Soak in the history of the prestigious and historic inner-city waterfront village of Battery Point whilst being on the doorstep of Hobart’s best attractions.

Never a truer rag to riches story than was the life of convict Robert Logan who was instrumental in transforming the seaman’s village of Battery Point into one of Hobart’s most prestigious and sort after suburbs.

Originally built by Logan for his young family, Berwick Cottage is now a well-appointed central base for you to enjoy with family and friends, as you immerse yourself in the areas historical past and enjoy the thriving city that Hobart is today.

A romantic city getaway or a cultural family holiday experience, Berwick Cottage has everything you need (and nothing you don’t). Your own slice of history nestled in the surrounds of the prestigious waterfront Battery Point village where you can equally fill your days with a multitude of city activities or spend your time recharging and reflecting whilst nestled in the stunning surrounds of Tasmania’s state capital. Perfect for strolling around the historic streetscapes or enjoying a fine dining experience – like us we hope that every guest who stays will love it as much as we do.

Berwick Cottage is a gorgeous Victorian Georgian cottage, named after the English town of Berwick-Upon-Tweed where a young delinquent Robert Logan was sentenced to transportation to Van Dieman’s Land in 1829. Maintained with love, care and thoughtful nods to its heritage, Berwick Cottage has all the modern conveniences of inner-city living with a bright and minimalist aesthetic. It is a comfortable space celebrating a typical Tasmanian heritage experience and certainly doesn’t aspire to be a luxury hotel and that is what makes it such an amazing space.

Its large well-equipped kitchen is adjoined by a dining area comfortably seating all guests. A separate living area is a cosy space where you can relax, unwind and enjoy the smart TV with access to fast unlimited WiFi. Chromecast is available for streaming from your own device.

Three comfortably furnished and spacious bedrooms provide private spaces for you and your family or friends. Two of the bedrooms located at the front of the cottage have queen beds and the third is furnished with two single beds.

Within walking distance are numerous attractions, you can start your day with a coffee and breakfast only metres away at the renowned Jackman & McRoss Bakery, or venture 5 minutes further down the road into tree-lined Salamanca Place to explore the restaurants, gift shops or Tasmanian’s most visited attraction the Salamanca Market which takes place every Saturday.

If you are in Hobart for one of the major festivals such as Taste of Tasmania, Mona Foma or Dark Mofo, Berwick House is the perfect place to base yourself.

Hampden Road restaurants and eateries are just moments away. Salamanca Place, parks and the joys of the busy waterfront with the MONA ferry are all a 5-10 minute stroll from the cottage.

For those of you travelling in larger groups, the Berwick Cottage has an adjoining studio that accommodates two people and is also available for bookings as the combined property named Berwick Cottage and Studio.

Coffee, tea and basic provisions are provided and there are numerous grocers and a wide array of restaurants and Cafés.
