Showcasing elegant and stylish interior it includes a luxurious king bed and 2 king singles (that can be converted to a King), modern kitchen and bathroom plus off-street parking. The Space: ‘Portsea Place’ is a row of elegant c1860 Georgian townhouses that originally functioned as a boarding house to accommodate dock workers, travellers and business merchants. Recent renovations have transformed them into boutique hotel-style apartments brimming with loads of character, styled in sumptuous contemporary finishes and furnished with all the mod-cons. Renovated in December 2024, the residence retains many of its vintage origins, with the semi basement flat offering a unique experience for guests. Accessed via the rear of the building, its comfortable layout features a living area with seating, chairs and a 50” smart TV, a dining table with seating and two generous bedrooms with a king bed, and 2 king singles (that can be converted to a king on request). There’s a new open-plan kitchen with modern cooking facilities, appliances and utensils plus a fridge and a modernised bathroom. Additional features include car parking, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a mounted 50 " smart TV, new carpet, high-quality mattress, bedding and pillows. Steeped in the fabric of Hobart’s colonial history and clear of any ghosts from the past, the townhouses were originally named ‘Portsea Place’ but became known as ‘Portsea Terrace’ in the 1890s .‘Portsea Place’ is thought to have been named in honour of one of the original tenants, Phineas Moss, who had immigrated to Van Diemen’s Land from Portsea, Hampshire, England. Jewish by religion and a pillar of society, a picture still stands in his honour at the Hobart Synagogue. The Neighborhood: Widely regarded as the best-preserved colonial-era suburb in Australia, Battery Point wasnamed in 1818 Hobart’s first suburb. Peppered with a mix of charming original dockworkers and cottages, merchant-class mansions, nostalgic pubs and repurposed landmark buildings, the area is now a trendy cosmopolitan hub with everything that’s anything only a short stroll away. Stepping out the door is like taking a trip down memory lane, the popular Little Amsterdam Café is directly across the road with its award-winning coffee. From there it’s only 230m to Jackman and McRoss Bakery, renowned for the famous “scallop pie” and also a pretty mean croissant! The Shipwrights Arms Hotel or “Shippies” was built c1846, it’s a great space to grab a pint, soak in the ambience and contemplate what it was like in its heyday! Retreat to St David’s Park just 270m away or drift two minutes down the street to the waterside Salamanca Place, Hobarts’ hip and happening hotspot with its original sandstone warehouses now converted into top-quality restaurants and bars. Every Saturday, Salamanca Drive is closed off to form “Salamanca Markets”, it’s actually Hobart’s number one tourist destination and an institution for the locals. A vibrant festival of fresh produce, hand-crafted gifts and bespoke clothing melds with street food, pop-up cafes andlive performers. The highly rated Da Angelo Italian Ristorante is a three minute wander away (make sure you book in advance) and it’s only a six-minute walk to the Mona Ferry, Constitution Dock (of Sydney to Hobart fame) or the Hobart CBD with its galleries, landmark buildings and more food and wine options. For a change of scene, walk or take a bus up to North Hobart’s trendy cuisine scene where the locals hang. If you make the trip, its worth booking ahead to dine at Bar Wa Izakawa, a highly acclaimed Japanese fusion restaurant. No trip to Hobart is complete without tasting the famed wilderness and panoramic views over the city and the mighty Derwent River from Kunanyi (Mount Wellington), and it’s only a 20 minute drive. Head south 10 minutes to Long Beach for breakfast by the water, continue on to Kingston Beach for lunch or drive 30 minutes down the coast to Kettering and catch the ferry (with your car) to picturesque Bruny Island where you can drive around, take in its natural beauty and sample local fresh food, wine and whiskey. Recommended day trips include the Derwent Valley (Richmond), Huon Valley or historic Port Arthur. Other Things to Note: Parking for one standard passenger vehicle is available.
