Welcome to your coastal escape in the heart of Taroona, one of Hobart’s most peaceful and picturesque suburbs. Just fifteen minutes from the city centre, this charming three-bedroom, two-bathroom home offers light-filled comfort, ocean glimpses, and a lush garden perfect for relaxing or playing. Step inside and you’ll find a bright and beautifully appointed space, large enough for the comfort of the whole family. The dining area is a highlight, set in a sunny corner surrounded by windows that frame the treetops and views of the River Derwent. It’s an ideal spot to enjoy your morning coffee, a quiet breakfast, or a glass of wine at dusk. The kitchen has a warm, welcoming feel, with classic timber cabinetry, a large island bench, and plenty of space for preparing meals. Whether you're cooking up a family dinner or just slicing some fruit to satiate the kids, this well-equipped space has everything you need - including double ovens and a sleek black fridge. A large picture window looks out onto a garden filled with greenery, flowers, and the occasional native bird. The master bedroom at the front of the home is spacious and stylish; the large windows really celebrate those water views too. Another bedroom features a single bed with a trundle that can be folded away to create more space - perfect for children or friends travelling together. The light filled back bedroom offers a double bed, a large and comfortable sofa facing the TV, a cabinet full of kid’s toys, and an ensuite. This bedroom features a ‘Yona’ eco-friendly cardboard bed – it may look flimsy, but I assure you it is strong enough to hold the weight of several people (plus a child if needs be!). With 2.5 bathrooms, 2 dining spaces, and 2 separate living areas, there’s room for everyone to unwind - whether you’re curling up with a book, watching a movie, or finding a quiet spot to work.

You're perfectly situated to discover the best of Hobart. An easy 10-minute drive will take you to the popular Sandy Bay shopping precinct, offering a fantastic array of cafes, diverse cuisines (with a strong Asian influence), great pubs, and all major supermarkets (plus Asian grocers). For a breath of fresh air, 'Long Beach' is another easy 5-minute drive from your stay. This recreational area features a large, gated play area for families and free BBQ facilities for a relaxed afternoon. There’s also a charming beach, and waterfront pizzeria. To experience nearby beaches that only the locals know and love, type Hinsby beach into your maps and follow the discreet path down to the waterfront. Taroona Beach and Dixons beach are also hidden gems. Take a wander through the beautiful and historic suburb of Battery Point, easily accessible on foot (just past Sandy Bay precinct). Enjoy its enchanting streets, browse unique eateries and jewellery shops, and soak in the stunning Derwent River views from its charming pubs like the Shipwrights. You can even walk through Battery Point to reach Salamanca. The lively Salamanca strip is also within walking distance, a hub of amazing food, charming shops, and quirky art galleries. Make sure to experience the must-do Saturday morning markets! Even Hobart CBD is within easy reach - spend a day exploring its many attractions, including the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery near the waterfront (free entry). The waterfront itself is a culinary delight, home to iconic seafood restaurants like Mures and the delicious Van Diemen’s ice creamery. It's also the departure point for numerous tours, including Bruny Island adventures, Peppermint Bay cruises, a visit to MONA, and scenic flights.
