Kid-friendly holiday rentals in South Hobart

My partner and I had a lovely stay at Braithwaite! We travelled down to Hobart, for Dark Mofo, and the house was the perfect home base to unwind and refresh after day/night trips. The place was spotless and each space was prepared with care, to ensure we had everything we needed. We made great use of the outdoor bath, which was appreciated after a day on foot.

Joanne’s place was such a great base for a long weekend in Hobart. Perfectly situation in Sandy Bay, a short walk from water. Easy access to nearby shops, cafes and supermarkets. So close to all that little destinations we explored over the weekend. Thanks so much for having us in your lovely home.

An absolutely beautiful home! My husband and I stayed for a week for our honeymoon, and it was the perfect getaway! The home is stunning, close to CBD and everything was spotless and clean. We couldn’t have stayed anywhere better. Thank you Aloïse!!

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful property. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true home—not just a holiday rental. Everything was so well maintained, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully set up to make our stay comfortable and stress-free. Ben and Tess were exceptional hosts—warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. Communication was seamless, and they went above and beyond to make us feel at home. It’s the little things that really stood out: a pantry stocked with essentials like olive oil, a lovely selection of teas and coffee, and even fresh milk waiting in the fridge. These thoughtful touches made such a difference. The decor throughout the house was absolutely stunning—stylish yet cozy, with so much attention to detail. And the views? Absolutely breathtaking. The home is in the perfect spot, with scenery that you’ll remember long after your trip is over. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it!

We had a wonderful stay at Little Arthur. The space was beautifully styled, and we especially appreciated the Samsung Frame TV with its wide range of streaming options and the convenience of AirPlay for our own content. The location was great, with plenty of fantastic restaurants nearby, many of which were recommended in the hosts guidebook. A big thank you to the hosts for all the thoughtful touches, and for being so accommodating and responsive throughout our stay. We’d absolutely recommend staying here!

This house felt like home to us from the moment we walked in the door and the house stayed warm and inviting for the whole of our stay. The gorge is a short invigorating walk away as is the heart of this colonial village. And there is a lot to be said for having a conscientious IGA Foodstore on the next corner.

Fantastic space, absolutely loved staying here and it felt just like home. Close to plenty of activities and dining, also being private and tucked away to feel comfortable at night. Will definitely recommend!

Beautiful house. Good location and Antonia was very easy to communicate with…. The only thing I will say is just be aware if you’re a taller person that some of the doors ways are quite short, my boyfriend is 6ft and hit his head a couple times along the way.

I couldn’t have asked for more during my stay at Ruth’s. The space was warm, cozy and inviting after my long work days. Bed was super comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom were well stocked, clean and modern. Ruth was a great host. Thank you.

Petra and Wayne’s place is immaculate. The cleanest Airbnb we’ve ever booked. Tasteful, warm and comfortable furnishings with a lovely garden outlook and beautiful views to the river. They are friendly, responsive and helpful and also respectful of space and privacy for their guests. The apartment is a 20 min walk downhill to the city. The walk home is steep but a quick uber or taxi solves that problem. We would definitely stay again, loved it.

An excellent stay in the most well-cared for Airbnb we have seen. Luxurious, cosy, local recommendations, and host was available and proactive. Many little touches to enhance your stay. This will be one of your best accommodation experiences during your travels. A highlight on the app for sure.

Beautiful city and harbour view, clean and spacious kitchen with seasoning provided spacious and cozy living and bedroom

My partner and I stayed at Dean and Moya’s place while in Hobart. It was a good base for exploring the city and was within walking distance of the city centre. The place is modern and has a great view of the city. We loved the heated floors in the bathroom/kitchen. We were also visited by a Pademelon in the backyard that had a joey in its pouch. Overall, we had a lovely stay.

Julie's place is a fantastic place to stay in Hobart. It was super convenient, cozy and peaceful, and we felt right at home. There was even a lovely little box of treats on the dining table waiting for us when we arrived! Would highly recommend this place.

Lovely apartment that met all our needs Close to local shops and restaurants short walk into city and easy access to local sights such as Salamanca markets and Mt Wellington

I loved staying at Deanna's gorgeous studio. It was the perfect bolt-hole from which to explore Hobart. I really lucked out and would definitely rebook. It's so close to the centre of the city, but you feel just far enough away to feel like you're experiencing every day Hobart. It was a short walk to the local cafe, and also supermarket etc. My favourite aspect is the view of the mountain from everywhere you look in New Town. Thanks for having me Deanna!

Amazing location, easy check in and they were very generous with both early check in and late check out, comfortable beds, super responsive. One of the best air bnbs we've stayed in.

We really enjoyed our stay at James place. The place was very clean and comfortable and nice to relax after all day exploring Hobart. We were also able to check in early which is a bonus! James have been great! Highly recommend this place

We had a great time staying at Robert’s Condo. The location was great for walking everywhere. Close to good cafes and restaurants. Robert added some lovely unexpected little additions which made us feel right at home. Thank you! The condo itself is large and has modern amenities. We look forward to travelling back someday with our 1 year old son.

Roxy and Ambre have done a beautiful job with this unit. You can hear the waves crashing and see the beach from the apartment. Beautifully clean and bed was really comfortable. You are close to many yummy restaurants and a few with delicious vegan GF options. If you like op shopping like me you'll find them in walking distance to the apartment. We stayed for 6 days and the neighbours were lovely saying hi to our son each day. The beach is also a kids paradise with a swing on the sand and an area the community have set up with toys. Lovely little touches in the apartment with a rain jacket and umbrellas. We just loved it and will definitely be back. Thanks for making our holiday so relaxing.

I highly recommend staying at this apartment if your visiting Hobart. Fiona was great with communication, the apartment was modern, clean, well equipped and a great location. Thank you Fiona!

Great host, lovely condo near to everything in Hobart. Would recommend. A+

We had a wonderful stay, thank you! Great location, so easy to walk everywhere we needed to go. Clean, comfortable and cosy.

An amazing location and spot, the hosts were attentive and the room was spotless and adorably homely! Not to mention the amazing views, sad we didn’t book for longer! Definitely will be back next time.
