The Neighborhood:
"The Lookout Holiday House sits on Hobart’s sunny Eastern Shore in the peaceful suburb of Bellerive — one of the city’s most sought-after areas. Just down the road, you’ll find Salamanca Fresh (19 Clarence Street), a boutique grocer stocked with fresh Tasmanian produce and gourmet essentials.
You’re only a 3-minute drive to Eastlands, Tasmania’s largest shopping centre, with restaurants, cafes, and the Blundstone Arena nearby — perfect if you’re in town for cricket or football. The Hobart CBD is an easy 10-minute drive away, or you can stroll or take a short drive to Bellerive Quay and hop on the ferry across the beautiful Derwent River.
The popular Bellerive Beach is just 3 minutes from your door, and for nature lovers, there’s direct access to a scenic bushwalking and bike track right across the road.
Getting around
Getting Around:
We recommend hiring a car to take advantage of what Southern Tasmania has to offer. There is a great bus service that runs regulating down the road from the house in Clarence Street, as well as the ferry at Bellerive Quay.
