Summary:
Welcome to "The Villa" - a modern home with a secure garage, just a 10-minute walk from Hobart's largest shopping centre and a 10-minute drive from the airport and city centre. Relax in the stylish outdoor entertaining area, complete with a BBQ. Inside, find reverse cycle air conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms.
The Space:
The main bedroom is beautifully furnished with elegant bedlinen and an extremely comfortable queen-size bed — the perfect place to unwind after your day’s adventures exploring Hobart. There’s even a wall-mounted Smart TV so you can curl up and relax in comfort, much like an explorer retreating to base camp after a long expedition.
The second bedroom features two comfortable single beds, while double glazing throughout the villa ensures a peaceful night’s sleep. In the lounge, one of the sofas converts into a comfortable sofa bed, offering extra flexibility for families or small groups.
If you feel like cooking, the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, including a dishwasher and microwave. Although with so many fantastic cafés, restaurants, and waterfront dining options nearby, you may prefer to leave the cooking to Hobart’s locals.
The laundry includes a convenient washer/dryer combo, and outside you’ll find a fully fenced private backyard with outdoor seating — the ideal place for a morning coffee or evening BBQ before planning your next Tasmanian adventure.
Of course, the villa also includes WiFi, board games, a DVD player, and DVDs to help keep everyone entertained during your stay at Shackleton’s Villa.
