Summary:
There’s space for all the family in this comfy home. With all the mod-cons and poised above the shores of Sandy Bay, take in the breathtaking 180 degree panoramas sweeping up and down the Derwent River to a dreamy landscape of mountainous wilderness beyond. Ideally located just 10 minutes from the Hobart CBD, it’s a destination in itself with the popular beachside cafés, restaurants and shops surrounding picturesque Long Beach all within a stroll or a couple of minutes’ drive of the doorstep.
The Space:
The ideal space and location for families to experience Hobart’s attractions and the very essence of Tasmania from the comfort of home with panoramic views of the Derwent River and wilderness as your backdrop and a gorgeous beachside village at the doorstep.
Gaze out from the deck to unobstructed 180 degree panorama that traces the mighty Derwent from the fringe of Hobart Village and the Tasman Bridge across to expansive hills of wilderness, hamlets across the river that glow and sparkle at night and down the coast to where the yachts and boats cruise in.
Focused around an extensive light filled living space with two separate three-seater lounges and a large flat screened TV that takes in the views and opens to the deck, the residence features a dining room with a four-seat table as well as a casual dining area with a table that seats four, drinks in the views and flows to the deck.
The residence sleeps up to eight people and comprises two king single beds on the entry level, and three bedrooms upstairs, with a queen in the main offering stunning views, a queen in the second bedroom and bunk bed in the third room, both of which also enjoy a great outlook.
The open plan island kitchen adjoins the casual dining area and comes complete with all the essentials including a dishwasher. The bathrooms are both comfortably modern, the main has separate shower and bath and there’s a separate laundry with a washer and dryer.
Additional features include a barbecue on the deck, rear courtyard and rear lawn, timber flooring, ducted and split-system air conditioning, and wifi connected to the smart TV.
Managed by a specialist Airbnb company, it is professionally cleaned after each guest vacates and all the sheets and bedding is maintained by a contract linen supplier.
