From its awe-inspiring kitchen, to its enticing clawed-foot bathtubs, and from its richly textured, antique-furnished rooms – complete with warming fireplaces and stained glass windows – to its picturesque garden, the luxurious Lumiere Lodge is a visually-oriented traveller’s ultimate stay.

Over the span of five years, from 2015, resolute couple Kerran and Sam meticulously and lovingly restored Lumiere Lodge – a striking residence in Old Town Hobart that feels as though it transcends time.

Adorned in oil paintings, kitted with locally made whiskeys ready to pour, swathed in a cheerful yet subdued colour palette and brimming with thoughtful details, there’s little wonder this house has become the backdrop and star of many photo shoots and events over the past two years.

One part time-machine, one part Pinterest ‘dream house’ board and every part beautiful, this is a photogenic, uniquely Tasmanian stay where no detail has been overlooked.

Perched among the leafy hills of West Hobart, the distinguished house is just a walk away from the historic streets of Battery Point – where the city’s fascinating past is evident at every turn.

Visitors who can peel themselves away from Lumiere Lodge’s striking and well-stocked kitchen to eat out can head to nearby Insitut Polaire – a sleek wine bar and kitchen that epitomises Hobart’s contemporary dining scene. Alongside its extensive wine list, the bar serves up a refined cocktail menu and a selection of seasonal, sophisticated dishes that showcase Tasmania’s finest produce.

Then, return to Lumiere Lodge for a relaxing soak in the tub and to lounge by the fire (locally distilled spirit or a fine wine from the house’s collection in hand), to best take in the ambience of your evening’s accommodation.

Of course, no detail-oriented stay would be complete without luxurious amenities. And, here, Le Labo’s Santal 33 skincare and haircare range are available for guests’ enjoyment.

Come morning, a tempting selection of eateries and cafes await exploring, all within walking distance. Try Sunbear Coffee for your morning brew and a kick-starting breakfast, and head to Hill Street Grocer, West Hobart, for fireside provisions (including freshly baked breads, local cheeses and wines, artisanal chocolates, and more). Or, linger longer at the lodge and take your coffee in the garden.
