Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
White Barn is a barn-style, ultra-modern sanctuary 1.5km from the city for couples, families or small groups in the inner city suburb of West Hobart. White Barn is a private two-bedroom house designed to take in the sunny northerly aspect and encompasses many contemporary design features, making our guests feel like they won’t want to leave.

White Barn is centrally located 600m from the North Hobart cafe/restaurant strip; 1.5km from the city, 2km from the waterfront and 15 min drive to MONA.

The space
Featured in Adore magazine’s winter 2024 edition, White Barn is a modern 70m2 two bedroom, one bathroom standalone barn-style house located on a private internal block with free unlimited WiFi for guests to take advantage of. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area has a cathedral ceiling, and the barn has brand new, excellent quality SMEG appliances and white goods. The interior and outdoor spaces have been carefully designed to maximise our guests’ comfort and relaxation.

The kitchen and bathroom have been designed with a distinct Scandinavian feel with bespoke joinery throughout. The open-plan living/kitchen area and one of the bedrooms feature custom-built pop-out window bench seating to cosy into whilst reading a book, enjoying the all day sun or relaxing with a cuppa.

The bathroom features a stunning raked ceiling, a walk-in shower with brass tap ware, terrazzo flooring and an airy neutral colour palette with a skylight positioned over the shower. The skylight ensures an abundance of natural light in the bathroom.

Both bedrooms include ample built-in wardrobe space, with the main bedroom featuring a large pop-out window with bench seating and a bespoke built-in desk area for those who need a space to fire up the laptop. Both bedrooms have comfy queen size beds with custom-built bed heads and bedside tables.

There is a deck for guests to enjoy their breakfast, a drink of an evening or simply soaking up the all day sun.

There is off street parking for one car, behind secure gates.

We welcome families with children of all ages and provide a portacot (guests to provide own linen) and high chair (upon request at time of booking) free-of-charge. There are also children’s toys and books at the property, as well as a fantastic park directly across the road (John Doggett Park) with recently refurbished toilets, bbq and picnic facilities.
