Built in the 1940's, Art Deco inspired former funeral home with bomb shelter, an interesting story for when you arrive. The home has just recently under gone a transformation with new kitchen, floor coverings, insulation, double glazed tinted windows and freshly painted. You will have your own lounge located through the French doors from your room. Please note that the room does NOT have an ensuite, The bathrooms are across the dining area. BUT you have the sole use of a shower room & WC and a large Spar room. I have an office for you to use if required with printing facilities. You will have under cover parking with remote (subject to vehicle height) The home is located within 1 block from the Town centre a gentle few minutes walk. Please check out the floor plan.
I am a former Hotelier, Chef and Hospitality Manager amongst many other things.... I love to entertain with many stories. But I also recognize the privacy that many want & need or require. If you have travelled to the U.K. and stayed in their Bed & Breakfast, then you will understand as to what I am trying to achieve. I do have a pooch named Woolfie, little timid but will not annoy you. Once you settle in, so will he... (he has his own lounge room). I am a Marriage Celebrant, so if you are eloping, guess what!!!! I can put a Wedding Package together. I am on the premises should you need my help.
Located a few hundred metres from the town centre which has a lot of eateries & antique shops. Wonderful walks by the river are a minute stroll away. Access to the Esplanade is 100 metres away. 15 minutes drive to Mona, 25 Minutes into Hobart, 40 minutes to the Airport. Mt Field National Park is approx 35 kms from home. Access to Queenstown approx 4 hour drive. Local golf course is 2 minutes drive. Bush Inn (oldest licenced pub in Australia) is 2 minutes walk. New Norfolk is steeped in History, so much to explore. Check out the Derwent Valley wed site.
