About this property
19 Blue in Blackmans Bay A Touch of Country in the Suburbs!
Set in the owner's lovely, cottage garden, 19 Blue is a little oasis in this pretty suburb so close to the beach and other attractions.
19 Blue is a one bedroom, self-contained holiday cottage situated in the lovely beach-side suburb of Blackmans Bay. It has a folding cot and bedding which can accommodate up to a 2 year old child. Just fifteen minutes from Hobart, it makes an ideal base for all your Southern Tasmanian tourism destinations.
So many guests describe 19 Blue as "A home away from home" !
19 Blue has been furnished and equipped with love and care: homely country style furniture with lots of little extras much appreciated by guests. Homemade soap in the bathroom. You can even buy Soap and Body Care Products and some lovely jams and chutneys made by the owners.
A verandah runs the full length of the back of the cottage which overlooks Blackmans Bay. A private deck, at the front, makes an ideal place for a relaxing drink or a sunny morning breakfast. The cottage overlooks the owner's vegetable garden from which you may pick vegetables for your own needs. At present there are two pademelons (small wallabies) delighting our guests........
Parking is off street.
19 Blue is fully equipped with a queen size bed and laundry facilities. The kitchen has a cooktop and microwave oven.
The laundry has a washing machine with a tub dry feature then you only need to hang your washing out on the line or over the clothes airer for a short time.
We provide a loaf of homemade bread on arrival! You will find free range eggs from the owner's chooks, muesli or Weetbix. Leaf Tea or tea bags, ground coffee or instant.
The cottage is well insulated with double glazing. Heating is a reverse cycle heat pump keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer.
The lounge area has a television/DVD player with magazines and a folder with day trip itinerary suggestions. CD's and a good range of DVD's are provided as are board games.
The Bayview Shopping centre is just down the road with a newsagency, pharmacy, doctor's surgery, supermarket, takeaway and other specialty shops.
Blackmans Bay beach is a ten minute walk away where you will find 2 excellent restaurants: The Beachouse and Jack Loves Red. Also Bombay in the Bay for the BEST Indian food!
Kingston Beach is about ten minutes' walk away, in the other direction, which has a cafe strip and other shops. Both beaches have lovely cliff-top walks.
19 Blue is central for all the major tourist destinations; the Huon Valley, D'Entrecasteaux Channel with the ferry over to Bruny Island just twenty minutes drive away. Port Arthur is around one and a half hour's drive. Hobart with all that our lovely capital city has to offer just a short drive in.
The country or the city, mountain and beach are right on your doorstep at 19 Blue.

About the host
Hosted by Judith Cornish
Hi There,
We are the owners of 19 Blue self contained Holiday Cottage in Blackmans Bay. We also run a Business called Live History in which we bring the history of Tasmania to life using our skills as actors. Each day at 12 Noon we can be seen performing our iconic play Her Story. It is set in the Cascades Female Factory & tells the story of a convict woman. It's done in Strolling Theatre style so, by the end, you also know a lot about the history of convict women. Guests staying at 19 Blue can see us setting off in costume.......plus of course you are encouraged to come & see our performance. Some people say it is the highlight of their stay in Tasmania but that makes us BLUSH!!!
We also love hosting our cottage of which we are very proud. We put a lot of love & care into making your stay comfortable & just that little bit different. 19 Blue is furnished with eclectic things all combining to give a country feel. The home made bread, jam & eggs from our own chooks are delicious! You are welcome to come down & visit the chooks & bring them your food scraps & also pick any, in season, fruit & veggies from our garden. 19 Blue is the very opposite of a slick, bland, hotel chain! It has character & soul... You can purchase our own jams & chutneys plus our lovely homemade soaps too which make lovely holiday gifts.
We respect your privacy but are also on hand to help & advise & welcome you down for a cuppa or glass of wine if you are the sociable types!!
