Stone Flower is a 1830s barn that has been transformed into a unique, comfortable and luxurious one bed accommodation. Fully equipped, self contained and private, it is centrally located within minutes of all the best that Hobart has to offer. The city is a short 15 minute walk away & Salamanca Place, 25 minutes. A short Taxi or Uber ride to the waterfront or North Hobart costs around $8-10.
The space
Stone Flower is a beautiful, light-filled, multi-level dwelling which flawlessly harmonizes the richness of its historical past with comforts of modern day life. This unique property has been creatively transformed and provides privacy and comfort. Please enjoy it!
The upstairs space, is bathed in natural light and sits under a soaring cathedral ceiling. From the stunning bedroom with its deliciously comfortable queen-size bed you step up into the open plan bathroom featuring a large wet area shower, mirrored cupboards, and gorgeous vanity all enveloped in the warmth of timber and stone. The old barn's original ladder now serves as a unique towel rack! Guest amenities are provided.
Downstairs, there is an open plan living area perfect for relaxing with a good book or for watching a movie on Netflix, Stan, or free to air TV. And the best of Australian contemporary furniture is yours to enjoy. Step down into the fully equipped, gourmet kitchen and cook up a storm. Culinary delights are available from several conveniently located grocers including the much loved Hill St Grocer, Salamanca Fresh, Wursthaus Kitchen, Salamanca Market (on Saturday), Farmgate Market (8:30-1:00pm Sundays), as well as the normal supermarkets. The custom built dining table has been recycled from beams left over from the renovation and seats four people.
There is under floor heating both upstairs and downstairs and a panel heater in the bedroom. There is also a small private outdoor area for guest to enjoy and parking for one car.
