### Mr Watson's Cottage in Battery Point

Summary:  
Experience your time in Hobart by basing yourself in one of the historic 'Mr Watson's Cottages', originally built to accommodate workers from the nearby shipyards in the mid 1800's. A quaint space featuring 2 bedrooms, an outdoor courtyard, fully equipped modern kitchen. Bonus off-street parking in what was formerly a horse and cart lane behind the cottage completes this gorgeous experience in picturesque Battery Point.  
  
The Space:  
Staying at 10 Napoleon Street in Battery Point offers a quintessential Hobart experience in a charming, historic setting. This property is perfectly positioned on a quiet street, enveloped in Battery Point's old-world character. With its elegant architecture and tasteful interiors, it’s ideal for couples seeking a peaceful and romantic getaway.  
  
Inside, guests will find comfortable furnishings with attention to detail that blends modern convenience with period charm. Accommodating two guests, the space provides a cozy yet refined atmosphere, with amenities that cater to comfort and relaxation. Large windows allow for plenty of natural light, offering views of Battery Point’s charming rooftops and streetscapes, and there's a well-equipped kitchen and a cozy lounge for unwinding after a day of exploring.  
  
10 Napoleon Street is just a short walk from Battery Point’s highlights, including Arthur Circus, the historic heart of the area, and some of Hobart's best cafes and restaurants. The proximity to Salamanca Place and the waterfront adds to the convenience, with the Salamanca Market and numerous art galleries, boutiques, and eateries nearby.   
  
This property, however, is not suitable for children under 12, making it an intimate retreat best suited for adults looking to enjoy the history, dining, and ambiance that Battery Point offers.  
  
Guest Access:  
The entire cottage is yours to enjoy privately during your stay.  
  
The Neighborhood:  
Battery Point is one of Hobart's most charming and historic neighborhoods, known for its picturesque 19th-century sandstone cottages, narrow streets, and captivating waterfront views. Visitors are drawn to its unique blend of history, character, and walkability, making it a perfect destination for those who love to explore on foot.  
  
Originally a mariner's village, Battery Point has retained much of its old-world charm, with heritage buildings and iconic sites like Arthur Circus—a small, circular park surrounded by beautifully preserved Georgian cottages. The area offers a window into Hobart's colonial past while also boasting boutique cafes, artisan shops, and gourmet eateries, adding a modern touch to its historical appeal.  
  
Battery Point’s location is another highlight: it’s just a short walk from Salamanca Place, home to the famous Salamanca Market, and the vibrant Hobart waterfront. Visitors can enjoy the scenic Derwent River views, stroll along historic pathways, or even take part in one of the local walking tours that delve into the area’s rich maritime history.  
  
Getting Around:  
Getting around Battery Point is easy, as it’s a compact, pedestrian-friendly area ideal for walking. Many of the neighborhood’s charming sites, cafes, and shops are just a short stroll apart, and the narrow streets lend themselves to a relaxed, leisurely pace.  
  
For those looking to explore further, Battery Point connects seamlessly with nearby Salamanca Place and the Hobart waterfront, both accessible by a 10-15 minute walk. From there, visitors can enjoy ferry rides, like the MONA ferry to the Museum of Old and New Art, or take advantage of the bus services that connect Hobart’s main attractions. Battery Point is also well-connected to Hobart’s central business district, just a 20-minute walk away, giving visitors easy access to additional dining, shopping, and entertainment options without needing a car.  
  
While street parking is available, it can be limited due to Battery Point's historic, narrow streets. Many visitors find walking or using Hobart's public transport options more convenient and enjoyable. For travelers who prefer biking, Hobart has several bike paths, and many rental companies offer bikes or e-bikes, perfect for navigating Battery Point and its surrounds.  
  
Interaction with Guests:  
We are only a message or call away if you encounter any issues or have any questions during your stay.  
  
Please note that when booking and paying by card, a small fee will appear on your statement as a “ReslyPay” charge. This fee is set by the booking platform and is not controlled by us. Thank you for your understanding.
