19 Blue in Blackmans Bay A Home Away From Home!

Set in the owner's lovely, cottage garden, 19 Blue is a little oasis in this pretty suburb so close to the beach and other attractions.

19 Blue is a one bedroom, self-contained holiday cottage situated in the lovely beach-side suburb of Blackmans Bay . 19 Blue is so thoughtfully equipped many guests describe it as "A home away from home".

Just fifteen minutes from Hobart, it makes an ideal base for all your Southern Tasmanian tourism destinations.

19 Blue has been furnished and equipped with love and care: homely country style furniture with lots of little extras much appreciated by guests. Homemade soap is in the bathroom.

A verandah runs the full length of the back of the cottage which overlooks Blackmans Bay. A private deck, at the front, makes an ideal place for a relaxing drink or a sunny morning breakfast. The cottage overlooks the owner's vegetable garden from which you may pick vegetables for your own needs.

Parking is off street.

19 Blue is fully equipped with a queen size bed and laundry facilities. The kitchen has a cooktop and a convection/microwave oven. The bread, which is supplied upon arrival, has been baked in a convection oven.

The laundry has a washing machine with a tub dry feature then you only need to hang your washing out on the line or over the clothes airer for a short time.

You will find free range eggs from the owner's chooks, muesli or Weetbix. Leaf Tea or tea bags, ground coffee or instant. Oh, and let's not forget the loaf of homemade bread!

The cottage is well insulated with double glazing. Heating is a reverse cycle heat pump keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer.

Judith and Chris, the owners at 19 Blue are very committed to green living. You will find a compost and a chicken food scraps bucket. You are so welcome to come down and feed the chooks yourselves!

The lounge area has a television/DVD player with magazines and a folder with day trip itinerary suggestions. CD's and a good range of DVD's are provided as are board games.

The Bayview Shopping centre is just down the road with a newsagency, pharmacy, doctor's surgery, supermarket, takeaway and other specialty shops.

Blackmans Bay beach is a ten minute walk away where you will find 2 excellent restaurants: The Beach House and Jack Loves Red. Also Bombay in the Bay for the BEST Indian food!

Kingston Beach is about ten minutes' walk away, in the other direction, which has a café strip and other shops. Both beaches have lovely cliff-top walks.

19 Blue is central for all the major tourist destinations; the Huon Valley, D'Entrecasteaux Channel with the ferry over to Bruny Island just twenty minutes drive away. Port Arthur is around one and a half hour's drive. Hobart with all that our lovely capital city has to offer just a short drive away.

The country or the city, mountain and beach are right on your doorstep at 19 Blue.

The house was cozy and comfortable with a well working heater. Check-in was straightforward and welcoming.The house is conveniently positioned not too far from shops and a good walk to Kingston Beach for some exercise and coffee. The gardens around the cottage are pretty and provide a couple of sitting spots for relaxing and reading a book.I look forward to my next trip to Blackmans Bay.

Little home away from home!

We loved our stay at 19 Blue! Such hospitable thoughtful hosts and there wasn't one thing to fault. Loved the fresh homemade bread and jam, and the fresh eggs and bacon. The location was also perfect to explore the Hobart surrounding areas during our first few days in Tassie. Highly recommended! Thanks Judith and Chris!

What a Gem!

Spent 10 days at 16 Blue and loved every minute of it. Cute, compact little cottage, very private with a beautiful garden. 10 out of 10 for our hosts, Judith and Chris, in providing the personal touches that make a property special. It was a lovely haven to return home to after a day of exploring. Blackmans Bay Beach is beautiful, as is the next bay across, Boronia Beach, both within easy walking distance. Would throughly recommend.

Home away from Home

What a wonderful stay we had at 19 Blue! The cottage was beautifully appointed, so very comfortable, and we appreciated the thoughtfulness that had gone into the needs of the traveller. The generous provision of breakfast items was most welcome. We especially loved the peaceful setting, the trees and cottage garden, the bird life to observe, and of course, the chooks! The owners, Judith and Chris, were very welcoming, considerate and helpful. We look forward to another stay at 19 Blue, our home away from home! Thank you for a memorable 5 days at 19 Blue.

A wonderful stay!

We recently gave ourselves a short break from grandparent activities and had a most wonderful stay at 19 Blue. The location suited us perfectly: a short zippy trip into Hobart, and easy access to Bruny Island, Cygnet and southern bays and forests. In addition 19 Blue is gorgeous; lovely garden with cornflowers and Cecil Brunner roses together with home bottled fruit and organic broad beans to pick. Loved the chooks too, didn't have to waste any food scraps. The cottage is really comfortable and set up with such care and consideration. Hosts Judith and Chris are friendly, caring and absolutely considerate. We'd love to return.

excellent property

We were very happy with our choice of 19 Blue for our Tasmanian holiday. We arrived late in the evening and were welcomed into a warm and inviting dwelling. Breakfast supplies meant we did not have to rush to the shops. We found that all our basic needs were covered and we enjoyed the little luxury touches. Our hosts were most caring and willing to help in any way possible.
