Captains Cottage, 1850

A postcard-perfect, heritage-listed cottage in the heart of Hobart, Captain’s Cottage was built for a ship’s captain in the mid 1800s, with the land title first granted in 1826. Brimming with authentic heritage charm, the cottage was lovingly transformed into a romantic escape by owners Kylie and Sean.

With curated vintage collections and a mix of natural-textured fabrics and furnishings, the cottage is warm and cosy – perfect for couples and solo travellers. Capturing the spirit of Old Hobart, the cottage remains one of the city’s most-loved historic stays.

With a fitting vintage portrait of a very handsome Captain, and queen size bed with luxurious Belgian flax linen sheets. After a dreamy sleep, slowly awaken to morning light filtering through the window above.

If you love to cook, there’s a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to make the most of Tasmania’s fresh local produce, as well as cookbooks for inspiration. In the pantry, you’ll find cooking staples, ground coffee beans and a range of teas, along with some gourmet treats.

Captains Cottage also has a private courtyard garden filled with camellias and rambling roses, overlooking the historic roofs and chimneys of inner Hobart, a lovely little spot to relax. A treasured destination for travellers to Tasmania, Captains Cottage invites you to step back in time and experience Hobart’s heritage.
