Nestled within Hobart’s inner city residential district, Captains Cottage has a storied past, originally built for a ship’s captain in the mid-1800s. This gorgeous heritage listed cottage has become an iconic Hobart stay.

Whether indulging in a luxurious bath where our courtyard garden view will enchant the senses, or exploring the vibrant Hobart culinary scene and landmark areas of Constitution Dock, Salamanca and Battery Point, Captains Cottage offers an unforgettable stay for two.

The space
Lovingly created as a romantic escape within a city environment, our guests enjoy retreating back to this cosy space after an adventurous day of sight-seeing.

Our loft bedroom has a queen size bed with luxury 100% Dutch Flax linen sheets - a dream to sleep in. And if you love to cook, we have a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need to make the most of the fresh local produce.

The Captains Cottage bathroom includes a deep claw foot bath for long luxurious soaking, with views through French doors to our whimsical courtyard garden. Our courtyard garden is adored by our guests and used all year round for morning coffee while listening to birdsong, or afternoon drinks as the Tasmanian sky turns candy pink.

With a mix of natural-textured fabrics and furnishings the cottage is warm and cosy, with various heating sources throughout, and is equipped with everything to make your stay a memorable one.

Guest access
You have the whole cottage and courtyard garden to yourself! Access into Captains Cottage is easy. We have a key lock box and will provide you with a code before your arrival. Off street parking is available for one vehicle (located across the street in a dedicated parking bay).

The surrounding area is filled with popular cafes, Hobart’s hottest restaurants and talented chefs, craft breweries for the beer lovers and trendy bars, and local larders to sample the best Tasmanian produce.

We take pride in fostering inclusivity at Captains Cottage, where guests from all backgrounds and community are warmly welcome.

Other things to note
Our shower is over a step in bath and access to the loft bedroom is via the original heritage steep stairs, so this listing may not suit those who have mobility issues.

We stock a basic pantry with ground coffee, a variety of teas, milk, sugar, salt, pepper, olive oil, Tasmanian sparkling water, plus some treats.
