    My husband and I really enjoyed this sweet and cozy cottage. It was clean and had everything that we needed. It’s a quick drive or you can walk to everything you need. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely. The owner was quick to communicate and we loved the sweet surprise of a little honey upon arrival. On a beautiful afternoon, we enjoyed some snacks and wine in the back yard. We found the bed to be comfortable and loved the fireplace. My husband is 6’5 so he had a bit of trouble not hitting his head on a few of the low door jams but that’s part of the charm of a place built in the 1800’s! We would definitely stay here again if we ever make the journey back to Tasmania.

    We had a brilliant week at Star Cottage and loved being so close to the city while in a quiet area. It was wonderful to be in walking distance of the city, Cascade Brewery, Battery Point and the Derwent River, as well as having a supermarket and eateries so close. The cottage was snug and had both modern features as well as old world charm. Thank you Antonia and Robin!

    Star cottage is centrally located with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants all within walking distance. The cottage was plenty big for a young family and quite cosy with the fire going.
