Mountain Top Snug, Studio Itas

What We Love

Rising from the rugged Tasmanian landscape the clean lines and metal facade of this modern annexe create a contemporary yet warm structure. Clean lines meet at the floor to ceiling windows, connecting this home to nature from every aspect, and the minimal interior is impeccably designed to deliver the best in wabi-sabi living.

This contemporary studio offers a pristine and perfect escape into natural Snug living. The open-plan interior of this home delivers a rejuvenating escape. The kitchen is fully equipped and the sunken lounge space offers a designer seating area, perfect for soaking up the view. Speaking of soaking, the jewel of this home is the deep outdoor bathtub. Relax in style letting the wind gently waft through your hair as you watch the sunset from the deep tub alfresco. Even your slumber has been meticulously designed. A King bed is positioned to overlook your stunning views, or, if coming with children, they can transport themselves to Japan in the Sunken tatami children’s bed, with fitted tatami mattresses and a sense of eastern serenity.

As revitalising as its quiet surroundings, this annexe perfectly echoes the alternative lifestyle found in Snug itself. Sparsely populated and extremely beautiful, the main pull of Snug is nature. There are plenty of jaw-dropping hikes and unmissable excursions (Bruny Island is a day trip with taking, and Snug Falls offers year-round beauty). Snug Beach is just waiting to be explored, offering very calm waters, perfect for swimming and kayaks - not to mention the spectacular sunsets!

You’re only 30 minutes from Hobart, an easy drive or bus. With its commitment to produce-driven dining, weekly markets and food experiences, you can expect a long and varied list of top places to eat in Hobart. Coffee fiends will be satiated, Hobart is a mecca when it comes to cafes. Nightlife is unbeatable too, as there are many Hobart bars and boundary-pushing distilleries scattered throughout the city. Culture vultures won’t be disappointed, as you’re primed for a visit to the wonderful Mona art gallery, and if you’re visiting at the right time of year, the Dark Mofo festival, to experience the best in art, culture and cuisine.
Important to Note: The property you have booked is a standalone Studio house situated on a block that also features a separate 2 bedroom home (behind the property). While each home is completely private, please be aware that the fire pit area is shared between both units.

Property Layout
This studio is located on a block of land dedicated to two unique properties. It is nestled atop a hill away from neighbouring properties.

On this block there is also a separate House that is NOT accessible to you or rented out to other guests during your stay. You are the only guests staying at any -one time.

If you're seeking more space or traveling with a larger group, you have the option to rent both this studio & the Two Bedroom House on the same block together as one. This would allow you to enjoy both the entire property exclusively. Please reach out if you're interested in this option.
