"Baker's Cottage" in Historic Richmond, Sleeps 6.

Summary:
Get ready to step back in time? Located in the heart of the historic Richmond Village, just a short stroll to shopping and sightseeing options, 26 minutes from Hobart City and 21 minutes from Hobart Airport. The perfect base to explore everything Southern Tasmania has to offer.

This newly renovated gorgeous 1830s cottage is full of charm and character, with an open plan kitchen and dining room, bathroom/laundry, separate toilet, formal lounge, 3 generous sized bedrooms and a beautiful sunroom.

The Space:
"Bakers Cottage" is rich in history yet has a very homely feel that is both in keeping with the time, and being comfortable and convenient.

There are three bedrooms - two with Queen beds, the third with two King Single beds. We can also provide a portable cot and highchair for infants on request.

A large airy kitchen with all modern conveniences, including dishwasher and microwave.

A comfy lounge room with TV and free WiFi.

The bathroom provides towels and all toiletries, as well as a front loading washing machine for laundry needs.

Step out of the open plan kitchen onto newly laid paving and enjoy alfresco dining complete with BBQ and garden views. The surrounding gardens truly complement the cottage with a mixture of nectarine, apricot, peach, fuji apple, granny smith, pink lady apple, mandarin, lime, lemon, orange, redcurrant and bay trees.

Ample off street parking is provided for multiple vehicles.

Guest Access:
Guests have full use of the home for the duration of their stay.

The Neighborhood:
Richmond is one of Tasmania's most popular visitor destinations, showcasing Tasmanian colonial heritage at every turn. Heritage-listed buildings and features are found on almost every street, so that even a casual evening stroll offers insights into early colonial life.
Richmond Village is situated in the Coal River Valley, one of Australia's first food bowls supplying new settlers in Tasmania. Agricultural enterprises continue to this day, supplying local chefs and cooks with a abundance of meats, berries, stone-fruit, vegetables, chocolate, honey and dairy products to accompany the region's famous wines, ciders and beers.

Deciding whether it’s a long Sunday lunch or a cosy fireside dinner, options abound. Relax whilst someone else cooks for you, pack your own picnic and head down to the Village Green, or perhaps a BBQ at home the cottage

Getting Around:
A car is a must, but there is a bus service that travels to and from Richmond to Hobart, timetable information available online. Uber and Taxis are also available.

The Baker's cottage was wonderfully close to the town of Richmond. A few minutes walk and you were on the main street. The cottage is compact, however clean and neat inside and kitchen had all items required except the coffee machine that was listed. The only minor downside was the lack of opening windows in the bedrooms and no screen doors to the house. It meant the house did get quite hot overnight when you had to close up. One split system in the loungeroom didn't reach the bedrooms to have an impact on the temperature. This wouldn't be a problem if travelling in a season other than Summer. Can recommend Baker's cottage for its charm, location and comfy beds.

Cute, warm and cosy property
Well presented property. Very clean and tidy with a welcoming atmosphere. Good sized back yard for kids ball games. Very conveniently located close to Main Street of Richmond ( within easy walking distance). A very quiet location. Beautiful front sunroom. All furnishings in the home were top quality and extremely comfortable. We would love to stay here again in the future.
