This spacious one-bedroom suite combines timeless heritage with refined luxury, offering guests a stay steeped in history and comfort.
The room opens directly onto Corinda’s spectacular first-floor verandah, adorned with intricate ironwork and offering two-way views over the harbour, the gardens, and Kunanyi / Mount Wellington.

Corinda is different. Built in the early 1880s by Julian’s great-great-grandfather, Alfred Crisp, this magnificent private home remains one of Hobart’s grandest and best-located heritage properties.

Staying here is not just accommodation — it’s an invitation to live within history.
Set in Glebe, one of Hobart’s most elegant and historic suburbs, Corinda House offers serenity and convenience in equal measure. A short stroll brings you to the Hobart Waterfront, Salamanca Market, and Battery Point Village, while the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens and Kunanyi / Mount Wellington await just beyond.
Whether you’re here for romance, relaxation, or discovery, The Verandah Room offers a truly timeless Tasmanian experience — where every sunrise, view, and antique whisper tells the story of Hobart’s golden age.
