Collinsvale Market

Enjoy panoramic views of the River Derwent, Mount Wellington, Mona Museum, and the Tasman Bridge, all from the comfort of this beautifully appointed home. This spacious and bright house is perched high amongst the Tasmanian blue gums – it feels peacefully remote but is just a 20-minute drive from the vibrant Hobart city centre and less than five minutes from Mona museum. Perfect for extended family get-togethers, or groups of friends exploring the state.

Nestled in private bushland on the same Berriedale peninsula as the world famous Museum of Old and New Art, Mona’s eight super-flash luxury pavilions are perfect for those who like their luxe accommodation to stimulate the brain as much as the indulgence-muscles. Each pavilion is unique, adorned with spenny artworks, contemporary bespoke furniture by Tasmanian designers, and furnishings from the likes of Philippe Starck, Patricia Urquiola and Ron Arad (plus the odd bit of pre-Columbian sculpture). As well as the usual trimmings—spas, great sheets, fluffy bathrobes, premo minibar, sweeping river views—guests receive a complimentary Moorilla wine tasting and daily breakfast in the lavish surrounds of the Source Restaurant. There are several other bars and restaurants on site, too. A stay in the pavilions also gets you priority access to Mona—a bucket-list Tasmanian destination that’s only made better by getting to gloat that you spent the weekend staying there as well.

Hidden away in the quietness of Lenah Valley, Provider House is a place of relaxation while being only a short drive to the city centre. It's tranquil getaway that is the perfect balance between remote and city living. Provider House is beside a peaceful stream that wouldn’t be out of place in Japan. It’s sheltered under the mighty flanks of Kunanyi (Mount Wellington), the massif that looms over Tasmania’s capital. The house sleeps six guests over three rooms. The interior is adorned with homewares from the Provider Store and from our trips to Japan.
