Coopers Cottage

Coopers Cottage is a heritage-listed accommodation property on Hampden Road in Battery Point, one of Hobart’s established historic neighbourhoods. The cottage combines colonial character with the practical features of a modern, fully self-contained apartment, making it suited to a couple looking for a base while exploring Hobart and Tasmania.

The property is arranged over two levels, with a bedroom upstairs and the bathroom downstairs. A steep staircase connects the levels, with around 12 steps, so the layout is not suitable for children. The accommodation is designed primarily for two guests and offers a private, residential setting rather than the shared facilities of a hotel.

Inside, the cottage includes a queen-size bed, heating and cooling, an electric blanket, television, DVD player and Wi-Fi. The kitchen area is equipped with a stove, microwave and refrigerator, giving guests the option of preparing meals at the property. Washing and drying facilities are also provided, along with a steam iron.

Battery Point gives the cottage a walkable setting close to everyday conveniences and local hospitality. Restaurants, cafés, gift shops and a bakery are located within the surrounding streets, while Salamanca Place is also nearby. The ferry terminal for MONA is around a 15-minute walk away, making the cottage a practical base for combining city exploration with a visit across the River Derwent.

Coopers Cottage is particularly suited to a couple who values a central Hobart location, self-contained facilities and the atmosphere of a historic residential area. The two-level layout, steep staircase and lack of onsite parking are important considerations when planning a stay. The cottage provides a quieter alternative to larger accommodation properties while keeping Battery Point’s food, shopping and cultural attractions within easy reach.
