Lumière Lodge, c. 1890
Sleeps 6 | Bedrooms 3 | Bathrooms 3
At the foothills of West Hobart sits Lumière Lodge, a stunning late 1800s Victorian townhouse in a beautiful wide street filled with historic homes - authentic old Hobart at its best. Hosts Sam and Kerran have created romantic, luxurious boutique accommodation true to the Victorian Style, rich in colour and character, with artisan ceramics, fossicked glassware, vintage homewares and artworks creating an old world feel.
Lumière Lodge has three bedrooms with king and queen beds and separate bathrooms for each couple. As old Hobart town awakes, stay cosied up in bed and watch the morning light play against the large antique windows, then enjoy your morning coffee in the rustic cottage garden.
Of an evening, stunning chandeliers, wall sconces and antique oil paintings create the perfect ambience. Cook your favourite meal in the fully equipped, traditional English kitchen. Sip whiskey by the fire, then slip into the clawfoot bath and bathe by candlelight under the stained glass window, or upstairs in the attic bathroom under the stars.
Little luxuries are part of your stay, including Santal 33 amenities, custom bath salts and washed linen sheets. For breakfast, savour Queens Pastry Croissants or Pigeon Hole Stone Ground Sourdough with gourmet condiments and tea/coffee making facilities. Complimentary drinks are included to mark your special occasion and beautiful fresh flowers are scattered throughout the home.
This is a stay for lovers, dreamers, and creatives, and those who desire to escape our hurried world and step back in time.

Things To Do
From Lumière Lodge, it’s a five minute walk to Salamanca, or 15 minutes into the CBD for all that Hobart city has to offer. Also nearby, Hill Street Grocer stocks gourmet produce, local wine and cheese. Salamanca Market on Saturday morning is a must, with its many stalls selling handmade Tasmanian products, set against the beautiful backdrop of Georgian sandstone buildings and Mount Wellington. Tour Australia’s oldest brewery, Cascades Brewery, dating back to 1824. Dine at Peacock and Jones, an intimate restaurant in the old stone IXL warehouse on Hobart’s waterfront, serving Tasmania’s finest produce…or you may choose to just stay in and enjoy the beauty of Lumière Lodge.
