The City of Hobart is one of the premier tourist attractions in Australia.

A journey to the top of Mount Wellington is a must. The views of the city, the waterways and the region are incredible. No other city in Australia has a viewing platform 1000 metres above sea level.

Other tourist attractions in the south of Tasmania that are an easy drive from Hobart within one day include the Huon Valley, Port Arthur Historic Site and the Derwent Valley.

The cottage is 12km from Hobart and this journey takes about 15 minutes by car.


There is a small shopping centre just 300 meters away with a Post Office & newsagency, pharmacy, hairdresser and a small delicatessen supermarket.

The "Shoreline Shopping Centre" is 1 kilometre away and has most facilities that a visitor would need.

The local "Shoreline Hotel" offers quality meals at a reasonable price.

It is possible to walk along the local beaches to the village of Bellerive, where you can enjoy a meal in one of the eateries that overlook the yachts in the bay, followed by a stroll along the Boardwalk.
