"The Cave" West Hobart 🌈 🌱 🏳️‍⚧️

"The Cave" is a stylish and unique self-contained apartment under my centrally located 1885 West Hobart home. It is a 15 minute walk to the city centre and a short walk to the Elizabeth Street North Hobart cafe strip. With the stairs to the entry and the bed in a raised platform "nook", "The Cave" may not be for everyone, but if you're looking for well located lodgings that ooze atmosphere I think you'll love it! The space The Cave is well appointed, private, cosy and comfortable, with access to the garden. I have put thought and effort into it having everything you might need, for a long or short stay. For e.g. the kitchen has everything you should need for cooking, including a stick blender, there is a bluetooth speaker for music, and there is Chromecast available on the TV. However, I request that you don't cook meat or fish (I am vegan and the smell lingers in the space and can transfer to my home upstairs). Please note that there are stairs to negotiate and also that the bed is on a raised platform. Also, there may be guests (and me!) in the house above you, and though I have worked hard in the renovation to minimize sound transfer between the house and "The Cave" you will likely hear some footsteps etc. (I would ask that you are respectful of noise transfer upwards as well, though you would need to be pretty loud for it to be a problem!) I am open to pets staying, but please check with me first. No more than 2 dogs are allowed and a one off additional cleaning fee of $20 per stay applies. Pets must be kept under control at all times (I have a dog is who great with other dogs) and you must clean up after your dog. There is a small garden but no grassed area, but there a several parks close by. I can provide water and food bowls, a comfy bed (I have a large and a small one) and covers for the couch etc. There is a couch I can make up as single bed if you need it (there is a charge of $20 per night for a 3rd guest). I also rent my guest room in the main house on occasion, so if there are more than two of you traveling and you are looking to stay together let me know and I can advise if the guest room is available and what the cost would be. Please note that AirBnB has recently changed how they show the total cost, and it is no longer clear to guests that about 16.5% of the total fee you pay goes to AirBnB. Guest access I live upstairs, and so the garden and laundry outside "The Cave" is shared with me and/or other guests upstairs. Other things to note As I am vegan I ask that you refrain from cooking meat (including fish) as the smell can linger, and also carry into the main house. I live an eco-friendly lifestyle and would really appreciate your help with this. I try and minimise plastic use, I compost fruit and vegetable scraps (the compost bin is under the kitchen sink), recycle, and turn off lights and heating when they're not needed. I supply a range of teas, coffee, sugar, non-dairy milks, and spreads (margarine, jams etc), organic and gluten-free mueslis, fruit, and there is bread in the freezer for toast. I also supply oil, vinegar, salt and pepper for cooking, and there are some other basics (pasta, rice, etc). You're also welcome to help yourself to herbs from the garden. I am very happy to give you herbs and spices from my supply - just ask :-) Registration Details Exempt: This listing falls under the 'home sharing' exemption
