Karkalla historic terrace - walk cafes

Summary:
Karkalla Terrace is at the centre of all the best Hobart has to offer - walk through the laneways of historic Battery point right into the heart of the CBD, wharf, and entertainment precinct of Salamanca. It's a short stroll to the Sandy Bay beach and yacht club, as well as the vibrant shopping strip and University of Tasmania.

Come home to a warm and welcoming two-story terrace house with two / three bedrooms, private courtyard and native gardens. Karkalla terrace is a comfortable and convenient base for couples, families or small groups to explore Hobart and surrounds.

The Space:
The ground floor features a broad veranda with views to Kunanyi (Mt Wellington), opening into a living room with smart TV, electric fireplace and plenty of games, books and toys. The couch folds out to a comfy double bed, creating a private third bedroom if needed.
The open plan kitchen and dining includes everything you need, including electric stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave and vintage crockery and glassware. It opens up to a rear courtyard which has a striking historic hand-built sandstone wall, creating a unique private space to enjoy outdoor dining and BBQ. The courtyard also has the laundry with washer and dryer and clothesline.
The upper level has the master bedroom with a celery pine 4 post bed, luxurious mattress and views out to the gardens. The second bedroom has a double bed with additional fold out futon and views out to the elm trees and neighbourhood. The large bathroom has a shower over a bath, and here you'll also find all the extras you need like ironing board, porta-cot and child safe gates for stairways.
Outside, beyond the courtyard there is a set of stairs that leads to a native garden with a covered deck area, perfect for cups of tea in nature. Karkalla is named after a local native plant, also known as Pigface, that grows in coastal areas and around the terrace, and has been used by Aboriginal Australians for many centuries as a food and medicine.
We look forward to welcoming you to Karkalla.

The Neighborhood:
Karkalla is located in a quiet, tree-lined street right on the boundary of Battery Point. The Terrace has no dedicated car parking; however street parking is readily available.
What to do nearby;
- Stroll into the historic Battery point (via the roads or challenge yourself with a stair climb up the Nanny goat or Billy goat lanes), transporting you back in time with beautiful architecture and gardens.
- There are so many incredible bakeries within a short walk – we recommend Jackman & Mc Ross in Battery Point, Sisterhood or Daci & Daci in Sandy Bay.
- Walk into the world-famous Salamanca entertainment precinct for restaurants, bars, cafes, shops and the very popular Saturday morning markets.
- A few steps more will take you to the Hobart marina where you can enjoy festivals like Taste, Winter MOFO or the finishing line of the Sydney to Hobart yacht race. The marina is also where you can grad delicious fish and chips (sometimes with cheeky seals) or catch a boat up the river or across the bay.
- Head down to the Sandy Bay beach and marina where you can swim (if you're brave) or walk along the harbour past playgrounds and parks
- Visit the university of Tasmania's huge campus with water views
- Woolworths, Coles and Scoop are all located in the Sandy bay shopping strip, as well as local bakers, butchers,
salons and boutique shopping.
- Head up to Kunanyi (Mt Wellington) for rainforest bush walks, mountain biking, spectacular views and often snow! Be sure to stop in for a rainforest hike and hot drinks at Lost Freight, at the springs, as well as the Fern Tree nature playground, mountain bike tracks, pipeline walking paths and the Fern tree tavern
- Drive out of town for day trips to beautiful places like the Huon Valley, Bruny Island, Richmond or Port Arthur.

Getting Around:
It best to have a vehicle to fully explore Southern Tasmania, however the property is very well located, and many attractions such as Salamanca Markets and the historic area of Battery Point are just a short walk. There is also a frequent bus service that runs along Sandy Bay Road, just a few minutes away.
