Summary:

“Mawson’s Villa” - a modern and comfortable retreat inspired by the legendary Antarctic explorer Sir Douglas Mawson. This stylish two-bedroom villa features secure garage parking, beautiful Mount Wellington views, reverse-cycle air conditioning, and a private outdoor entertaining area perfect for relaxing after a day of adventure. Conveniently located just a 10-minute walk to Eastlands Shopping Centre and only 10 minutes from Hobart Airport, the CBD, and Salamanca.



The Space:

The primary bedroom at Mawson’s Villa is a warm and elegant retreat, featuring a beautifully styled King-size bed dressed in quality linens for a restful night after a day exploring Hobart and beyond. A Smart TV and DVD offers the perfect opportunity to unwind in comfort — much like an explorer returning to shelter after a day’s expedition.



The second bedroom also features a luxurious King bed, while double glazing throughout the villa ensures peace and quiet for a truly relaxing stay.



For guests who enjoy cooking, the modern kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need, including a dishwasher and microwave. Though with Hobart’s incredible cafés, restaurants, and waterfront dining just moments away, you may prefer to sample the local flavours instead.



The laundry includes a convenient washer/dryer combo, while the fully enclosed private backyard features an outdoor dining area and BBQ — the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed meal, morning coffee, or evening drink while planning your next Tasmanian adventure.



Mawson’s Villa also includes WiFi, board games, and all the modern comforts needed for a relaxing and memorable stay for couples, families, business travellers, or fellow adventurers.



Guest Access:

Guests have full access to the entire holiday home, including the bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, backyard, laundry room, and garage. Enjoy amenities such as air conditioning, a BBQ grill, and secure parking.



The Neighborhood:

Perfectly positioned for modern-day explorers, Mawson’s Villa places you within easy reach of Hobart’s best attractions and conveniences. Hobart’s largest shopping centre, Eastlands, is just a 10-minute walk away, offering supermarkets, specialty stores, cafés, Village Cinemas, and popular dining options including McDonald’s, KFC, Subway, and Nando’s.



Ninja Stadium — home of the Hobart Hurricanes and North Melbourne AFL games — along with Bellerive Village and Bellerive Beach, are only a pleasant 15–20 minute walk away. A nearby bus stop also makes navigating your Hobart adventure simple and convenient.



Hobart’s CBD, Salamanca Place, and Hobart Airport are all just a quick 10-minute drive from the villa, while some of Tasmania’s finest vineyards and cellar doors can be reached within 15 minutes. Whether you’re discovering waterfront cafés, mountain landscapes, or cool-climate wineries, Mawson’s Villa is the perfect expedition base for your Tasmanian journey.



Getting Around:

Like any great expedition, the best way to explore Hobart and Tasmania’s rugged beauty is by car, giving you the freedom to discover hidden beaches, mountain trails, vineyards, and charming coastal towns at your own pace. However, for those preferring public transport, there is a convenient bus stop just outside the villa with regular services travelling directly to Hobart’s CBD.



For a more scenic journey across the River Derwent, the nearby Bellerive Ferry offers a fast, enjoyable, and uniquely Tasmanian connection between the Eastern Shore and the heart of Hobart. The ferry terminal is only around a 10-minute walk from Mawson’s Villa, making it easy to leave the car behind and arrive in the city like a modern-day explorer crossing new waters.
