the cozy reading nook or hang out, relax and watch a movie in the living room. The luxurious light filled sleeping space is reached by a wide staircase dramatically illuminated by a glass ceiling. The glass ceiling is repeated in the en suite revealing an ever changing skyscape which can be enjoyed as you soak is the deep luxurious bath.
Blue Magnolia is fully self-contained and private, accommodates two people and is for guests to fully enjoy. Breakfast goodies and some staples are provided to get you started. There are two outdoor areas; the front courtyard and the back deck, which receives the morning sun and is a perfect place for alfresco dining.
There is an easy to use Miele washer/ dryer laundry. Hairdryer, iron and ironing board are upstairs. Instructions are in the Compendium.
There is street parking with some 2 hour restriction during the day in front of the property but further up and across the street there are no restriction.

For those who like to cook there are many places within a very short walking distance to buy good quality and gourmet food. * Huon Valley Meats, gourmet butcher is located across the street on the corner of Goulburn and Molle street. * Next door is the famous Pigeon Hole Café which sells great breads and baked goods. * Eumarrah organic and natural food store is located one block down Goulburn street. * Truckle & co – cheese, fine foods and wine store is only three blocks away on Bathurst street.
One of the features of Hobart is its breathtaking setting; nestled between the lofty heights of Mount Wellington (Indigenous name: kunanyi) and the sparkling estuary of the Derwent river. One of the most enjoyable ways to experience the beauty of Hobart is take a cruise. Boats leave from Watermans Dock in the city. Hobart is host to many superb and exciting festivals including: Dark MoFo, Mona Foma, The Summer Festival, The Festival of Voices, The Wooden Boat Festival, The Tasmanian Arts Festival, The Taste Festival, The Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. Whether it’s Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter there is always something on in Hobart to enrich the senses and inspire the soul.
Blue Magnolia is located within walking distance of the city, but the easiest and most convenient way to see the many attractions that Hobart offers is by car. Alternatively, cabs are easily accessible and affordable and UBER has recently entered the market in Hobart as well. Hobart also has a public transport bus system.

Magnificent!
I reviewed Blue Magnolia earlier in February and nothing changed for this last visit. Everything is very clean. The kitchen is well appointed with tools to cook with. The linens are very comfortable. But I wanted to comment this time on parking. On this visit I had a rental car. There is only two hour parking in front of the property from 8:30 AM to 6 PM, much to Eve's chagrin. So if you park during the day you should move your car every 2 hours, as I did see parking tickets on windshields and a parking enforcement officer (albeit closer to downtown).But this property is worth it. It is very comfortable, very clean, well appointed, and close to downtown. You won't regret staying here.

Outstanding property!
I loved staying here. It seems as if it was designed by an architect. When you get the address, look up the walkway to the dark brown building in the rear.When you enter into the large hallway, to the right is a powder room and the (fully equipped) kitchen. To the left of the hallway is two living room spaces; the first with the fireplace and the second with the TV. Then there is the stairwell to upstairs (with a sky light). At the top of the stairs are the closets and dressing area, beyond that is the bed, and then the bathroom with a skylight over the entire space, from the spa tub to the shower.I was there for very high temperatures in February and it was too hot to leave toiletries in the bathroom during the day.Fortunately there is a fine which provided a welcome relief every night.I loved it here, as it had everything to make my stay in Hobart most comfortable.

A unique place to stay in Hobart
A beautiful design masterpiece with everything you need for an extended stay in Hobart. Check-in is easy, Eve is easy to deal with, and the location is amazing. Great care has been taken to ensure this is a higher-end/premium listing and it shows.
