About this property

Kelly Street Cottage in Battery Point

Summary:
Positioned in one of historic Battery Point's most picturesque streets and only metres from Salamanca Place, you will find heritage-listed Kelly Street Cottage. Beautifully furnished interiors are complimented by a private courtyard surrounded with cottage gardens. Conveniently located around the corner from Jackman & McRoss bakery and down the road from the Prince of Wales Tavern. Complimentary off-street parking and WiFi is offered to all guests.

The Space:
Kelly Street Cottage is a charming two-level retreat nestled in the historic heart of Battery Point. Downstairs, you’ll find a cozy bedroom, a beautifully styled lounge, and an open kitchen equipped with essentials for self-catering. The breakfast bar seats four, perfect for casual dining (note: there is no formal dining table at the property), and the nearby bathroom includes a convenient walk-in shower.

Upstairs is a spacious loft area with a queen bed at one end and a single bed at the other, with an additional pull-out single if needed—please refer to photos and additional notes in the listing for details.

Outside, a delightful courtyard surrounded by cottage gardens provides a lovely spot to relax in the afternoon sun after exploring Hobart. Panel heaters keep the cottage cozy on both levels.

Laundry facilities with a washer and dryer are located in a shed in the parking area, which is shared with the two neighbouring apartments. Kelly Street Cottage also offers off-street parking for one vehicle, and an extra spot may be available on request.

At the end of the street you will find Kelly Street Steps, built in 1840 by adventurer James Kelly, connecting Battery Point with Salamanca Place and the bustling wharf precinct. Enjoy the historic ambiance, architecture, and tranquility of one of Hobart’s most desirable suburbs. We look forward to welcoming you to Kelly Street Cottage!

For larger groups, the adjoining apartments are also available for booking: Apartment 1 accommodates up to 4 guests, and Apartment 2 is perfect for 2 guests. See the floor plan in the listing photos for an accurate layout of the cottage.

Guest Access:
The cottage, courtyard and 1 x off-street parking space are exclusively yours for the duration of your stay.
