The open plan kitchen, dining living area is newly renovated this year and is a generous, warm and welcoming space with stunning views from all rooms.. Accommodation is provided by 5 bedrooms all very generous in size as well as a substantial, dedicated home office on the lower level. Upstairs boasts the newly renovated master suite with brand new ensuite adjoining sitting room and an upstairs balcony. 3 other bedrooms and a bathroom are located upstairs. The home is kept comfortable and warm with ducted heating in the main living areas and also offers the ambience of cosy wood heating options. Options for entertaining are plentiful with a gorgeous terrace at the rear that flows from the dining room as well as a covered veranda at the front of the home, ideal for taking in the afternoon sun and watching the MONA ferry pass by. Opening from the dining is a sun drenched courtyard perfect for sheltered entertaining. The manicured and stunning landscaped grounds are filled with sandstone walls, perfect lawns and established trees. The large front lawn has been designed as a croquet lawn and you can find croquet, boules and bowls equipment at the home. The orchard also has a swing set and trampoline for the children. Ideally located in the popular bayside suburb of Lindisfarne, the home is less than 10 minutes to Hobart's CBD, 15 minutes to the airport and a short walk to Lindisfarne Village with all it has to offer including cafes, shops, parks and reserves and public transport.

This part of the Lindisfarne waterfront is lined by beautiful heritage homes that enjoy spectacular water & mountain views as well as fantastic peace & privacy. The location is safe, an easy walk to local cafes, supermarket & food-outlets. It's an easy 10min. drive to the Hobart CBD, 8min. drive to Eastlands mall or Bellerive Beach. Nearby Natone Hill & the waterfront walkway provide local walking & cycling trails & the nearby Geilston Bay & Meehan Range recreational areas provide great local mountain biking options!

While proximity to local shopping & dining as well as proximity to Hobart city centre does allow for travel by bicycle, taxi or public transport we recommend a car to get the most from your holiday. Off-street parking is provided but there is no garage.

Expansive attractive home great location
We took three generations of family and spouses spread across 5 bedrooms and two floors for a milestone birthday celebration. Our small children delighted in the orchard, trampoline, gardens and toys and books provided. Grown ups enjoyed the many rooms and outdoor spaces with aspect to the beautiful garden and, of course, the river. The house is very well fitted out and comfortable. A second bike would be a useful addition so a couple could ride along the river.

A real Gem
What a wonderful home with everything you could ever need for a home away from home experience. Spacious and every comfort you could need with unbelievable views. Peta-Jane couldn’t have been more welcoming with her easy going flexible communication approach. We would definitely recommend Derwent River villa to anyone looking for a home from home stay.
