About the host
Hosted by Phillip Ellis Wells
I’m happiest when I’m in the water. I have been a Master swimmer for many years and hold a number of State records. I surf most days and scuba dive on a regular basis.
While I am now retired I remain passionate about education and help out the local school where I now live. I have held a number of teaching positions overseas and for the last 15 years of my career held the role of Headmaster/Principal. My last position was running a community school on the Falkland Islands.
I started my working life completing a building apprenticeship. The skills learnt during this period have been invaluable in renovating houses. The house at Glebe was purchased approximately 20 years ago in a semi derelict state. The renovation of the house has been completed by me in a number of stages as time permitted. At the time of purchase Glebe was a forgotten or unknown suburb of Hobart but over the years due to it close walking proximity to Hobart it has become highly desirable.
Prior to leaving for the Falkland Islands I decided to airbnb the Ellis Cottage, Glebe. This has now turned into my retirement job and I love nothing more than proving a beautiful home for guests to relax and enjoy.

Why they chose this property
I was born in Hobart, Tasmania and despite spending many years overseas love this beautiful State of Australia. While studying Design at University I developed a love for period architecture and a passion for renovating. The suburb of Glebe, sitting on the edge of the Hobart CBD, and importantly located within walking distance to the Hobart Aquatic Centre was the perfect location to purchase a period cottage. Walking access to so many amenities and services makes Glebe a wonderfully convenient place to stay. I am confident you will agree.
