The original owner selected the block from several others to position the house with the most protection from easterly weather while enabling the best view across the river to the east, from the balcony built off the living area. The location and aspect of the balcony and living room make Ulmia one of the best Aurora viewing sites in the region…all without leaving the comfort of home… The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you’ll need to cook delicious meals at home. The smokeless fire pit doubles as a bbq which sears the perfect steak! A 40 minute scenic drive from Hobart, at the gateway to the Tasman Peninsula, and only 20 minutes to Hobart airport. Explore the dramatic coastal scapes of the Tasman Peninsula, with awe inspiring convict and early settler history. Port Arthur, Cape Raoul, Shipstern Bluff, Tasman Arch, tessellated pavement and Eaglehawk Neck are all a half day trip by car. The river is accessible via a basic jetty ramp, which is perfect for launching the kayak or “tinny”…or the most perfect secluded riverfront picnic spot. Expect the local ducks to swim up looking for morsels! At night, the smokeless fire pit is a great gathering point, or the freestanding wood heater is a cosy touch on colder nights; there are 2 heat pumps and 2 off peak heaters inside as well, so staying toasty warm in winter is never difficult. For a city trip and the numerous day trips from Ulmia, just pack a picnic lunch and head off, or sample lunch from the numerous establishments on offer, from country pubs to restaurants and wineries. Hobart is a beautiful 40 minute drive from Ulmia…and numerous activities from there will keep you as busy as your schedule allows. A ferry trip from Hobart docks to MONA is a favourite activity, the Lady Nelson tall ship also conducts participation sails around the Derwent River, with historical commentary of course. From Hobart, the stunning Huon and Derwent valleys offer delightful day trips by road, with endless sightseeing stops and guest attractions. Alternatively, just “retreating” at Ulmia is the houses original purpose, with a delightful sunroom at the front, perfect for reading -or just sitting. There is a cosy TV room with smart TV and wifi is supplied free of charge. The gardens are fully maintained and always looking their best; numerous little nooks and seats, paved areas and lawns, all offset by a cute little boathouse at the bottom of the garden. This space is the ultimate in privacy and seclusion, positioned directly over the riverbank. Perfect for art, yoga or meditation, a very special little spot. Ulmia is built for privacy, relaxation and pleasure…enjoy! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![View from room](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/23000000/22220000/22215600/22215553/7c1c36aa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Flotsam Studio Accommodation Dunalley - Kitchen - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 52 reviews £139 includes taxes & fees 17 Nov - 18 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-17&endDate=2025-11-18&selected=22215553&PinnedHotelID=22215553&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118820000/118813200/118813188/6dd187ac.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Seascape Cottage Headland Stay near Whale Watching Dodges Ferry - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=118813188&PinnedHotelID=118813188&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117280000/117276500/117276486/0426c73a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beachfront Estate with Tennis Court Roches Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=117276486&PinnedHotelID=117276486&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96980000/96973900/96973813/b31dd5b5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Escape to Coastal Tranquility - 400m from Primrose Sands Beach Primrose Sands - Washer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 7 reviews £252 includes taxes & fees 11 Nov - 12 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=96973813&PinnedHotelID=96973813&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34620000/34613900/34613882/8852e598.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dolphin View Beach House Primrose Sands - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 107 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-24&endDate=2025-11-25&selected=34613882&PinnedHotelID=34613882&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34670000/34666600/34666510/8bf5f620.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Relax, Restore and Explore at The Sandy Sister Dodges Ferry - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 37 reviews £156 includes taxes & fees 12 Nov - 13 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=34666510&PinnedHotelID=34666510&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a private host (a party not acting within their trade, business or profession).
