We want to offer visitors to Hobart a unique & luxurious accommodation experience, which connects modern design with its rugged, bush environment.

Located in West Hobart, we are a short 8 minute drive to the Salamanca water front. Our 2 story house is nestled in a private bushy street, with amazing views of the Derwent River, South Hobart, Sandy Bay & beyond.

The home is spacious and private, yet surrounded by (harmless) local wildlife. You will see many wallabies grazing on the property.

The space
Slow Beam is an architecturally designed house, created specifically for a unique Hobart getaway. You can expect to experience Australian design and artworks by the likes of Grant Featherston, Esther Stewart, Anna Varendorff, Ebony Truscott, Kirsten Perry and Fred Ganim.

Every window view has been considered by the designer, Hearth Studio. Not just the expansive river and city views, but also to provide glimpses throughout the house to the natural sandstone and bush surroundings.

We provide complimentary Taylor & Smith Cocktails, sparkling water, locally roasted coffee and Le Labo toiletries to all of our guests.

We have a fully functioning kitchen, with an induction cooktop, oven and dishwasher - and all the trimmings of a home kitchen.

As for perishables, we provide the basics: Olive oil, salt and pepper, tea, coffee and sparkling water.

We have a laundry equipped with a sink and washer/dryer, aswell as laundry detergent, a clothes horse, a small iron with ironing board.

We have a fireplace (with ample fire wood provided) and ducted heating and cooling throughout the house.

The house was built from the ground up, in 2019.

Guest access
When you are a guest at Slow Beam, you have exclusive access to the house and grounds. We are set on a quarter acre block, very steep, surrounded by trees, wallabies and other native wildlife, with views of the Derwent River and beyond. Feel free to roam high up into the backyard.

We also have a private driveway and parking space, which is available to all guests throughout the duration of the stay.

Other things to note
We are pleased to offer all of our guests a very late check out of 2pm.

Due to the nature of the dark walls and ceilings, and mood lighting, we must mention that of an evening, some parts of the house have very low available light.

Access to the house is up a steep driveway, two sets of stairs and a gravel pathway.
