Nestled within Hobart’s inner residential area, Captains Cottage is easy walking distance to the Hobart CBD, Salamanca and Battery Point, and has everything to make your stay a comfortable one. The surrounding area is filled with popular cafes which are perfect to get your daily coffee fix, Hobart’s hottest restaurants and talented chefs, craft breweries for the beer lovers, trendy bars, and local larders to sample the best Tasmanian produce.
Heritage listed Captains Cottage was originally built for a ship’s captain in the 1800s. The land title was first granted in 1826, however, there is uncertainty about exactly when the cottage was built, with estimates of its age ranging from 1830 to 1870. Over the years considered improvements have been made as we slowly and intentionally make her a little more perfect.
We are passionate about being the best we can and recently installed a deep claw foot bath for long luxurious soaking, with views through French doors to our courtyard garden.
Guests have exclusive use of the cottage, courtyard garden and off street parking. With a mix of natural-textured fabrics and furnishings the cottage is warm and inviting.
We have high speed internet access and free netflix. The loft bedroom has a queen size bed with luxury Dutch flax linen sheets. If you love to cook, we have a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to make the most of the fresh local produce.
We bought this treasured cottage sight unseen and just knew she was special. We stay here every chance we get and are always a little sad to leave, however, it give us great joy to share her with our beautiful guests who look after her when we can’t.
We believe that the soul of Captains Cottage has come from the intention with which we have created her for you and we hope you fall in love with her as we have.
