"REFLECTIONS ON THE BAY", SANDY BAY, HOBART
YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME IN BEAUTIFUL HOBART
"Reflections on the Bay" is a stylish, spacious and totally refurbished townhouse which has been lovingly decorated for your enjoyment. Every item in the home is brand new, as of March 2015. There are 3 bedrooms, two of which open to the private courtyard and the two bathrooms are fresh and spacious. We offer a king bed in the main bedroom and also a queen bed in the second and a single bedroom with optional folding bed. You may opt for 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms depending on your numbers.
There are two spacious bathrooms, the main having a separate bath and shower, and toilet in separate room.
The wonderful open plan living and kitchen area is blessed with sunshine all day and of course, the fabulous river views. The front balcony opening from this area is a very relaxing place for alfresco dining. The BBQ is located in the quiet private courtyard.
We are located only 5 minutes from the CBD and Salamanca and so it is a great base for your time in magical Hobart.

These places are are all within walking distance. All of Hobart's facilities are located close by.

Our neighbourhood
Sandy Bay is such a gorgeous, sunny area of Hobart, with Waimea Ave being one of the really lovely, safe and quiet streets.
Our driveway leads you to Sandy Bay Rd with the beaches just a short cycle or walk away and views to amaze! Yachts, cruisers and ferries are numerous. It is so close to all of Hobart's delights, being just a 5 minute drive to the city, or a short bus trip.
There are beaches, parks and playgrounds, restaurants and shops all just a walk away. Try Maning Reef Cafe just around the corner for their famous Tempura Huon Mushrooms, seafood and wood fired pizzas for casual dining, or the lovely restaurants on the Boardwalk or the Revolving Restaurant at Wrest Point. It is just a short walk along the riverfront! It is also a short drive to the restaurants and shopping in the city and Salamanca and the funky dining area of North Hobart. The ferry to MONA leaves from the waterfront in the city or you can drive there in about 20 minutes.
Sandy Bay is home to the University of Tasmania and the Royal Yacht Club, Derwent Sailing Squadron and Sandy Bay Sailing Club and also Wrest Point Casino.
All so close!

Excellent property, great views
Thank you to the host for an amazing stay. The property was spotlessly clean, modern and a fantastic layout for a family. Booking our stay was extremely easy from start to finish as was check in and out. The hosts were professional and very kindly put on the heaters before our arrival (got in late at night) and left some beautiful fresh bread and jam for our first morning. Would highly recommend Reflections on the Bay to other people wanting to stay in Hobart, regards Carol
Thank you Carol for your lovely review. We are really happy that you enjoyed your stay at Reflections on the Bay and you would be warmly welcomed back if you would like another Tassie holiday.
Absolutely beautiful!
There were five of us who found this house to have everything one could wish for. Except we wished we could have stayed a week!
Great location, great property
We thoroughly enjoyed Reflections on the Bay. The property has been newly renovated with quality furnishings and fittings. Very comfortable indeed. The 2 bathrooms and 2 levels suited our group which consisted of 1 x couple, and 2 x singles. Spacious and roomy for us all. The views from the lounge room and balcony upstairs are beautiful. Having continental breakfast provided the first morning was great as we hadn't been to any shops to pick up any supplies. The keyless entry and security was really handy too as we didn't have to worry about who had the keys and coming back to the property separately. Wireless interest was awesome too. We'll definitely stay here again next year. Hosts were great, easy and helpful to deal with.
Thank you for your lovely review Kel and you are most welcome next year for another stay. We just found a grey hooded wind cheater behind the couch cushions. Does this belong to one of you and if so, would you like us to post it to you? Cheers, Alison
Perfect views!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - house was clean and everything that we needed was provided. Host was very friendly and accommodating. Lounge room/kitchen provided natural sunlight with amazing views. Located close to the city and river for morning walks - refreshing and relaxing. The only downside was the steep drive way but if you drive a medium sized car it's fine to park and get out of.
Fantastic location!!
Had a brill time! Alison and Peter perfect hosts!!
